In this week’s class, we learn about how different products and services will go through periods or highs and lows. In the link, the shoe shiner is a great example of service phasing out. During the 1900’s, this occupation was in high demand that many men on the street will pay the shoe shiner to polish their shoes.

Other than a shoe shiner, anyone heard of a vinyl record? Vinyl records are the first method that allow music to be stored and to be replayed and is replaced by data storage on hard drive.

While it is great that the humanity is improving or replacing existing products and services, it is also sad to see these unique products and services are being forgotten.

WOW! I never though I would write a blog in my life. Nevertheless, I am willing to take a step, and bring out my inner social animal.

First of all, as you can see it in my blog title, my name is Chris. A student, just like the rest of you, studying in Sauder School of Business. Made in China and was imported to Canada in 1997. Who am I? I guess you should talk to me in person to know me better. I have worked as a chef, telemarketer, and currently a martial art assistant instructor.

I plan to specialize in Finance. Marketing? I’ll think about it.

Well I guess this is all for today. I hope everyone in section 204 will enjoy their time in Marketing.
