Hi. I’m doing a fake marketing campaign for the new alice in wonderland movie coming out in march for a high school marketing class. I’m trying to research the demographics and i’m assuming the movie is rated PG. Would you guys think they are targeting older children since the director is Tim Burton?? If I could get some info about how other movies remade by Tim Burton (Charlie and the chocolate factory) targeted their market, that would be great. Thanks.

I would like to learn how to use affiliate marketing to make money. Where and how do I sign up

There are numerous websites on the Internet that offers affiliate marketing courses and are usually renamed "Home Business" or "Work from home opprotunites" but never the less it is still good old fashioned affiliate marketing. When I got into the whole affiliiate marketing world there were so many courses for sale. I actually bought more than I care to admit but they all had one thing in common, it was the same old "how to’s" just packaged with different covers. Affiliate marketing has been around for a long time. But there is a new way of learning this game now. With the invention of screen sharing, that is where usually an IT guy can log onto your computer and see what is wrong with it and fix it for you. The affiliate marketing gang has joined those ranks. Affiliatesitebuilder.net and so far the only one that offers affiliate market training right from your own computer. They can log onto your computer and take you by the hand and not only explain in real time but actually show you how to start affiliate marketing from A to Z.

Even though screen sharing has been around a couple of years
( gotomycomputer.com) and (gotomeeting.com) are the true pioneers. They have started a new version called gotoassist.com and that is the program Affiliatesitebuilder.net is using. It is 100% safe and secure. You sign onto a support site and then you are invited to a LIVE web session. The folks at Affiliate Site Builder take over from there.

A few of my friends have tried it just to see what it was all about. They told me I needed to check it out myself as I am an Affiliate of many products. I was actually inpressed. I acted as though I had no idea what I was doing and they explained everything very professinally and didn’t make me feel like an idiot. They even showed me how to create a website that was just for promoting products.

So if you are new to affiliate marketing and have no idea where to start, affiliate site builder is the first place you shoul start. It is a whole lot easier somebody showing you how to use affiliate marketing rather than trying to figure it on your own.

Oh and yes…I wish I had thought of this first.

www.affiliatesitebuilder.net is the website if you want to learn more. By the way, they even offer a phone number with a live person to talk to. Now there is a twist.

I am horrible in math but I’m interested in a business major, specifically marketing. How much math is involved in marketing and what is the least math intensive business major? Thanks.

There is math in marketing and pretty much every business program. You are mostly looking at statistics. It is important to be able to interpret research results and you need stats to do that. A lot of computer programs can do the work but you still need to understand it so you can apply the results properly to your research. In my program we were required to take stats courses where you unfortunately don’t get to use the computer and have to do calculations by hand. You will also need basic algebra when determining finances and costs for any business program. Probably the least math intensive major would be Human Resources which you don’t need stats (depending on the school) but you still will have to do financial calculations.

I will receive my bachelors in sport management from Ohio University with a minor in business and am looking to find a job in a sport marketing firm primarily in Chicago or a large city. I am interested in working in marketing or sponsorship and want to focus more on business rather than sports if that makes any sense. I am looking to work in the highest paid part of the sports industry but am not quite sure if sports marketing is it. Also, if any one knows any great sport marketing firms please list. Any advice would be greatly appreciated. Thanks!

Im doing a degree in marketing and we were told theres big monry in sports sponsorship, starting at about €50,000 per year!

I have a marketing communications masters degree, but I am finding it hard to get even an interview for graduate roles. Any thoughts.

Hi, I’m lucky enough to have a marketing job – but was struggling as well so I know what you mean! www.marketingzulu.com is pretty good, they’ve got a reccommended job site on there.

In my marketing class, we all have to pick a marketing problem and do research. We have to follow the format on how to conduct the research also. What would be a good topic for me to choose? My topics of interest is finances, future career(s), and sports.

You can do something along the lines of "how do tobacco companies attract new users even though they have a negative consequence?" Also, look at how tobacco companies sponsor the ads that say that tobacco is bad.

Why marketing channel system is so important to a firm?

Marketing is the way a couple positions itself in business. Marketing helps decide which direction it should go in the market place and helps "brand" the company as well as identify the future customers. Many a company have failed because of having no marketing plan or an ineffective one.

I am taking a Marketing Class for fun. And one of our assignments is coming up with product ideas. They can be additions to already invented items, just not reproductions. I am not so great at coming up with ideas…all of mine seem so far fetched and unexplainable in logical terms…any simple suggestions?

1. An application for iPhone or blackberry which allows you to see the person you are talking to on the screen. (Useful for deaf ppl so they can liread instead).

2. An appliance which refills your cup of (drink) when it is empty.. the appliance would have a sensor which knows when the cup is empty. (useful for old/weak disabled people or ppl in hospital when nurses are busy) or for use on your desk at home, on the dinner table where ever.

3. A page-finder for a book.. it fits onto the top of your book and you type in the page number and maybe even the start of the sentence you are looking for and it finds it and a marker points out the exact line.

4. A device for measuring the saturated fat content in food.. you stick it in the middle of the food and it gives a reading. Useful for health conscious and health freaks and people who have to follow a strict diet due to medical problems.

I need to set up a marketing strategy to sell a very durable and reliable desk drawer slide for $8.75 when there is a competitor selling a cheaper less reliable version for only $1.75– obviously my product is better, but how do I stress that to customers and get them to pay this high price?

To market in terms of quality rather than price, and in order to differentiate accordingly, you need to follow the standard format of the 4 P’s marketing plan. That is, Price, Product, Place and Promotion – obviously you know the main attributes of the product, and the price, but for ‘place’ you should think about the type of people who are willing to pay over 4x price of competing product – whereas the cheap option may be sold where emphasis is on cost, your product will be suited to places/distributors where the customers will be willing to pay for quality. Promotion needs to concentrate on the unique selling point / differentiator of the product you are selling, so this would be promotion through media (the choice of which depends on place – ie internet, leaflets, direct sales force, tv etc etc) with a strong emphasis on the reliability, durability and quality of the desk drawer slide – heavily focussing on the life of the product compared to cheaper ones; a ‘lifespan’ comparison could show the cheaper one to be a false economy both in cost and effort of replacement, so this could communicate it quite well.
Hope this helps
