EDDIE! SET! GO! “On your mark!” The participants find their zone, mentally calculating the path mapped out for this course. “Get Set!” Crouching with knees bent, tuning all noise buzzing around completely out, waiting for the only sound that really counts, I anxiously listen for the gun that will start me in motion. “FIRE!” explodes from the gun. My “Eddies” automatically start to hit the payment moving determinedly down the path of the mapped 3K “Mad Mud Fun Run” course in my hometown. The only training needed for this race was endurance and my “Eddie Baurer” footwear. I came across these shoes flipping through an October 2014 National Geographic magazine at work one lunch break. I was intrigued by the sales ad in the magazine so …show more content…
The weight of a shoe needs to breathable and an imaginary sense of shoeless wear on a foot. A company or an individual who can strive and accomplish the lightweight ware of a shoe moves to the top choice on my list to purchase. The ads portrays this lightweight shoe in motion on a page. No human foot is placed inside the shoe which produces the effect of how lightweight it is. The shoe seems to float in air. This extraordinary shoe is begging to be purchased to be proven otherwise. The ad also states, “Whatever your destination, it takes you there. And back. Think big trips, light hikes, city rambles, and traveling the globe.” No limitations is being claimed off this page. Try it and see. “Prove me wrong,” states the shoe, “I am the adventure.” As my Eddie Bauer shoes and I crossed the finish line of the Mad Mud Fun Run, I was exhilarated on the accomplishment of completing the race. Of course, what placement I finished is definitely not the important detail right now. I did purchase these shoes after seeing the ad and used these shoes in my training and in the race. Yes! My Eddie Bauer shoes hit the mark with flying “green” colors in comfort and in minimum weight. The ad does state that this shoe is “the ultimate 24-hour adventure traveler.” Well, I am living my adventure with my now muddy Eddie Bauer
Based on The Running Room’s current situation, Cisco considers a number of alternatives to her present marketing strategy. On one hand, she could continue to maintain a broad target market to appeal to both casual athletes--with more fashion-conscious products that aren’t necessarily running shoes--and serious runners, while attempting to tap into the growing market for women’s athletic shoes with expanded product lines for female athletes. This strategy would help her maintain her aging loyal customers, as she could offer athletic shoes that reflect the new exercise programs that they are becoming involved in instead of running. Conversely, she could narrow her target market to just serious runners, by investing in the high-end molded running shoes and the additional training and promotion that would be required to sell them. An analysis of The Running Room’s strengths and weaknesses can help her determine that the second strategy is the most worthwhile to pursue moving forward. As a former nationally-ranked runner herself, and with both a proven track record for catering to serious runners (who make up a majority of her sales) as well as the flexibility to switch product lines fairly easily, Cisco’s business strengths would support a shift to a more serious runner target market with relative

(TS) The advertisement for Bose Headphones displaying the man and the waterfall uses humor and dramatic irony to make readers remember the ad and the headphones they are selling.

The Son Doong Expedition Tour is one of the most favorite tours I desire to explore. This ad appeals to my pathos simply because Son Doong is located in Vietnam where I was born and raised until the day I got married. Too many sweet memories I got in the past seem to appear in front of my eyes when I am looking at this ad. It can bring many strong emotions to me and makes me feel homesick. As Vietnam is my motherland, I am feeling proud of Son Doong as one of the world’s largest cave.
TOMS Shoes is a most humanitarian organization; they are a for – benefit business with a major heart. The organization was established by Blake Mycoskie in 2006. Mycoskie set up the organization after he saw outrageous destitution in a few nations including Argentina as a hopeful of the "Astonishing Race Contest" on CBS Television. Amid this occasion he saw villagers youthful and old who couldn 't bear the cost of a solitary match of shoes. In mid 2002 he found the agreeable and one of a kind ranch shoe worn by local people known as the "Aspartate". (TOMS.com) Mycoskie formed a shoe after this style, one that was adaptable, strong yet great and comfortable and had them fabricated in Argentina. At that point Mycoskie came back to the United States equipped with the shoes and a commendable mission. His central goal and one of a kind business proposition included approaching retail locations to offer his TOMS shoes, then for each match of TOMS sold he would give a couple of TOMS to a youngster in need. A Los Angeles boutique, American Rag, had confidence in the story behind the shoe and turned into Mycoskie 's first retail client. "Amazingly, that end of the week gathered him $88,000 in requests. Two years after authoritatively building up TOMS Shoes, the business had "$9.6 million in income." (TOMS.com)
According to the article, Eddie’s mom says that, “In a few months, everyone will be into some other style, and you’ll be out 170 bucks.” Eddie’s mom does not think that buying a new pair of expensive brand-name shoes is a good idea, because she thinks that they will go out of style and Eddie might regret buying them.

Smoking tobacco has been a part of American culture since its very conception. Throughout our history, tobacco has been advertised as a simple pleasure for those who seek it out. Whether you are sitting on the porch with a couple of friends or in a dimly lit jazz club, tobacco ads give off a false sense of comfort, power, and success. Until around the mid-1900’s, smoking cigarettes was not considered unhealthy. It was only later that the public realize the detrimental health consequences that came with smoking tobacco. To spread this information, specific advertisements were aired to help inform the public of the dangers of smoking. While these ads have changed over time, the same message and warning still remains evident.
