Lawn Services

Whenever I was on Facebook I noticed a very weird lawn service name, "Lawn and Order." This companies name is very similar to the TV series Law and Order. This company is located in Florida and with the weather down there a lawn service is almost a must. The people who came up with this name thought outside of the box or they really must love the TV series Law and Order.

Good ideas

While driving down the road or just enjoying a cup of tea a great idea pops into your head that could truly be something if you remembered so what do you do? Do you write it down in a notebook, have a voice recorder handy, or do you put it inside your phone? I like to use my cell phone because I usually have it with me more than a notebook. My memory can be horrible so when I have an idea I believe is wonderful at the time I can look back on it later and truly think about it. How would you keep those ideas that all of a sudden pop into your head?

Advertising in 1970's vs. Today

          In the 1970's marketing took a real hit and had a lot of challenges many entrepreneurs faced, most of those challenges we do not have today. Many companies that manufactured radios, TVs, and cassettes got swept away from the Japanese, gasoline shortages took place in 1973, as well as inflation. Although this decade faced many challenges it did not stop people from advertising their products. Everyday people saw approximately 1,600 ads a day due to television, 80 of those ads people noticed, and 12 of those ads actually had people react to it.

     Today people can see probably 2,000 advertisements, from television, billboards, and even flyers. Many people acknowledge these advertisements and react to them because of all the demands we now have as well as the wants we all face. While we face unemployment and many other economic struggles we do not face as many obstacles as people in the 1970's did. We are more technological advanced, our wants are different and have changed over time, also how we operate our market systems have changed some so today our advertisement has advanced and has helped many companies in making profits and getting their name out to many people whereas, back in the 1970's it was some advertisements but the wants and demands where not as high as they are today.

Clowning around

While I was on Facebook I noticed a website that had a make-up tutorial on how to apply clown highlighting and contouring. These women would apply certain make up, that they show and advertise, to certain parts on their face that in the end would resemble an actual clowns make up and once they blended everything in it would be beautiful. These women are advertising the products that give them such wonderful results which in turn helps the make-up companies because if some people are like me I want the same results therefore I want to use the same products. So it goes to show that if you make a wonderful product, that people use daily, the word of mouth can be an amazing advertisement since it can reach many people.
