Responding to Aislynn Sherry's Campaigns

Which campaign do you think is more successful? Or will be more successful? Do you think these ads are useful and preventative at all? 


There was a national campaign which talked about not doing drugs and staying away from doing bad things. Then the MTV add which presents Not wasted weekend. In my opinion MTV campaigns is more successful because its watched by many teenagers and doing something like this will show them the effects that drugs are bad.  These ads are very useful because there are all kinds of teens that see and it doesn't hurt to reinforce this issue. Many teenagers want to party but MTV can help them find better trends to do and get into. 
The national campaign is also a good preventive measure and it covers more area and can help deter many teens from partying and doing bad decisions. 


In my final decision MTV is the better campaign because it focuses on a still large area of teens that may be focused to more dangerous entertainment. 

Much snow this winter?

Many who rely on snow removal are hurting financially this winter season. Last winter there was so much snow and they couldn't keep up in the removal process. But this is not the case this winter. Even though many stocked up ready for a winter and ready to turn over profits and sell stock. One hardware owner which is a friend of mine stocked up his hardware store full of inventory he spent a $100,000. But now as March rolls around he has to cut back profits and try to mark down the items and turn them over, or stock them away and take away from another area of spring inventory. One man states “It’s probably going to take us a few more seasons to recoup some of our investments,” This is a huge burden for many business owners in New Hampshire and the northern regions. If you were a hardware store owner would you stock heavily before winter started? Or any season or wait for that season to start before you order huge inventories?
