Week 3: Money For Good

 Previously before researching my post, I didn't know many companies that actually gave back to the community or use their profits as donations. Project 7 sells gum, snacks and clothing. Each product sold the donations are used for meals and providing education. One popular brand known for giving back is TOMS. It is the biggest one for one companies in America. The canvas shoes are design to sell eyeglasses and provide shoes for the need. Not to mention, about a month ago I purchase new pair of glasses from Warby Parker. Considering the fact that I love my frames and that Warby Parker donates a pair of glasses to non profits throughout the world. As well as training is provided to locals to give eye exams. That's amazing and it feels good to be a customer of a one for one company. Another great company, started by a 13-year old from Ohio, sells unique candles with scents like “Fresh Cut Grass” The candles are made inside of an actual soup can after the soup inside is donated to a local soup kitchen. Sound like a great gift idea. You’re giving both a uniquely scented candle and the warm-fuzzy feeling of feeding those who need the help. Something that awesome is that if you’re not so into the ManCan scents, the company also makes SheCans. Now that’s off my chest, I view a successful company always need better environment where people not only grow but work with good efficiency goals to helping others and can achieve organizational & personal goals. It hardly matters about the level of company. Companies that have good role model so that more people will appreciate products. Every company become successful because of it employees and society as society adopt its product, so a company should revert to society also as it is a part of society.

Week 2: Boston Consult Group -Video Games

Its various marketing tools that  companies commonly used. But most video games and consoles are updating and changing almost every year. The new specs on newer consoles are crazy nowadays . I remember getting my first nintendo 64 and what i current have in my home . Video gaming has CHANGE major. For an example, about five years ago Xbox 360 bought a motion sensor camera to the market for a more virtual playing scene. Then literally Sony , makers of the playstation added a similar camera that you could also pay with a motion wand. Since i was a little girl , i always peep the competition in the gaming  industry. One brand will make a new product and the competitor HAS to make something better or a product they thought was better. But one thing gamers might not know is that the gaming industry sacrifices short-term profit for long term market share and long term profit.  Nintendo was the console i ever played and the Wii was the first motion sensor gaming console : which by the way did great in the gaming market. Nintendo has always been known for great gaming experience and even better gaming hand helds. Marketing video games can be tricky because every brand wants to be on top but also the customer interest has to take play with new products. Adding better gaming specs would hopefully increase profits but brands must remember must have greater ideas than leading console .

My Voice

I`ll say Im organized and motivated professional photographer with a wide experience in a range of portraiture styles and services, including, commercial photography, Portraiture photography. For the past three years I have been working as a freelance photographer, working on a wide range of projects for advertisers, fashion designers, and individual clients. I have a great deal of experience in retouching, editing and uploading photographs for online publishing, as well as preparing photographs for print production. Prior to freelancing, I attended Art Institute of Charlotte for two years, where I learn a significant amount of photography knowledge. I also photographed various assignments and played a significant role in the redesign of the company website and logo. I pride myself on my ability to make the best of every photo, to be creative and resourceful in my approach and to have an eye for lighting and detail. I am well accustomed to working to tight deadlines, being able to submit work same day. To be honest I don’t really have a VOICE, more so image. I remember being told that an image has a thousand words so when I really decided what I wanted to do for the rest of my life. Well, I told myself I want people to see my work and actually know I feel or can even feel it through the picture. Photography is history to me so everything I have ever took an image of, it’s a memory that I can always look at. Photographing is history and thats awesome. Hoping in future that when people see my work, they know it`s me and can always relate to what i put out there. Its always a good feeling to know strangers basically correlate with your art. 

Week 1 EOC: Great Customer Service

 

                         To be great, you must think great.  

Great customer service is allowing the customer to feel you know about your product. Knowledge about product makes every customer feel safer and determined about purchasing the product. Treating customers with friendly, helpful attitude. Also helping customers efficiently, in the friendliest manner. It’s the one thing that can set your business apart from others is having a one of a kind customer service. A lot of businesses don’t have good customer so they are starting to lack in profit. ANY ONE spending, hard earn dollars probably wants someone nice to give it to. Great business comes with great relationships. As a business owner, photography is all about relationships with your clients. Providing products and services, you want to make sure the customer is receiving the best service possible. Allowing yourself to handle issues for customers and doing you're best to ensure they are satisfied. Now I’m not an expert on great customer service but I do notice that having great attitude in a lot of persuading situations plays out good. Sometimes providing great customer service means rewarding customer loyalty and letting customers know you appreciate their business. A lot of times, we want to feel appreciate by our favorite brands or favorite shopping stores. Ultimately receiving great customer service can be factor into many things. Those things can be the face of the business or a financial suffering for a business. I hope all up and running businesses put having great customer service at the top of their to do list.

 Stay positive always.
