Pushing on, let us put Motivational factors to rest and move to Product Positioning and image/branding.
Let us start by covering "What is your image/brand?"
What is it you say? Let us learn here.
So knowing a bit more of the terms, is a brand what you say? or is a brand what they say?
Tha positioning aspect is the "making room" in the hearts and monds of the people. As I once read, positioning is the foundation of the brand, but it isn't the brand itself. Positioning allows for the individual, group, village, culture to fill in the vacancy/vacuum with what they know or are told. It allows the company to "start anew" to reach the preference and action levels of motivation.

A short story in Price Anchoring...Culture anchoring. Cultural bias - what is it?
A preface of what we buy and why.
Are we ethical? We have been through the writings of ourselves, talked incessantly about our decisions and where we think we are as a human being and of our place in this world. Today I wish to change even that fabric of reality. The only thing I ask is that you are open to this new idea.
We will begin our day with a little video. Though linked here, allow me to illustrate it on the big screen. - Dan Ariely - Our Buggy Moral Code {16 min}
Take away?
Once more we visit with Dan Ariely in his discussion of our Consumer Buying Decisions. Do we really make up our own minds? or do we allow other to essentially make our minds up for us, especially with harder decisions? This sense of "preference" is something that for common place things/known things we have. But what if we move you past the mundane and take you to a decision you have never made? What will you choose? This small tidbit should show us.
And taking this further, allow us then to talk about self deception...truly the hallmark of our own psyche. All of this through the power of performance and a bit of magic.

- Today you get a movie as promised, but as stated below, it is my choice of a movie.
- Welcome to Food, Inc, a delightful movie outlining the processing of our entire food system.
- SEM, pay careful attention to the elements of an event. Expand your understanding that virtually anything can be considered an event.
- HSM, think back to chapter pasts where we discussed Environmental Scanning. In that chaptwer, we discussed there are governmental forces out there dictating what and how we can alter the marekting mix or what affects the implimentation of our marketing mix on the environment/market at hand. This movie should show forth some real truths of how we are all manipulated into thinking certain ideals about some of the most basic commodities....food.
- Enjoy!
Week Update - Wednesday Personal Finance Continued
- you should have worked through the Personal Finance (Virtual Business) at the very least Lesson #1. If you did not get to finish, there may be time after the video to do it then. Please do not be ignorant and a bit stupid as to do it through the video.
- Today you will be watching The Secret Life of the Credit Card. What is more liberating than to immediately gratify yourself by using "plastic" to get what you want. This, in no small part, was a deciding factor to the overall housing crisis we experienced and still are experiencing. More to come off of that.
- Concerning the video - The Secret Life of the Credit Card
Your student ID # (lunch number) will guide you to the appropriate question.
Find the 5th number of your Student #. If 1-5, you have your question #.
If 6-9, subtract 5 and there is your number - Video itself - don't worry, it will be shown up on the board. The link is provided if you feel gumption to look at it later at home.
- Questions as you go - click hereBe prepared to give account as to the answer of assigned question.
- Explore this companion site. Read over the answers to better understand what the credit cards have done
- Cultural Divide - How other countries handle their consumer debt.
- If there is time after you watch the video, do the "Questions as you go", explore the companion site, and read the Cultural Divide - then you may go finish your lesson #1/ Lesson #2. If you have to stop before finished, you can save the game at that time. There is the Lesson #1 (or 2,3,4 etc) online when you open up the lesson itself. You read through the tutorial, you can find it. remember that this still counts as a grade for the time I cannot be with you.

So what about the real economic impact of an event.
Seeing that it is Halloween (bwah ah ah ha h ah ah ha ha - Thunder/lightening), I want to know the economic impact of Halloween. Clearly there must be economic justification to themadness we endure every year.
In fact, while we are on this subject, What was the economic impact of the Furniture market to our city/region?

Welcome in to a wonderful day. Hopefully Tennis will begin today and the Conference matches will complete with the SW ladies coming out victoriously in the end.
As in everyday I cannot make it with you, therein lies a contract, an agreement concerning my expectations for the day on your behalf.
Play nicely with the activity I left you and be rewarded...a bonus quiz, test, etc.
Play poorly and there will be dire consequences.
If the teacher has to put your name down on paper or talk with me concerning your behavior upon my return, Mr Murphy will be none too happy. Neither will you when I see you next. Be what I know each of you can be, the success I know you are today.
HSM
So as not to burn time off of our already short semester together, in my absence, on my birthday, I left you an assessment as I have promised. Your half or front sheet in hand, you should have no problem working through the material presented.
Upon half way through, you should begin to wonder why you didn't read the material, instead, took the easy way out by cramming and copying another person's notes. Oh well!
In my absence, today will also have it reward. You will be rewarded for doing well today and not disturbing the powers that be.
As always, have fun.

The Latest Decalogue
Thou shalt have one God only; who
Would be at the expense of two?
No graven images may be
Worshipped, except the currency;
Swear not at all: for, for thy curse
Thine enemy is none the worse;
At church on sunday to attend
Will serve to keep the world thy friend;
Honour thy parents; that is, all
From whom advancement may befall;
Thou shalt not kill; but need'st not strive
Officiously to keep alive:
Do not adultery commit;
Advantage rarely comes of it;
Thou shalt not steal; an empty feat,
When it's so lucrative to cheat;
Bear not false witness; let the lie
Have time to on its own wings to fly:
Thou shalt not covet, but tradition
Approves all forms all forms of competition.

Quotables:
History will see advertising "as one of the real evil things of our time. It is stimulating people constantly to want things, want this, want that."
~Malcolm Muggeridge, quoted in Eric Clark, The Want Makers: Inside the World of Advertising, 1988
First we thought the PC was a calculator. Then we found out how to turn numbers into letters with ASCII - and we thought it was a typewriter. Then we discovered graphics, and we thought it was a television. With the World Wide Web, we've realized it's a brochure.
~Douglas Adams
SEMII
Your first Test now in the books, let us turn ahead to things unlearned.
1/ For the Last objective, though the knowledge of an organizational chart was needed, the ability of creating one was not. As a stretch exercise, you are to create one for the CTE Department including the Principals (AP's too) as well as support staff. Make sure your Organizational chart depicts reporting structures and hierarchy.
2/ Article review and timed write. 100 words concerning the article please...20 minutes.
3/ Break out Obj 3 if time.
HSM
We have begun the journey of our own selves by discussing the finer points or Morals, ethics and standards. We have also seen thhe emergence of ethics in the workplace (code of ethics)simple because people, if left to their own devices, cannot be trusted implicitly.
We now journey past the initial value systems we have and into the heart of the matter of what it is that ultimately guides (decides) our buying behavior.
We understand that the 4 P's of marketing is the only thing that we as Marketers can ever change to get the Target Market to want...desire...act upon in the form of "buying" (ideas or products).
Now we get to explore more in depth as to the buying decisions that ultimately lead us to perceive the image we have of ourselves and of others.

One of my mottos is this: Stupidity should be punished. What was their punishment? Was it just?

5/19 The countdown continues
Quotable:
“It is not the critic who counts; not the man who points out how the strong man stumbles, or where the doer of deeds could have done them better. The credit belongs to the man who is actually in the arena, whose face is marred by dust and sweat and blood, who strives valiantly; who errs and comes short again and again; because there is not effort without error and shortcomings; but who does actually strive to do the deed; who knows the great enthusiasm, the great devotion, who spends himself in a worthy cause, who at the best knows in the end the triumph of high achievement and who at the worst, if he fails, at least he fails while daring greatly. So that his place shall never be with those cold and timid souls who know neither victory nor defeat.”
Theodore Roosevelt

Procrastination is opportunity's assassin. ~Victor Kiam
1/ Where did Piss Poor come from?
Interesting History
They used to use urine to tan animal skins, so families used to all pee in a pot
& then once a day it was taken & sold to the tannery.
If you had to do this to survive, you were "Piss Poor."
But worse than that were the really poor folk
who couldn't even afford to buy a pot.
They "didn't have a pot to piss in" & were the lowest of the low.
The next time you are washing your hands and complain
because the water temperature isn't just how you like it,
think about how things used to be.
Here are some facts about the 1500s:
Most people got married in June
because they took their yearly bath in May
and they still smelled pretty good by June.
However, since they were starting to smell,
Brides carried a bouquet of flowers to hide the body odor.
Hence the custom today of carrying a bouquet
when getting Married.
Baths consisted of a big tub filled with hot water.
The man of the house had the privilege of nice clean water,
then all the other sons and men,
then the women and finally the children.
Last of all the babies.
By then, the water was so dirty
that you could actually lose someone in it.
Hence the saying, "Don't throw the baby out with the Bath water!"
Houses had thatched roofs-thick straw-piled high
with no wood underneath.
It was the only place for animals to get warm
so all the cats and other small animals (mice, bugs)
lived in the roof.
When it rained, it became slippery
and sometimes the animals would slip and fall off the roof.
Hence the saying, "It's raining cats and dogs."
There was nothing to stop things from falling into the house.
This posed a real problem in the bedroom
where bugs and other droppings
could mess up your nice clean bed.
Hence, a bed with big posts and a sheet hung over the top
afforded some protection.
That's how canopy beds came into existence.
The floor was dirt.
Only the wealthy had something other than dirt.
Hence the saying, "Dirt poor."
The wealthy had slate floors
that would get slippery in the winter when wet,
so they spread thresh (straw) on the floor
to help keep their footing.
As the winter wore on, they added more thresh
until when you opened the door,
it would all start slipping outside.
A piece of wood was placed in the entrance-way.
Hence: a thresh hold.
(Getting quite an education, aren't you?)
In those old days,
they cooked in the kitchen with a big kettle
that always hung over the fire.
Every day, they lit the fire and added things to the pot.
They ate mostly vegetables and did not get much meat.
They would eat the stew for dinner,
leaving leftovers in the pot to get cold overnight
and then start over the next day.
Sometimes stew had food in it
that had been there for quite a while.
Hence the rhyme: Peas porridge hot, peas porridge cold,
peas porridge in the pot nine days old.
Sometimes they could obtain pork
which made them feel quite special.
When visitors came over,
they would hang up their bacon to show off.
It was a sign of wealth
that a man could "bring home the bacon."
They would cut off a little to share with guests
and would all sit around and chew the fat.
Those with money had plates made of pewter.
Food with high acid content
caused some of the lead to leach onto the food
causing lead poisoning death.
This happened most often with tomatoes,
so for the next 400 years or so,
tomatoes were considered poisonous.
Bread was divided according to status.
Workers got the burnt bottom of the loaf,
the family got the middle, and guests got the top, or the upper crust.
Lead cups were used to drink ale or whisky.
The combination would Sometimes knock the imbibers out
for a couple of days.
Someone walking along the road would take them for dead
and prepare them for burial
They were laid out on the kitchen table for a couple of days
and the family would gather around and eat and drink
and wait and see if they would wake up.
Hence the custom of holding a wake.
England is old and small and the local folks
started running out of places to bury people.
So they would dig up coffins
and would take the bones to a bone-house
and reuse the grave.
When reopening these coffins,
1 out of 25 coffins
were found to have scratch marks on the inside
and they realized they had been burying people alive.
So they would tie a string on the wrist of the corpse,
lead it through the coffin and up through the ground
and tie it to a bell.
Someone would have to sit out in the graveyard
all night (the graveyard shift) to listen for the bell;
thus, someone could be saved by the bell
or was considered a dead ringer.

5/5 Alex's birthday tomorrow
Quotables:
Increasing inequality in income distribution in this country has broader policy implications, and there is also the growing problem of perverse incentives that result from executives receiving grossly disproportionate compensation based on decisions they themselves take.
Barney Frank
All legislative experiments in the way of making forcible distribution of the wealth produced in any country have failed.
Leland Stanford
Pre Activity
Click on Walmart tab in the news area above this posting. I will guide you from there.
1/ I need you to find from Objective 2, the definition of Place utility.
We are going to jump in and do 7.01...maybe 7.02 as time allows.
Obj 7 takes us through Distribution, ultimately, and in my mind, the most critical of all of the functions/4Ps of marketing. Without this special utility, nothing would get sold in a broad market sense.
I hope you enjoy today's lesson.
Murphy

All legislative experiments in the way of making forcible distribution of the wealth produced in any country have failed.

Pre Activity
Click on Walmart tab in the news area above this posting. I will guide you from there.
1/ I need you to find from Objective 2, the definition of Place utility.
We are going to jump in and do 7.01...maybe 7.02 as time allows.
Obj 7 takes us through Distribution, ultimately, and in my mind, the most critical of all of the functions/4Ps of marketing. Without this special utility, nothing would get sold in a broad market sense.
I hope you enjoy today's lesson.

4/28 Thursday, and Friday is still an eternity away
Quotables:
“Things may come to those who wait, but only the things left by those who hustle.”
Abraham Lincoln
We are going to create a voki today. In fact, two vokis. Time: approx 30.
If you finish with time to spare, no games please, work on a better voki...possibly one to email/text to someone to ask them out, to complement them, to tell mum and dad how much you love them.
The first one you will create can be fanciful, fun, pragmatic, whatever.
What to write/record/import? Your choice here. More of a getting to understand the power of Voki.
The second one will need to resemble you in hair, eye color, gender, clothing styles, and hopefully - expression.
You then need to either record your own voice, import a file, or text to talk option to give your voki voice.
The subject of this one shall be a small script of who you are, what grade (denote as Freshman...senior, etc), the year and most importantly, what is your brand. No, not what brand do you buy, but rather, what do you expose as your brand. What makes you, well, you. This may take a bit extra time.
Clearly, I need your voki twin url emailed to be.
Challenge: Create one worthy enough to post on Facebook.
Two fold - (1) create an iconic mini-u
(2) see how long it takes for others to copy your lead and do one as well. Ahhhhh, the power of promotion...inform, persuade, remind.
Second today:
I will call time and we will begin part two!
