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?

In response to Colin Raaberg's Post: Zip Codes

A company asking for a zip code is just another tool they use to better understand and target their customer. Do you believe that companies should be allowed to ask for zip codes or do you think it should be considered personal information and why?  

I don't consider zip codes as being personal information because it is just broad location where you live. A zip code is probably information a company can use to see what areas are buying their products. This might help the company out to maybe set up warehouses in that area to cut down shipping costs. I think it way more personal if they asked you for your address because they can sent you mail there and they know exactly where you live. I agree with Colin in that I never considered my zip code to be personal information.

What do you think about zip codes being personal information?

Snowmobile Brand Loyalty

I feel like most snowmobilers are diehard fans of one brand of snowmobiles. If the family rides they usually tend to stick to one brand of sleds. I think this is awesome that some snowmobilers stay loyal to their brand. These riders sometimes go all out with there gear as well. They dress from their boots to helmets in all their brands gear. They also buy all the accessories to put on the sled to make their sled different than other peoples. I have been riding on ski doo's all my life. I think this is the best sled because I just like the way they look. I as tricked my sled out a little in ski doo's accessories.

What is your favorite brand of snowmobiles and do you stay loyal to that brand?

In response to Sarah Allen's Post: Consumer Involvement

What level do you think relates most to your consumer involvement?

I feel my involvement is in the interest one. I like to be interested to things thats just my personality. The interest one involvement is directly related to consumer interests, as in cars, music, movies, or electronics. I have many different interests in things and hobbies. I am a big car person so I have a big interest in cars. I know a lot about many different cars now all the brands, and even know features of these cars. I also know a lot about jet skis and snowmobiles. I can tell you how much one of them is going for or how much it is worth with a pretty close guess. 

What are you interested in and do u know a lot about that interest?

College Tuition Price

Will college tuition ever stop increasing? College tuition has been on a steady increase since the 80's. It has rose around 450 percent since then. Do you think it is necessary to charge all the money to go to college? Is it even worth going to college right now? College has become so expensive and it is so hard to find jobs out of college when we have to start paying off the loans. Do you think college tuition is going to hit a point were people will just not go to college any longer because it has become so expensive?

Do you think that college tuition will reach a mark that people will just stop going?
