Benefits VS Price

   In marketing there are many techniques that can be used to sell a product. Two common selling points that often have an inverse relationship are Price vs. Benefits. Companies that offer low priced products usually lack the benefits of an expensive product while other companies offer a product that has premium benefits but a steep price tag. This is often seen when a company is trying to sell a car. When Mercedes advertises it focuses on the benefits of the car not the price because and $80,000 price tag tends to take purchase desire away, while on the other hand Kia focuses on price because the benefits of its car are less than that of a Mercedes. Often time’s benefits can justify the premium price for a product but it is usually only after experiencing the benefits that the price of a product seems to be reasonable. My point in all of this is that a company should not focus on price when the price is seemingly ridiculous.

 
   So you may be wondering why I am thinking about this particular aspect of marketing, it may be because we have been studying it in class or it may be because as I was driving down the road I saw a billboard advertising that you could lease a Range Rover for only $999 a month with a large payment due at signing. Seriously Range Rover? I can just see the conversation now, “honey I know we want to purchase a home but I think we should spend the mortgage payment on a new Range Rover because you know what they say, you can sleep in your car but you can’t drive your house.” I know that the majority of people who drive a Range Rover are not deciding between their home or a car but the fact still remains that advertising focused purely on price, when the price is more than most people pay for rent, is a terrible marketing decision. So since Range Rover seems to be having trouble coming up with a proper advertising strategy I have listed some slogans that might be more fruitful for their sales.

-Range Rover, unreliable as hell but it looks good doing it
-Range Rover, The world’s worst off road SUV
-Range Rover, Complete with wine fridge, for when drinking and driving is a must
-Range Rover, for when just keeping up with the Joneses isn’t enough
-Even if you aren’t rich, the people in the next lane will think you are

   Range Rover please feel free to use any of these tag lines in you next campaign. They are my marketing gift to you for free. I don’t claim to be a good marketer but I do know a terrible advertising campaign when I see one.

Sexy Watch Week 3

This week’s sexy watch is brought to you by the cobranded SOS outreach/Sessions jacket. It may cover all my ripping pectorals but it still makes me look sexy as all get out.

My New Diet This Week:
The Broken Heart Diet
Source
- Break up with a Super Betty!
Effect
- Loss of appetite
Pros
- You don’t eat and will feel sick to your stomach which means you will get skinny fast!
Cons
- You are no longer dating a Super Betty
Recommended?
- Of Course not! If you are dating a Super Betty why would you break up with her?

This week I was able to snowboard with the executive director from SOS Outreach; Arn Menconi. We were able to ride at Solitude on Friday with a killer set of bros. It would have been a regular snowboarding workout but someone decided a boot pack would be a great way to get some freshies. It was a good way to get freshies but the 60 minutes hike of continual sinking to my waist made for one caranage climb. Overall though one of the best ride days I have had in a long time, and it didn’t hurt that my goggle tan is starting to come in!

Other than that I was on the hill 4 days this week and I was in the gym 4 days. My upper body it starting to look a little better but my mid-section is still……..well……. everything is everywhere. The broken heart diet is effective (losses of up to 6lbs in 2 days) but my recommendation is to stay off it as much as possible.

Keep checking back and tell your friends to subscribe I’ve got some good projects in the works for your enjoyment.

Sexy Watch Week 2

Thanks to the successful launch of sexy watch last week subscribers to my blog have quadrupled. My goal was for my subscribers to double and that was blown out of the water. Not many people can say they went from 1 to 4 subscribers in just one week!

For those of you who actually care my exercise is going well. I was at the gym 5 days last week, went snowboarding 4 days and even shoveled my driveway which totally counts as a cardio and weight workout! There is only one problem with the gym and that is that there is a Taco Bell in the same parking lot. I try to be good when I am done lifting but unfortunately the tantalizing taste of the new Quad Steak burrito continually calls to me. I mean wow it’s like a whole honkin cow!

Make sure you stay tuned for the release of my first sexy watch workout video featuring the shake weight. I have some new moves and new ideas of how to use the shake weight to maximize your workout!

Dan's Sexy Watch!

Recently as I tried to slide into a pair of my skinny jeans it came to my attention that I have become……fat. I thought maybe they were just snug because they had been put through the dryer recently, but I then remembered that I do not wash my jeans very often and could not blame this snug fit on the dryer.

It all started last year, I hurt myself snowboarding which left me unable to lift weights which led to a little extra fat around my midsection and on my butt. I then hurt my knee several months later which prolonged my gym absence and my portly state was solidified when I hurt my foot at the end of the summer. I now sit here several pounds heavier with many pairs of pants that no longer fit and a gut that makes it hard to see my……….feet.

Now I am not writing in hopes that you will feel bad for me and offer to pay for lipo, which at Sono Bello is now only $995 per area, but instead have decided to add a component to my blog that will hopefully increase my followers from 1 to 3.

I am introducing Dan’s Sexy Watch! If you look at the top right side of my blog page I have posted a “flattering” picture of myself which will be updated weekly so that you can all view the success or failure at my attempt of returning to the gym. I know that many people like to take body improvement pictures with their shirt off and that they may even list their weight, but until I am in a little bit better shape I will be posting shirted pictures of myself for your safety and I won’t be posting my weight for my safety.

Make sure you check back each Monday to view my progress on Dan’s Sexy Watch.

iPadless

I can’t honestly tell you why I want and iPad and I can’t truly think of a reason to justify why I should purchase one but I know that I must have one, which is why when I heard a radio advertisement and the website was “freeipad.com” my internal struggle was laid to rest. The name says it all, FREE iPad!!!! The individuals running this website must be angels! They must know that everyone needs an iPad but that not everyone can afford one and so they are selflessly giving them away so that I can be as happy as everyone who already has an iPad.

Honestly when I heard this radio advertisement instead of running the rest of my errands I went straight home and logged onto freeipad.com so that my new iPad could be rushed to my door and unknown bliss could begin as I used my iPad for all sorts of stuff that I couldn’t possibly imagine. The reason that I couldn’t imagine all of its uses was because I honestly had no idea what to use it for, but I knew that when it arrived at my house all of its mysterious glory would unfold.

Needless to say 3 hours and 15 deals “reserved just for me” I was still iPadless (new word, meaning: The lack of an iPad even though you know you need one). The real tragedy though is the 4 hours I spent the next day canceling all of the “special onetime only offers” that I had signed up for. It was a good thing that I took meticulous notes on all the free crap that will be shortly coming to my house so that I can send it back and not be charged $150 for my new monthly teeth whitening kit or $20 to know that my credit score still sucks.

I would like to share more with you about my devastation due to my continued lack of an iPad at this time but I have to take an important phone call regarding my future with Stevens Henagar college (I may have given out my phone number as well) and check out this website that is giving away free laptops, I heard this website was legit.
