1) Silly as it sounds, to me, it's a genuine mockumentary. Banksy had genuine information and his message was inspired on the streets. The mockumentary would be about Thierry. 2) The street artists' wanted to go really public with their art and to me, it shows that they want people to know who they are yet they want to stay anonymous when it comes to upfront contact. They also wanted to show people what they can do. They were effective because even though it's considered vandalism, people would stop to stare and whether they may admit or not, they would most likely find them amusing. 3) Mr. Brainwash was someone who incorporated Banksy's work and the other street artists' work (in the video.) He was only effective because he opened an art show and presented himself. 4) The key differences between MBW & street artists are that MBW showed himself upfront, he wanted everyone to know exactly who he was and behind the art, he wanted to let people see it was him doing it. He wasn't anonymous; street artists were vise versa. 5) What brought a lot of people to the show was Banksy's promotion. 6) Graffiti is vandalism but the real message is the art. It sucks having your property being painted but for other people, looking at it is much more interesting. If someone painted on my wall, I'd honestly have to judge based on what the drawing is. If it's utterly horrible, I'd flip shiz. Similarities between graffiti and guerilla marketing is that it's in the public eye, art on the wall and it's marketing something. Either an idea or an item.

I love Italian food so my favourite places to eat are: Olive Garden & Eastside Marios.
Olive Gardens: Photo Gallery & New Items :)
Eastside Marios: A wonderful menu

The ten businesses I would open up if I had ten million dollars would be: Panda Flowers, Urban Behaviour. An orange julius, a yogen fruz, a chapters (book store), Aritzia, Pet Smart, Michaels, Sirens and Carlton Cards. The competition for Panda Flowers would be the Flower Shop (that's actually the name for it.) For Urban Behaviour it would Bluenotes. For orange julius would be jugo juice, for yogen fruz would be dairy queen. For chapters would be indigo, for Aritzia would be Lululemon. For pet smart would be Pet Land. For Michaels would be Zellers or Wal-Mart, for Sirens would be Urban Planet and for Carlton cards would Hallmark.
Competitions:

If I were to advertise something of my own that I'm giving up and getting money for it (that didn't make sense but..) I would probably give up my newborn dogs. A lot of people love dogs and my dad wouldn't have much of a problem with it. Well, of course, my dog has to produce more puppies but that is all.

My lazy employees

If I had a lazy employee who always showed up late and was totally unmotivated to even do the work. I would confront them and see what the deal is. If it was a you can shake it off kind of reason then I would give them a day break to see if they would like to continue working. If it was a really cut-deep personal reason then I would still give them a break and they can choose to keep working there or not. If it was a dumb reason like 'I just don't feel like it' then off to the dungeons of fired employees they go. My leadership would vary between my employees, it's what I would think - best suits them. But I would usually use a democratic leadership style for the majority of my employees.

Why is customer service important?

Customer service is important because of many reasons. One can be that it encourages security and enthusiasm within the customer. It also shows that us employees care and that we're more productive than just selling products/services. Before the selling, it encourages sale and after the selling it encourages the customer to come back and give a good review on the store; HENCE giving the store a good reputation.

Stanley's Video

During the video the CEO claimed culture matters, and how things get read rather than spreadsheets and all the paperwork. He also said leadership was important and to be liked is a really good thing. Putting passion and culture into the school store definitely improves to what the school store is doing now. It's good to be more upfront rather than wait to be noticed.

" What I learned about marketing in physics class " - Dan Cobley

Newton's Law: Force = Mass x Accelerations. "The more mass of the brand the more baggage it has, the more force is needed to change its positioning." The bigger the brand, the harder to reposition it. People contradict some of the things they say due to media consumption. Try to measure what consumers actually do not what they say they do. "You cannot prove the hypothesis through observation. You can only disprove it. You can believe in a brand but it can take one single thing to blow the consumer's belief. Try to avoid the screw ups that can undermine the brand. Entropy is a measure of disorder of a system that will always increase. Disbursement of brand energy, you need to embrace it.

AIDA is attracting the customer's attention, interest in demonstrating advantages and disadvantages, desire to show that we can solve whatever problem the customer's have. And getting the customer to take action: Like buying it. The first poster is informative, average enough, grammar is average, neatness is average. Man, I just can't do this right now.

The ways I can convince someone to buy the ugliest sweater in the world is buy marketing the product, making it seem like it's the best sweater in the world. I'd target my market to maybe elders or confused teenagers. I'd claim it's for unique people who have unique style. Also, I'd put maybe a small christmas gift to go along with it, it may give them an inquisitive insight into what the gift may be and they'll buy the sweater to figure it out. If I've been rejected? Thats A-OK, onto the next one, and I'll bug them out of their minds and then they'll end up buying the ugliest sweater for christmas.

"If goods were sold only for cash, prices would be lower and everyone would be better off." I somewhat agree because everyone relies on credit cards - even if they have to pay it off later."If I can't pay for something, it means I can't afford it, so I won't buy it." I agree because I use this term, aha!" I buy on credit whenever I can because credit increases sales and is good for businesses." I somewhat agree with this because people can rely on cash too much and they become in debt with someone that they need to pay back later... Cause that's what I do too, LOL. "You should use credit sometimes: it helps you establish a credit rating, which may be useful in case of an emergency." I don't have much of an opinion on it.. I'll just leave it at that. 

Planning is the basic function of management, it plans ahead of time, what should happen in the future; achievements of goals. Organizing is bringing in physical, financial and human resources. Achievement of organized goals. Leading/Directing is managerial function which helps the organizational method to work much more better for the achievement of organizational purposes. Controlling is implying measurement of accomplishment opposed to standards and ensures achievement of organizational goals. The advantages of participative planning is increase in productivity, job satisfaction, motivation, improved quality and reduced costs. The disadvantages of participative planning is that decision making slows down and there may be a raise in security issues.

My groups business is doing really well, better than expected. The managers in my life influence me in different ways. Teachers influence my future, what I wanna do, what I would be interested in. Coaches are teachers that I respect the most because not only do they influence me, they get to know me in a more.. Skilled level. My parents, I highly respect them but the only way they influence me is by giving examples as to what they were like when they were my age. I can understand the way they see things if they do it that way. I put this altogether and the influence they have on me is to strive and do my best, it doesn't matter about what the outcome would've been, it just matters if I tried my hardest. I can use this in my work because it shows that I won't give up and/or that I won't stress too much of the outcome, just as long as I did what needed to be done.

A product that is in the decline stage of it's miserable life is the Ipod Nano (those rectangle ones.) I went to go and buy one with my mom and then the salesman said that they no longer sell it because apple wanted to promote the touches and the shuffles. Made me sooooo angry. My recommendations would be to either upgrade them like they did with shuffles, add a touch addition to it, or market them like they used to. To me they seemed like they just gave up. I say so because I STILL WANTED IT & I THINK THEY COULD'VE SOLD MORE IF THEY WERE PATIENT.

I actually didn't work on the personalized yearbook because it was being so rude to me and didn't cooperate. I got angry and totally gave up. But what I liked about the product was that it was your own thing. However you wanted it, you'd get it from your end of the stick.. If that even made sense. I wished that it cooperated with me; thats the difference. This product would appeal to people who don't like the yearbook in he first place. I'd market them by spreading the word to friends and I'll wish they'd tell others.

The different ads that I can: ESPN's 'towel around the world,' Moosejaw's x-ray vision app. Mastercard's food truck feast. Mcdonald's student loan menu, 5050's fight the famine emblem, Amnesty International's slide to unlock ipad and Call of Duty's the Vet and the Noob. My favourite ad would be  Nike's spotlight, Cadbury's simply the best, Axe's hot girl vs zombies, the least favourite ad would be Staple's; 'WOW! Thats a low price,' and the State Farm ads. Ads that work for me are the ones that are always catching my attention and the one I don't mind seeing between TV shows. The ads that make me angry are the ones that keep playing over and over again, like, why does it keep coming. Like, some ads play 3 times in a row - I know you wanna get your point across but you don't needa rerun it. It really makes people uninterested.

Guerilla Marketing

The idea that I liked the most in the 'marketing ideas' was Las Vagas' "what happens here, stays here" campaign. I liked it because Las Vegas, turned themselves around and made it into a very.. Fun, very 'to forget about your problems' place; Sin City. The idea I liked most about the examples video was the Volkswagen one and thats mainly because it was fun, exciting and to me, highly creative. Of course, what's more fun.. Slides or escalators? Aha.

To me I think they're dead on with Generation Y, because well, I like knowing about things with the spread of mouth from friends. Especially friends with the same interest. I'd rather be notified of new products from texts and such instead of sitting and waiting for commercials to keep coming. I especially hate when commercials play on and on. For me, it's simple. I get told by friends, I go check it out and my results wind up from there.

I am sorry mainly because I didn't even pay attention to the video, I tried but my attention was elsewhere cause I have personal problems and I actually brought them to class, when I usually don't. Guaranteed, next video I will pay attention and do my opening activity much better. Kbye.

Is it possible for a business to be solvent but not profitable?

A business can be solvent and not profitable. You can pay all the debts that needed to be paid off and not gain profit.. But, where and what are the solvent businesses? I think it's possible but which company is? But anyways, every company doesn't need to be profitable. Profit gets you more money for more supplies and such. Where it's solvent, the business is handled and still operating. WOO.

Assets:

1. Cash: currency, coins, checking accounts, and cheques that were from customers. 
2. Prepaid Insurance: It's pretty much a contract that has been paid for in an advance. It shows the amount that has paid but doesn't expire due to the balance sheet date
3. Petty Cash: Cash that are given for supplies.. 
4. Supplies: Cost of supplies at one point in time
5. Accounts receivable: A combined amount of debit balance

My favourite advertisements are usually movies, they use the television to broadcast a new trailer and those trailers include the best scenes in the whole movie. My favourite store would be anything that has urban yet dull yet goes with a few things in my wardrobe. I mean, I buy things from everywhere, there's no place that I only look. My favourite soft drink would be cranberry cocktail from minute maid, ohh mannnn <3 This product is because it's been my favourite for the longest time.

A lot of things are working well with our group, the co-operation, the teamwork and how much we divided the work evenly.  I wish we can communicate better and present a little better. We can work better by talking more and being a bit more organized than needed. We can encourage each other and uplift each other's moods.

Isaac Asimov

“Never let your sense of morals get in the way of doing what’s right.” 
Everyone has different morals, some good and some bad. Some people have a mindset of what's right but some people think that what's right is to gain bragging rights from a fight. Asimov's quote is pretty much black and white; what's right and wrong. It can also come along the lines of 'don't let your pride get in the way,' well, that's how I see it.

If a friend asks me to add a few hours to work time sheet for him and I know he didn't put in the time, I'd give a whole lecture and make him do it. If the salesperson offers an Ipod at a discounted price after hours, I'D TAKE THE DEAL. But.. I'd ask why first. If the teller at the bank gave me too much more money in a banking transaction.. If it's just an extra 20, I'd keep it, if it's like 50 or more, I'd give it back, aha.

Unethical and morally wrong products.

I think a product that can be unethical and morally wrong would be products making fun or mimicking religion. These are very rare but then once in a while you'll run into a product that will go against the religion. Like nuns supporting christianity - naked - and used as like a sex doll or something. Or a Buddha statue wearing a skirt and lipstick. I know these sound so made up, and maybe I am making them up, buuuuuuuuuuuut... It can happen, there are some sick-minded, stupid people roaming the earth. HAH.

I think that the Calgarians took the statistics and took the big challenge of Occupy Wallstreet and just brought it here, to complain. Maybe that one percent where one out of ten people who gets more than the average, protestors just want to bring it out to Calgary to make it seem like we have the same problem.

I HAD AN AWESOME TIME

Dominique Gaston André Strauss-Kahn

He was born on April 25th, 1949 and born in the wealthy parts of Paris in Neuilly-sur-Seine He's referred to ask the DSK by the media and himself. He's a French economist, lawyer, politician and member of the French Socialist Party. He was also a professor of economics at the Paris Institute for Political Studies. With his second wife he has four daughters and he's now with his third wife, a French journalist since 1991. He was in office from November 1, 2007 to May 18, 2011.

I think it's become so popular because it's true and someone who has more than enough money is actually admitting it and not in a 'I-have-so-much-money-haha' kind of way. She's also willing to pay the taxes meaning that she needs to pay the taxes that the rich need to pay, 'cause apparently, rich people don't pay enough taxes. I think this statement is just an opinion, all the insurance that she has and money - she just wants everyone to have enough. This

Wallstreeeeeeetz

• Who is Occupy Wallstreet? Protesters that either want their job back or want a job in general
• What happened? Too many people are either really poor or really rich
• Where did it take place? New York on Wall Street and it's still expanding
• When did it take place? September 17
• Why did it happen? for those that are really rich they don't pay enough taxes and for those who are really poor they pay too much taxes
• How did it happen? People losing their jobs

Secrets of Success in 8 words

Do it for love not money; shyness and self-doubt; mothers. These ways of 'success' are just few out of a thousand. In 3 minutes the spokesperson of TED for today claimed that within 8 ways; you would be successful. (serve, passion, work, focus, persist, ideas, good, push and serve.) To serve is to prove what you got, passion is the fire within to bring your idea to life, work is the adrenaline pumping through to get where you need to, focus is your mindset of success, persist is to keep yourself in tact, idea is the natural root of success, good is.. good, and to push is to go through and not quit for anything.

Advertisements

Define it in your own words: Advertisements is a secret brainwashing activity. It's mainly for consumers to consider their marketing and once us consumers give in and buy whatever the ad was representing; they win.

Give examples of good advertisements: Redbull (redbull gives you wings,) and fun ads for school brands like 5 star.

What facts or characteristics are true of good advertisements: Popularity, consumers choice and sometimes, quality.

Give examples of bad advertisements: Long advertisements that don't get to the point until the end.

Goal: To make a small profit & to sell out all our flowers

1. Why do you want to achieve your business goal?

To feel accomplished and also to feel like we've done something right

2. Is the business goal energizing?

The business goal is pretty energizing considering how it's full of 'ifs' buuuut, yes, it is.

3. What will it look like when you get there?

Pretty damn amazing.

Women as leaders

Do you think this women has her facts correct? 
I think this woman does have her facts correct. She has enough correct to make her statements revolving the situation.


How do you think the world would change if women had more leadership roles?
If more women had more leadership roles, it would change the records, the data and the mindsets of so much more women. They'd be involved in more roles than men could possibly be involved in, including the personal roles. 

Naming businesses

To improve our business name we would incorporate flower or floral or anything super girly and flowery somewhere because just from JASTS? Nothing. Aha, JASTS isn't even a real word. 

JASTS: We don't follow the points that much because there isn't anywhere in the name where we communicate to our customers. We'd have to explain exactly what JASTS is and the best thing we could say is that it's our initial.. Plus one for the uniqueness though. 

I honestly have no other suggestions.

1. How will you do your bookkeeping? Can you use a template or software program? Name the program you intend to use.

In my group, I would probably want to do the bookkeeping things. The program I intend to use is the OWL software.

2. Last class you projected cash flow for your assignment, what did you learn?

I learned that you really need to know everyone's opinion on just one item. If you want profit, or just to sell.

3. How will you ensure that you get paid on time?

I would put someone in charge of the job. They'd send out invoices and such to remind the customers that payment is due, etc. 

Belated Day 8

Interdependence is better than independent work on some occasions; mainly depending on if you need more hands or more brains. What I do well as a team member is focus and cooperate. It's important because you need all the people you can get and the more focus - the more work to be done.

Twenty sixxxxxxth

One of our competition would be: Panda Flowers. I recently bought roses from there and that wasn't all they sold; they sold cute little cards, really well assorted bouquets, balloons, mugs and chocolates. Things that people would buy for impromptu gifts or, something nice for their significant other. The prices of individual flowers varies from the different kinds of flowers but it usually would range from $2 - $8. Bouquets range from $20 - $65. They market by having their ads in newspapers and the spread of word. Aha, I only talked to the staff to ask if they were hiring. 

I didn't learn much.. I guess I held some attention towards the video. To be honest however, I did not learn anything. Not because the guy isn't full of knowledge but the key aspects mainly went in one ear and out the other. But by looking at the equations he stated that the less affluence there was, the greater happiness will come. That was probably the only thing that came to mind. ALSO. That theres two kinds of technology that counts in the equation, both matter.

Whats a Tax ID Number?

Survey Question

Out of the following which kind of flower would you get your significant other on valentines day? :

a) Bouquet of roses

b) Dozens of daisies

c) Chocolate flowers

d) Ornamental yet real orchids

Malcolm's Video

Diversity can come off in many ways and in those ways it creates success. So, if every business involved different opinions, different perspectives and the knowledge of what people want well, you have a new tactic to your business. The business my group is planning involves flowers, bouquets. Instead of just roses we can sell daisies, tulips and sunflowers. People become have an eye for something pretty, but it has to be pretty in their eyes, not the groups.

How do convincing speakers vary their speech when they speak for different purposes and to different people?

They vary their speech according to the audience and what their intentions are. They'd target the audience's soft spot, you'd base them on their age stereotypes. For example, teens want whats 'in,' whats new and what would give them that temporary satisfaction. Adults want high quality things, things that would last them a long time. Seniors.. Well, they want whatever they need. And I emphasize on the need. Salesman would mainly start advertising, obviously.
