Today was the last day of class. I'm graduating in Interior Design, but if I ever go back to school for a graduate degree, I think I'll go into marketing. Everything is affected by Marketing. It is an interesting study of people, places, and the whys of our everyday world.

Week 11

Promotion- communication by marketers that informs, persuades, and reminds potential buyers of a product in order to influence their opinion or elicit a response.


Promotions come in many forms, whether tangible or electronic, but the point is to find a way to get the point across that your product is desirable and worth while.

Week 9

Developing and Managing Products-------> Such as Aggie Gear at the USU bookstore



Our amazing professor decided that we can also learn outside of class, and enjoy the chance to see our USU Aggies compete in March Madness!!! Definitely a good use of time.

And I was still able to learn that there are important steps in developing and marketing new products. From developing a good idea, to test marketing and introduction. It is important to pay attention to what stage of the product life cycle you are in, and to promote it accordingly...

Like trying to sell NCAA Championship T-shirts before anyone has played...

Week 8

------TOP SECRET-------
Well, not really. But I learned
that success on the midterm
depends on your memory of
what we read, and what is
discussed in class. So if you
want to do well... highlight key
discussion points in your textbook
for easy reference. Note to self: take
better notes for the final.
