Rock On...

We're just about finished with our rock on project, right now we're working on our shirts and poster board. I've never had so much fun doing a school related project. It was more hands on than I thought it would be or easy. There was a lot of things that I thought would work ion this didn't. For eaxample, the merch designs, I now know some things that look in a picture or drawing doesn't always look good on a shirt or hoodie. We incorperated the 4p's of marketing with the pricing of tickets, and how we promoted it. We tried to make sure we kept our "fan's" bugdet in mind.
I took the pricing of the tickets very serious. I personally go to concerts a lot, at one point I went to one every week. Part if the reason I could do that is because of the ticket prices. Also most of the artist I go see aren't at Jay-Z or Rolling Stone satus and neither is The Chrome Note. At least not in the U.S, in France it might be a little different.
The way I see the artist that promote/market themselves to me, I took a page out of their book, and made it cool looking but inviting.

It Was That Fun Huh?

I actually had a good Spring Break. Usually it's not too memorable, but this one was. I relaxed the first couple of days and caught up with my soap operas. (yea I said it, soap operas) I didn't have to work during the week and i'm glad I didn't, that would have really sucked. Thursday morining my friends and I set off on our mini road trip to Austin for SXSW. Let me say this: I've never had so much fun in my life. (thats a bit of a exageration) But I really did have fun, there was a free concert going on but a few of us didn't get in. We met up with our friend that attends UT and hung out for a little bit. It was extremely hot and needless to say I almost died out there, but I had fun doing that too. LOL For the remainder of the day we just walked around and found interesting place to go see in Downtown Austin. We ate and ate, and just hung out. We stopped by this bar to see a few indie bands play and you know what? They were actually pretty good. Around 7:30 we decided to head back home, the ridwe to and from Austin was brutal, but in a good way. We got to see the country and aprciate Texas country landscape. That was my break, next stop,The Bamboozle in East Ruthford, New Jersey.

Wacky Inflatable Tube Man! Wacky Inflatable Tube Man! Wacky Inflatable Tube Man!

Ads are designed to catch our attention and make us buy the company's product. Some are good and some are just down right terrible. Now, there's a lot more funny commecials that combine the 4 P's and make us beleive that we just have to have their product. Like this one for instance:


It's geared toward the extreme gamer or the 'just want it' gamer. This add saids a lot of things. Like i'm the more futureistic gaming console, you must buy me! I mane i'd buy it.

I Forgot What This Post Was About..............

Oh, so yea this blog was supposed to be about the seven key functions that we have learned about. Anyway, the seven key functions are Selling, Distribution, Promotion, Pricing, Financing, Product/Service Management, Marketing Information Management. These correspond with each other because first when you need to say, sell a product you need to know who are you going to sell it to.(product/service management) How are you going to market you product so a group of people will buy it? Are your plans to promote it affective? (promotion/marketing information management) When you have all that figured out, the most important thing still has to be sorted out. How much are are you going to charge for your product/service? Is the group of people you're marketing to going to be able to afford you product? When you are starting up any new product or service, these are the most important things you need to consider.

My Favorite Superbowl Comercial

Aww jeez, there was a tone of superbowl comecials that I liked so it's hard to just pick one. So i'm going to pick three. The comercial the stuck out most to me was the Pepsi New Anthem comercial:

Because I know who Bob Dylan is thanks to my dad I see what connection the were making between then and now.
The other two is this one:

Babies are just awsome.

And this one:


Because even though men are really dumb, the are the coolest creatures ever!!!!!
And the don't get hurt easily. lol!

What was that?

My group and I just participated in some kind of "experiment". I required that we transport sat and water using only a paper bag, straw, napkin and a plastic spoon. So how we made it work. (Justin did most of the work) I would have been to hectic having every group member up there. (even thought that's what the majority of the groups did) It was cool I guess we didn't win but it was fun.

There's No "I" In Team....

Today we were told to read all of the students blogs and choose someone as your teammate according to their blogs. I think I chose a good teammate, he seems quiet but I think he's going to be a hard worker. I excited to see what we will be doing for the next four months in this class. i think it ought to be fun. We are still waiting on an incoming team remember, I'll be sure to update this blogger when I meet him.
