The fast food industry has grown over the past years, and now a new type of food service has arise in the form of gas stations. Wawa and Sheetz are these new dominators, who strive on providing quick service and great food.

The consumer fanbase for each company is extreme. Fans of Wawa have been known to get the logo tattooed on their biceps, and fans of Sheetz call themselves “sheetzfreaks” and sometimes linger on the vicinity into the early morning hours. Both of these companies have excelled and this paper aims to examine why this has occurred, particularly examining the PR practices of

Coney Island has served as a metaphor for countless aspects of society and life. Throughout the years, Coney has been recognized by nicknames from "America's Playground" to "Sodom by the Sea." Welcoming all race, social class, gender, and ethnicity, the land without sun is the symbol of the best of America’s democratic nature for most individuals. Although many people seem to enjoy Coney Island the way is it now, it is no doubt that it will soon come crashing down due to its hectic ways. With tens of thousands of folks attending weekly, and the number of children that get lost, it is a recipe for disaster. The openness of Coney has allowed for the introduction of a criminal component such as horse racing, boxing, gambling, drinking, and prostitution. The

PASOs has accomplished one of its primary goals by serving as a bridge between the Latino community and service organizations. PASOs relays information directly from the community to service organizations and then from the service organization’s to the community.

Secondly PASOs educates the community on services and programs available to them and how to navigate service systems. Thirdly PASOs educates the service organizations on the values, beliefs, culture, and barriers to services the Latinos encounter. One respondent who participated in an interview stated:

A beautiful coastal beach community, Encinitas, California is an amalgamation of several small communities that came together to form the city now known as Encinitas. Each of the city’s five districts is a formerly independent community that retains its own unique flavor and atmosphere, making Encinitas a city of diverse appearances and life styles. Successful entrepreneurs have found that if they wish to compete outside their own district they need to adapt their promotional style and marketing strategy accordingly. At Minuteman Press we advise our clients that send promotional correspondence to give serious consideration to using variable data printing in Encinitas.

This type of new program offering and adding one-on-one training for his current customers would increase NOCO’s market penetration in the 10-13 year old group too. Using customer satisfaction surveys would be a great market research tool for Dyer to use to identify the types of new programs his customers are looking for. Diversification in NOCO’s target markets is another avenue for Dyer to explore to expand his business. Consumers in Colorado are very interested in soccer.

Given the fact that the city’s downtown district and main point of attraction is marketed as “The Arts District,” the community’s appreciation and support for artistic creativity is to be expected. The unexpected element that specifically Carmel provides is that this support is directed towards all local proponents in the area. In analyzing the recent advertisement for a community art fair (see Appendix B), this concept is more than clear. The poster, marketing the Carmel International Arts Festival, advertises the twentieth running of the event that showcases local artists of all backgrounds, mediums, and interests.
