ACE

While watching the show Cake Boss there was a commercial of a man in his neighborhood gathering them all together to get their to do lists done.  He talks quickly how ACE will help those to do lists become done with the help of ACE.  The ACE store comes in to the picture and it shows how quick and cheap the prodcuts are there in order to get your to do lists done.  Many adults and people that own homes will be watching this show and it makes sense for ACE to have a commercial on during this time.  Drawing the attention of homeowners and people of the right age to ACE will help them draw more customers to ACE.  While our economy is struggling still, does it matter if ACE advertises a lot considering tuning up your house if a want than a need?

In response to Erik's Stumble Upon

I have heard of Stumble Upon but never visited the website until I read the blog on Erik's page.  Stumble Upon seems like a pretty cool website considering it is almost customized towards you.  By checking off your interests and likes it will bring up articles or websites that are directed towards your likes.  I can see where Stumble Upon would be a little bit better than a earh engine since it brings up websites that you don't even have to search for, just click your likes.  While checking out Stumble Upon it caught my eye since there are many interests you can check off that will bring up websites that might catch your attention.  The world wide web is so big nowadays that there are plenty of websites that people would be interested in but just have't discovered yet since there are billions of websites, but with the help of stumble upon people will find these websites.

TD Bank

While watching television around 5 p.m. this week there was a commercial about TD Bank.  The commercial explained how TD Bank was the most convenient bank available to customers.  Along with it being the most convenient bank they explain that you only need to have $100 in your banking account.  Right now banks are probably struggling to get more business since the economy is down still.  It made sense to me that this banking commercial would be on at about 5:30 at night.  The reason why this makes sense to me is because they are trying to advertise towards the people who are just coming home from work that actually utilize banks a lot more than the people not working.  TD Bank along with other banking commercials show how good their banks are and how low their rates are.  Do you think it makes a difference of how much advertising a bank does in order to attract more customers?

In response to Dan Bayrouty's post on Sun Drop

After reading Dan's post about Sun Drop soda, I believe it will not really impact the soda market.  The reason behind this is because as Dan said the soda compnay had been around since 1949 and he thought it was a new soda company.  Sometimes these soda companies will be more popular in different parts of the country.  I also believe it is difficult for a new soda company to make an impact in the soda market since it is mainly dominated by Coca Cola.  A soda that is as popular as Mountrain Dew or Pepsi is not as popular as Coke and they are really thriving in the soda market.  A market that has been overpowered by Coca Cola for so long makes it much more difficult for other companies to make an impact.
