Porter demonstrates how the five competitive forces can be used in any industry. The results from all five forces not only look at the narrow aspect of competition rivals but as well as broader aspect of competitive interaction within an industry. These five competitive forces can also be used in the case of Valuejet. Competition within the airline industry is highly
Over the past 25 years, ESPN has become the master when it comes to marketing college basketball. They're the professionals of this amateur game. Earlier this spring ESPN and its spinoffs ESPN2, ESPNU and ESPN Classic aired a record 97 conference tournament men's basketball games over an eight day period, including 16 games broadcast from 10 different locations on March 12 (Hiestand). For fans of the sport ESPN has become a college hoops haven. CBS may garner the most attention for its $6 billion 11-year contract, which gives the network exclusive broadcasting rights for the season-ending men's NCAA tournament, but it is ESPN, which is responsible for the game's dramatic rise in

A huge part of going to college football games is tailgating. People always enjoy the fellowship, food, and for some, alcohol before watching the game. Colleges could raise the cost of the tailgating spots slightly and make a huge amount of money. Raising the cost of a tailgating spot is yet another way just a small amount from everyone adds up to make a huge difference for the school.
1) Can you identify examples of decisions about each part of the marketing mix (product, place, promotion, and pricing) that are being made in the cookie program? The Product is Girl Scout cookies as well as the Girl Scouts themselves. Since 1912 Cookie sales have played a major role in supporting the Girl Scouts organization at the council and troop levels. Being able to target certain people can be tricky sometimes specially if you don’t know what you’re doing or what your target is. You have to be able to sell yourself as well as the product and who better to sell Girl Scout cookies then young girls. The Girl Scouts mainly target the middle and upper class

While talking to many of the students on campus, many students go to the games on Friday and Saturday in order to start off their nights. In other words, they go to the games, which start at 7, to start the fun before they go out to bars or friend’s houses. The opportunity to have Thursday night games, which is a day where many students are done with their school week and have fun that night, could have attendance in line with Friday and greater than Saturday. The ticket package that I would suggest is buy 3, get 3 free in the student section. This could create a “bring your friends” environment that would boost sales.The reason why it’s not just 50% each ticket instead of the buy 3, get 3 is because my deal would bring more attendance because you need 6 people instead of just a singular person. Also, with more students in the seats, concession sales would also get a boost. With more attendees at the game, they are going to want food and drinks. With better concession sales, that will make up for the loss of profit from the free tickets. The overall positives make up for the possible
Hey Freshman Parents ~ if your child is going to the first home football game tonight you might want to send money with them to school to get a ticket. They are less expensive if they purchase them at school during the day. The price goes up for all at the gate. (Parents, you can also go get tickets for the family for the lower cost at the school).
After purchasing tickets, fans get tickets to come enjoy a game, but once they are in you expose them to other revenue sources. They have the opportunity to spend their money on merchandise, concessions and even tickets to future games. There are even revenue sources before they walk into the ballpark like stadium/arena parking.
