Blogroll Links

Hey Everyone one,

If your name is on this list it means that your link it not directly to your blog’s homepage. Please go to the blogroll and add the correct link to it and I will delete the broken link.
If you are using UBC blogs then the url should look something like this:

blog.ubc.ca/”your name”

Please go to the homepage of your blog and copy the link and add it again to the blogroll. If your blogs aren’t opening correctly you’re not getting marks!

Here are the names:

Venner, Matt

MacDonald, Jacqueline

Kajatt Vaccari, Yaphet F

chow, Adrian

Choi, Yoon Jeong


Thanks,

Snooki and her new bag

Hi guys,

Tamar talked about a new marketing strategy of companies sending celebrities products from their competitors, to sport, in the hope it will devalue that brand.

Problems with the Blogroll

Hi Everyone,

There have been a few posts regarding adding your blogs to the Blogroll. Maybe I will be able to sort them out with this post. First off it’s nice to see that some people have been able to get it to work, and for those that can’t no worries.

If you see that your name is appearing more then once don’t worry about it I will be going through and deleting duplicates.

If you can’t seem to get the add link button to work I have two solutions:

1) Once you have entered all the fields, including the password, press the “enter” key on your keyboard and that should just add it.

2) The button for some reason is really finicky and you have to have your mouse in just the right spot to click it. Look at the screen shot below to see where you need to have it placed:

If you still can’t get the link to add to the blogroll send me an email @ scottrolufs@gmail.com and I can help you out.

Enjoy the rest of the weekend,

|Scott

INTRODUCTION: Vancouver…I Love This City

Welcome to COMM 296: Introduction to Marketing!

My name is Scott Rolufs and I will be the TA for section 102 this semester. Let me tell you a little bit about myself, I’m a fourth year marketing student here at Sauder. I was born and raised in Vancouver and wouldn’t want it any other way.  In my free time, when I actually have some, I play volleyball, golf, ski, basically anything that gets me outside. If it wasn’t clear from my choice to enter the marketing option, I am passionate about the marketing world and everything it entails. Whether it be traditional advertisements, market research, or the emerging social media trends, I want to learn as much as I can and my hope by the end of the semester you will too.

My goal for this blog, amongst its main purpose of passing along class announcements and updates, is to have a place where everyone can share their thoughts on anything marketing related. A place to share that new favourite ad or that blog you can’t live without with a group of peers.

I’ll start this off by sharing a few of the blogs I like to read:

http://sethgodin.typepad.com/

http://markettingblog.blogspot.com/

http://www.canadianmarketingblog.com/ 

|–> The last blog has a lot of content, you’ll want to take your time with this one.

Another thing I hope to do with every post is to provide an ad that I like. If I can I will try and relate the ad back to what we are covering in class to help add depth to your learning. Since we haven’t started our classes yet this post will contain my favourite set of ads right now. I’m sure most people have seen these but I will post them anyways:

Leave a comment with your thoughts in response to my blogs/youtube videos or post your own introduction below.

Looking forward to a great semester,

| Scott
