In response to Jade Brulotte's post: Companies Success Online

Do you agree, or think that the company will stay successful because they are so strictly online-based?

I agree with Jade that the a company can be successful as a strictly online company or a physical place that you can go to. I agreed with her statement that online shopping now a days is so convenient for people with busy lifestyles to buy stuff. Our society is being more and more busy that we are having less time to do things so I feel that online shopping will keep growing bigger as our lives get busier. For certain things like grocery shopping is easier to do in person or cloths shopping because it is nice to see things in person than a picture on a screen and it is nice to make sure it fits right. It is a hassle  to have to return something that you order online.

What do you think the pros and cons are to buying items online?

Dr. Pepper Snapple Group's

The Dr. Pepper Snapple Group has many promotions for most of their brand names. The most popular ones like Dr. Pepper and Sunkist have pretty big promotion giveaways. This is all apart of their strategy of marketing. I think this strategy is very successful in selling their products. People will drink these products to collect enough caps to get free stuff or enter a chance to win a promotion giveaway. People like to know that they can win something or get something for free. This is a smart way because something about this strategy gets people really excited which gets the customs purchasing more of the product.

Do you think that Dr. Pepper Snapple Group's promotions help the sales of their products and would you be more willing to buy a product that you have a chance to win something?
