Advertising vs. Marketing

What is the difference between advertising and marketing?
"Advertising is happiness." John Draper, from television show, Mad Men!
Advertising and marketing are often mixed up. Most people think they are the same thing. They generally have the same effect. Well I am sorry their wrong. Advertising has been around, before marketing, but this doesn’t mean it has less importance. They are both important in the line of work you desire. Some consider advertising as one of the components of marketing. Marketing is the research you must do once you develop a product. Marketer care about the consumers wants and needs. Taking in consideration what you want. Advertising is selling a product. Advertising just appeals to your ID. Their goal is to sell as many of that product as possible! Here are some definitions of both.
Advertising: The paid, public, non-personal announcement of a persuasive message by an identified sponsor; the non-personal presentation or promotion by a firm of its products to its existing and potential customers. (By Laura Lake)

The Strong Dollar

Should Americans have a strong dollar or a weak dollar? Why did you make that choice,what will happen why or why not?

I think America should have an average dollar. Because either way we go its a lose lose situation. If we have a strong dollar less people will use American exports. Which in the end will hurt us. They will go to cheaper countries for there needs. If we have a weak dollar than it will be worth next to nothing. The exchange rate will benefit other countries, but our own. We as Americans we strive to be the best. We want to be the strongest and most powerful country of all. So if our dollar is to strong or even to weak, I think this will make what we strive for everyday less meaningful. Our beliefs as Americans will not mean the same. So if theres any way to have an American dollar an average dollar, I think our country would benefit from that the most. Sice America soley depends on exports for it's profit for our countries money. We need to have an average dollar. Having a strong dollar also effcts the average man, He wait I am the average man. How will this effect me? This means things will become more expensive for me. Already in the hard ressesion we all have taken cut-backs. We don't need anymore things keeping us from serviving daily! Even having a weak dollar effects the average man. If our dollar is worth less, then our wages will be less. The companies you work for will be making less money, so your wages will become less. The companies can't pay you the same if thier not making any money! This is why I thnk our dollar should be average. Not STRONG or WEAK!So ask your self the same question! What do you perfur?

Shopping Experiance

A good experiance I have had was a couple moths ago. I was at journey's shoe store. I walked in and was greeted . I was asked if there was anything I was looking for? I said,"Just looking around." The second I was ready to look at some stuff, and try on shoes they were there. There was a pare of shoes that they did not have my size in. you would think thats when my good experiance went bad, but no. They asked if I would like them to order them and have them mailed to my house. I said no I don't really need them. It was just the extra going out of thier way for me, really made me feel special.

A bad experiance was actually them same day as I went into journey's shoe store. The following store i went into was Forever 21. Usally you don't get completely horrible, but not the best service.I was looking around for 20 mins and none of the employees had greeted me. I was in such a great mood from the perivous store I was in, so that wasn't going to bother me! I went to check out I was waiting for about 10 mins for someone to come to the cashwrap, and there was at least 9 girls working. Than someone came and they got another person to check me out. Finally they decided who was going to check me out. Then the girl was so rude.I almost walked out of the store just how rude she was. I really wanted the clothing I had picked out, so I didnt walk out. I will say I have not been in forever21 since than because of that experiance!

About me draft

Hello my name is Brittany Knyszek. I am a fashion designer. I am in love with Southern California fashion. Everything that has to-do with Southern California I LOVE, the beach, the sun, the rain, the desert, the hole atmosphere. From the skater, surfers, to the dirt bike riders, to the kid who is just unsure, who wants to look nice. I get my inspiration from all of these aspects. I understand that everyone has their own style. I design my cloths with all of these factors in mind. I have two clothing lines in process, one for young woman. The ages of thirteen to twenty-two. The second line is baby clothing. I always see the same generic clothing on children I want to change that. I think every baby and toddiler has its own personality. I want to express that. They should not dress the same because they are not the same person. Regardless of age. I am taking woman’s motocross fashion to actual fashion. Girls are just as equal as boys, but why do there sporting cloths have to look the same? I am going to make things more stylish to ware. With Bmk Fashions my goal is set on personality and how everyone has his or her own. I will utilize their personalities into my clothing!
