Thorough the pain, people can get a new face to start a “new” life. I agree that having a good appearance has more opportunities. Every lady wants to be beauty forever.

Did you see this ads before? Why does this interesting billboard appear? Is it really promoting sex? I was surprised and shocked about this ads. It is unbelievable that they gives a toll free number for help. This ads raises some eyebrows in big cities cross the country, you can find some in Vancouver. In Los Angeles,

Actually, the sign is not really about promoting sex. Instead, it is designed to promote a new movie called “The Virginity Hit” which is a 2010 comedy film produced by Adam McKay and Will Ferrell.  According to the report, “more than 70,000 people called the 888 number in just five days and everyone seems to be talking about it”.

Billboards promoting a new movie are causing controversy. And this should be an unique ads to promote a movie and also misdirect people’s thinking. It is really special billboard I have never seen before. To be different, to attract more people concern it! What do people think about this billboard? There is a short video. Here is the link~~

“Many parents say they don’t care if it’s a publicity stunt. They want the sign taken down. Others think the sign is genius marketing.”

Welcome to the lomography world! Do you have any instant cameras or cameras with films? Personally, I am interested in these products. And most people have their own digital single-lens reflex camera (DSLR) right now. People enjoy their life with those heavy and professional camera, including me~~ Anyway, I like to try new and unique products, like these lomos!!! Lomos is a new and funny market in the camera world. From here, I simply introduce two lomos I use.

My favor is an instant camera from Japanese company, Fuji. This is fuji mini 7s pink. It look nice~~And the film is the credit card size. We can put meaningful picture in our wallets. Also, we can record our life immediately and share with friends! The most magic stuff is that all people look much more pretty than the real one by this camera!!

This one is called fisheye! I inserted one picture taken by fisheye. Do you find different with other general picture? The most important and unique stuff is its camera lens. It looks coooool~~ I think it is worth to own one!

In the market, various kinds of lomo are competing though they have their unique functions. From Chapter 8, we learned differentiated segmentation strategy. They can stay peaceably in the strong competitive market, because of their differences. Maybe people want to buy all of them if they have enough money and are completely interested in photography.  In addition, these camera designs attract most of young people. It looks colorful, young and lively. So I believe it can stand  in the strong camera market competitions, because their functions are totally different to other high quality digital cameras.

Look at these pictures, can you believe that is a LV branch store? Absolutely, it is only one special and lovely LV branch store located in Japan. Their multicolor interior design and unique designing ideas are all designed by Japanese famous artist -Takashi Muradami. They are famous as comsic blossom logo. I call them “sunflowers”. These special logos with multicolor look adorable and delectable. Before 2010, these unique products only sell in Japan, though they come into the world market. You can see this product in LV branch store and HR in Vancouver. You will love this logos immediately and desire to own!

The special logos is a great way to promote fashion products and brand reputation. Like this sunflowers with multicolors, the manufacturer also occupies the younger generation market.  In my traditional point, LV is mom’s product, like Salvatore Farregamo Chanel, and also Hermes. Depend on marketing trends, the merchants start to focus on young generation market because of their strong consumption capacity.

Before opening a new market, the promoters should know what customers want and need. This cute and desirable logos attract girls. For example, if you were a boy, what would you send to your girlfriend as a birthday gift? LV comsic blossom could be one of your best choices. Your girlfriend definitely loves this unique hand bag, wallet, or silk scarves. It can satisfy young lady’s vanity and show her loveliness. It combines with marketing strategy and psychological strategy.

Although it is marketing course, it is also a psychology class, I think. We have to predictably and correctly conjecture customer’s needs and wants, then we can successfully overcome all difficulties and  make a stand in the stormy marketing competition. To be UNIQUE!
