Last Blog for Class

The semester has come to an end, which means this is the blog I have to write. After taking RCS 362, it has opened my eyes to the marketing world. I notice advertisments everywhere now and how successful I think they may be. When I watch TV I dont just flip to ignore the commercials, I actually pay attention to the commercials. I now have favorite commercials that I think the retailer or whom ever did it, did an amazing job. Of course I also notice those commercials where you sit there and you think what the heck where they thinking? When I go into a public restroom I now take a noticing to the bathroom advertising. When I'm driving around I see the billboards I normally wouldn't even think twice about. It's crazy what one class will get you seeing! I've enjoyed the discussion in this class and have definetly gained something from this class!

Thank you!

Holiday Commercial

Commercials around the holidays are always so unique and entertaining. I thought about this recently when I have been sitting around watching TV and seeing all the new christmas commercials. Mainly they are store advertisements, but thats when they really come out with good ideas. Maybe I am partial to the christmas themed commercials because I love christmas time. My personal favorites this year are the macy's commercial and the jcpenny commercial.

Macy's Commercial


The Macy's commercial is different from their competitors because they showcase all the brands they sell by using the designers in there commercials. The interaction between them is awesome.

The JCPenny Commercial I like because of the song. It is a very catchy song which i like about commercials. Also the storyline of the commercial is sweet because each person loses a gift, but then magically is given a new, better gift that they love and of course the new gift you can find at JCPenny!
