Three people whom I talked to about my business ideas this week This week, I spoke with three different people who are interested in my business ideas. These people are Yoko Suzuki who is my friend in Tokyo, Dr. Ikuho Amano who is an associate professor of Modern Languages and Literatures at UNL, and Dr. Debra Wesselman of The Attached Trauma Center of Nebraska. The following are the details: Yoko Suzuki: Yoko loves to make soap at home. Her dream is to start her own soap making business, but she is not sure where to start. I asked her, “There’s a lot of soap out there. How are you going be different?” She looked embarrassed and could not answer me, because she knows there is a lot of handmade soap in the U.S. market. To find her own niche markets, I encouraged her to look into wedding favors, personalized soaps, organic, and novelty soaps. Once she decides her niche, she can begin to develop her specific soaps and source ingredients, packaging, and labels. I added, “You may want to test your products before launching them.” Then, I explained the marketing plan including advertisement about how retail shows where her particular clients shop. She liked my idea and wanted to hear more about it. Dr. Ikuho Amano: Ikuho is a professor at UNL, but she is interested in doing her own business during the summer break this year. She was curious if I would have any thought on this. I told her that the workshop of Leadership and Communication Skills for Japanese business people

On the very first day, I was overwhelmed and excited because I was going to learn from two great mentors. I was also excited to share my previous practicing leadership skills with other group members although I have greatly sharpened my leadership skills according to the framework provided by the facilitators on the first day. I had been provided different opportunities to demonstrate the leadership skills in my professional and personal life and I fulfilled the criteria according to that situation however, this course highlighted some gaps, which needs to be addressed in my future implications.
Second recommendation is to collaborate with other brands. In order to increase sales and expand not only premium market, but also mass market without undermining brand value, there are two options to target different consumers. One is to collaborate with Superdry, which is a young and fashionable brand with great reputation. Consumers are able to smell the partner perfume in Superdry’s shop and make purchase if they are interested in. Another is to collaborate with five-star hotels. There are many kinds of bath

I have been a part of this group for two years, one of the starting members and the experiences that I have gained are communicating in front of a public, networking, event planning, and brainstorming ideas to come up with activities to raise awareness. During these two years of attaining these experiences I discovered my strong abilities in these areas. By taking an online class, Introduction to Business I was able to develop my knowledge about business and be able to understand the different careers in the business field. I requested to take this class to be able to confirm if I truly want to invest my time in the future in the business field. When I completed my Introduction to Business class I was able to confirm that what I wanted to undertake in two years was a career as a Foreign Sales

Currently, the most frequent users are children under 10 and seniors over the age of 65. The buyers of health and beauty aids also consist of a wide range of users. Younger users tend to buy hair care and hygiene products initially, then add cosmetics and skin care items as they mature. The addition of a wide range of household items, including kitchenware, toys, pet care items, and lawn care items has enhanced the appeal of the drugstore as a one-stop shopping destination, where frequently used items can be picked up while a prescription is being filled. The development of a strategy that focuses on convenience items will further broaden the target market.

Dr. Bronner's has a simple product with a complex label. However, the simple product is predictable, reliable and you can use it for many things! It is very simple and suddenly, when I purchase the soap, I have many powers. Luckily, the label looks more like wall paper, because it has so much writing, that I don't read it all until I get home. The important parts of the label are clear and simple, however, “All in
Leong nodded apologetically to Garrison as she left and said, “The interviewer from your alumni magazine is here.” The magazine was interviewing Sander for an article on “high-potential” product managers as part of a career development issue. After the Avant-Garde acquisition of Landon, Sander had been selected to reformulate a stale Avant-Garde skin care product marketed primarily in Western Europe and to launch it as Nourish in the United States. The target market for Nourish included active American women in their 20s and 30s. Even though considerable investment in research and development would be required, Avant-Garde had allocated $25 million to fast-track the project, in an effort to beat a competing product to market. The interviewer from the alumni magazine first asked, “Alex, how did you end up working in product
