Starburry shoes

Starburry wanted to design a shoe that was affordable to everyone, he made a shoe that was equal, if not better than the leading competition. He as a child struggled to buy shoes that he wanted, he lived in poverty and did not have enough money to spend. His sho is about the same design al Michael Jordan's design, the only reason peoply buy the more expensive shoe is because the packaging attracts the consumer and they feel like they're getting their money's worth.

Nike has this focus group to understand the soccer players and their likes and dislikes. They do this so they can see what products will sell for more and which products will sell for less. Understanding what is good for the players is good for the company and the consumers. This is good for the reason that the products will sell faster.

Distribution Excersize


Today in our marketing class, we learned about distribution. We learned how there are many factors that take place during distribution, like: planning on how to distribute the product, making sure we didn't lose any of it. We made a plan to make a cup out of the napkin and to spoon all of the salt in the ''cup''. For the water, at first, we decided to hold the water in the straw and send it over to the other warehouse, but then we started to drink the water and hold it in my mouth, then distribute it in the other cup. These methods are important to satisfy the customers and to ensure the quality of the product on the way to the customer.

About me...

My name is Joshua, I go by Josh.

I am very interested in to technology, mostly the networking side.

I would mos excel in a Math class, since it is my favorite subject. Some of my strengths are that I am a fast learner, and am skilled in computers, a weakness of mine would be that I am at times clumsy.

I don't usually study for tests, but when I do, I usually do it on the internet like on Youtube or Wikipedia.

What I would like to learn most in this class would be all of the Web 2.0 technologies, things I have not yet found out yet. I think our work should be divided individually as a team, if one person does not help the team out, they should be at fault. If someone works hard, they should be rewarded.

I would be a great team member by helping out with the Microsoft documents, since I took BCIS and I understand them very well.
