Laughable Shows

My magazine named Laughable Shows is a fun magazine that features 10 of the televisions funniest tv shows! These shows include; Impractical Jokers, Big Bang Theory, Americas Funniest Home Videos, Family Guy, Friends, Modern Family, Boy Meets World, Awkward, That 70's Show, and The Simpsons. The target market in general for this magazine is teens and young adults.  

Promotions

1. Ways to promote The Tusk:
-Advertising; ads of The Tusk in magazines featured in all stores and halls around Tufts Campus.
-Direct marketing; emails will be sent with coupons included to all students and faculty members of Tufts.
-Sales Promotion; At all of the University's large events, Tufts very own mascot Jumbo will be handing out free samples of all 5 flavors of The Tusk.

2. It was interesting to learn how to use the various types of print media to help promote my drink. For example I could pay to have The Tusk featured in the ads of the schools newspaper, which will advertise my product to a variety  of students. Also I could create a number of catchy flyers and hang them on all the bulletin boards around Tufts. The flyers will be seen by residents of Medford, students, faculty members, visitors, and everyone else who walks around Medford and Somerville, which will really help spread the word on The Tusk. I'll make sure to put the flyers around Fletcher field because many opposing teams come to compete and they will want a good sports drink.

3. I reasonably priced my 20 oz bottle at $2.50 and my 12 oz bottle at $1.00. The strategy I used to price my product, included comparing prices to other good sports drinks and then coming up with two different sizes. I priced The Tusk at a fair price compared to other similar products, it is actually more affordable and it has more flavors. I think  my strategy of pricing the product low will increase the sales of The Tusk.

I overall liked this project, the things I liked included:
1. The options for originality and creativity.
2. The informational but fun type of assignment.
3.The fact that we actually made the prototype of our creation.

I learned a couple of things, they were:
1. How to create a marketing mix and apply information to it.
2. I also learned how important it is to do research prior to
creating a product, so you know who the target market is.

One thing I didn't like about this project:
I didn't like that you had to be artistic, because I am not a very good artist.

Advertisements for 1st Talking Movie

The movie Jazz Singer was the first talking movie, released in 1927.  Warners' risky investment of a half million dollars with the brand new Vitaphone sound system which brought profits of $3.5 million in at the box-office.  The movie Jazz Singer advertised by the spread of mouth and  in the being the first talking movie, so the target market was very interested in seeing and experiencing this new kind of film. Also Jolson, America's most popular singer was in the movie so that triggered the audience to want to watch the movie. It may have been advertised by signs on the theaters and around town, maybe on the radio also.  Other possible advertisements includes adds of the Jazz Singer in the newspaper and in store windows
