Introduction about myself (Comm296-1st post)

Hi everyone, my name is Werada Somboonvechakarn or Ana. I am a second year student studying in Sauder School of business. One of the most well known questions for second year students are what options we want to choose. However, I am not even sure myself about which option I like to do. I was born in Thailand and spent pretty much my whole life there, for all elementary school, middle school and high school. Then I decided to study abroad to explore my university life. I am interested in marketing as we experience them in daily life.  Although there is no choice for us, second year Sauder students, to choose not to do this course, I am very excited to get to learn about marketing and know more about how it actually work and how it affects us in which way.

As stated, we experience marketing in everyday life, sometimes even without realizing it, we already bought the products home. As a consumer, I am sure that marketing do affects us in either a good way or bad way.  There were times when I want something just because of their attractive ads, without actually thinking whether it will be useful or whether I need it. Many of the stuffs I bought are left behind, yet still get attract to the new products in the market. This is why I think marketing is a very interesting topic! Talking about the attractive ads, one of my favourite is the smartcover for Ipad2. It’s so attractive that I actually bought one for my ipad; the appearance and functions of the cover that show off the ads are stunning. Here is the video of the ads. And a little something about myself is that I have a twin sister and we don’t really look alike 🙂
