The higher profit margins allow the firm to follow through and solidify its position. The product should be in a new category that does not compete directly with the leader and should be the first to target the segment. It necessitates that one has to treat business like warfare, and that collective growth is impossible. Mediocre tactics usually are sufficient for a good strategy.

  • Types of Media Options
    Types of Media Options Print Media: Newspapers and Magazines Magazines and newspapers are an important part of our lives. For many consumers, newspapers are their primary source of product information. They would not think of going shopping without checking to see who is having a sale or clipping coupons from the weekly food section or Sunday inserts. Many people read a number of different magazines each week or month to become better informed, or simply entertained. Individuals employed in various occupations rely on business magazines to keep them updated about trends and developments in their industries as well as in business in general. While most of us are excessively involved with the print media, it is important to keep in mind that only few newspapers or magazines could survive without the support of advertising revenue. The Role of Newspapers and Magazines The role of newspapers and magazines in the advertiser’s media differs from that of the broadcast media because they allow the presentation of detailed information that can be processed at the reader’s own pace. The print media are not intrusive, like radio and TV, and they generally require some effort on the part of the reader for the advertising message to have an impact. For this reason, newspapers and magazines are often referred to as “high involvement media”. Newspapers are received in nearly two-thirds of Indian households daily. Most magazines, however, reach a very selective audience. Like radio, they can be valuable in reaching specific types of consumers and market segments. While both magazines and newspapers are print media, the advantages and disadvantages of the two are quite different, as are the types of advertising each attracts.

  • Shopping the Shopper: Predictable Performances and Retail Surveillance
    Liminalities: A Journal of Performance Studies Vol. 7, No. 2, 2011 Shopping the Shopper: Predictable Performances and Retail Surveillance W. Benjamin Myers This essay seeks to understand how retail surveillance in general, and mystery shopping in particular, works to influence performances of consumerism. Using the work of ritual, performance and surveillance scholars, this essay argues that this surveillance works to create performances of predictability that ensure maximum consumption. This predictability works to discipline consumers and employees in the consumption process. Finally, this essay explores how this retail surveillance can be responded to in ways that work to allow for creative consumer performances within a space that works to stifle that complexity. Starting this story with the phrase, “I watched her with great interest,” seems as if I might be invoking a bit more than what I will ultimately provide for you as a reader, “I watched her with great interest” makes it seem as if we might be about to begin a love story, and this is no love story, at least not a conventional one. In the broadest of strokes you might be able to make the case that this is a love story about the fascination that comes from watching people who do not know they are being watched, but the principals do not “end up together” at the end of this story. The watcher and the watched are instead destined to be in a relationship that lacks intimacy, because secrets are not conducive to relationships. Meaningful connections require honesty and understanding. The central relationship in this story (between the watcher and the watched) is instead built on manipulation and a profound distrust.

It is, however, typical of its time and very likely made perfect sense to its original audience. In the 1930s, in the middle of the Great Depres- sion, anxiety about losing one’s husband—and thus one’s economic well-being—to divorce was not unfounded. Targeted to a new generation of stay-at-home housewives anxious about their exclusion from the modern world of their hus- bands, during a period when losing one’s source of income could mean abject poverty or worse, in a society where daily bathing was still rare but where self-doubt about personal hygiene was on the rise, such an ad may have pushed just the right buttons.
