Pitch


Week 7 EOC: The Pitch

Many families in Las Vegas are struggling with providing food on the table. Having a food drive would be a great thing to help out the families in the Las Vegas valley. With some research i did online i found a company that helps to organize food drives around your local area. The organization is Move for Hunger their website MoveForHunger.org helps you to organize a food drive. I plan to hold it at Meadows Mall a public plave where plenty of people go everyday put out the word that anybody can donate at there. Use the help of radio to promote the food drive, create flyers. We would take donations from canned goods to water, drinks, breads, meats any food item that could help feed somebody else. Every bit of the food will go into food baskets that would be given to families. If possible we can have grocery stores donate some stuff as well.

Week 6 EOC: Me X3
One personal item that I recently purchased was a skin cover for my phone from the company Skinit. It’s an online company that offers a variety of skins for different electronic items. While browsing online I found the perfect item for my phone which featured a skin of my favorite sports team the San Francisco 49ers. I like that there is abundance of different teams and different themes to choose from. It really gives the feeling of customization. “Dividing a market into smaller segments with distinct needs, characteristics, or behavior that might require separate marketing strategies or mixes” (Marketing an Introduction p.175). Another personal item of mine that I love is cologne that my best friend gave to me as a present. It really defines who I am because I’m always wearing it and most people recognize me by that certain scent. The cologne is called Usher. I enjoy it the most out of all the other colognes that I own. The scent is great not to strong yet very subtle. This is a good example of gender segmentation because the focus is on a guy wanting to smell good. “Dividing a market into different segments based on gender.( Marketing an Introduction p178). A final item that I purchased that I highly treasure would be my cell phone. In the ongoing battle between Apple and Samsung I sided with Samsung and purchased the Samsung galaxy s2. I just love my phone I would be so lost without it. It has many useful features that I enjoy such and navigation music and there are plenty of apps on the android market to choose from as well. I believe this phone was marketed towards people around my same age range which is a good example of age segregation.” Dividing a market into different age and life-cycle groups.” (Marketing an Introduction p178)
