Kraft Attempting to Rebrand International Image responding to Chris Belands

Its amazing to see how Kraft is wanting to change its international name after all these years. Its in every house hold around the world. There know for the Mac and Cheese made in seconds. I'm not exactly proud of them changing there name, you say Kraft and everyone knows exactly what your talking about. MAC AND CHEESE. So I think that its going to be hard for many people around the world to move to another name that is as common as Kraft. I don't think its going to work.

In these hard economic times many small businesses have closed there doors, and the ones that can remain open are pulling together to try and gain "A local movement" Many are trying to get everyday shoppers away from the chain stores, where the lower prices and connivence are key. Would you shop Locally in Keene? Do you already?http://www.nuwireinvestor.com/articles/buy-local-movement-gains-traction-58355.aspx

Responding to Aislynn Sherry's ESPN for women.

I think ESPNW is hitting the right age, 25 +. This  is a good start it will be a growing trend as more and more women get into watching this channel. Over time there will be more, or even a separate channel for women sports. Its a great idea in my opinion it will have a lot of progress as sponsors get into it and make the channel stronger. Its good. Im surprised this didn't happen sooner.

Nissan looks at Target Market for new Datsun brand.

Nissan is revamping the Datsun brand under Nissan, they are up against intense competition with other Japanese motor companies such as Honda and Toyota. The New Datsun models will be tailored to people as stated "The offerings will be tailored for each market, including price and engine size, targeting the burgeoning market of first-time car buyers in countries such as India, Indonesia and Russia, where Datsun will be introduced from 2014, he said". So they are looking to brake into other markets and sell an affordable car for the first time car buyer in other countries. It seems be a great idea. Datsun was around the United States for a while in the 1960's until they changed the name and became Nissan. Nissan is a striving brand over here in the United States today. The Target market for Nissan is the younger traveling families whether they like a SUV, Van, Truck or cross over it satisfies all types. The Nissan Leaf is for those who want to conserve also. So Nissan and its sub brand Datsun have covered alot of ground over the years and plan to cover even more in other countries under Datsun. Would you buy a Nissan? Do you like the models they offer?  Are you part of there target market? 

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?
