The product can be marketed effectively by fine-tuning the products attributes, price, delivery channels, and overall image for a carefully defined segment. Introducing the product into a niche segment will also ensure that Exotic Fruit Bars gains a foothold against larger more resourceful competitors, and eventually grows into a larger competitor with conceivably newer and more diversified product selections.

There are many retail giants that have had an active presence on the market for sometime. A few that come to mind are JCPenny, Macy’s and Nordstorm’s. However, one major retail chain that has spread across the country was started right here in the state of Arkansas. Dillard’s first department store was opened in 1938 in Nashville, Arkansas by its founder William Dillard. Since its inauguration, Dillard’s has turned into one of the more prominent retailers in the United States. With an ever growing market base and clientele, Dillard’s has seen successful since the early 1950s. This success, however, leaves people with a few questions about the Arkansas native retail giant. What does Dillard’s current market look like? How does Dillard’s compare

Peet 's Coffee and Tea is a well-known and loved coffee shop with three stores here in Colorado. Although the prices and work space isn 't the best they offer great, quick drinks served by friendly employees. The store is a place for a comforting, warm place to sit. Peet 's Coffee was started by Alfred Peet in 1966 and his coffee was unlike any other coffee shop. He brewed in small amounts, always had fresh beans, a great quality, and a dark roast. This all produced a coffee that was rich and complex, and still is today.
Hundreds of thousands of Chicagoans live in what’s known as a food desert. A food desert is in an area of focus that is short on access to fresh meat and produce. These areas are usually over populated with packaged and processed foods, which are not always healthy. They also have a significant amount junk that you can easily find in convenience stores and fast food restaurants.
In the article “It’s Not Climate Change-It’s Everything Change,” the author Margaret Atwood, starts of by talking about three different pictures. The first one being “The future without oil,” the second, “The future without oil arrives very quickly,” and the third, “Some countries plan for the future of diminished oil, some don’t have any, or don’t need any.” The first picture says to imagine driving around in our in vehicles fueled by hydrogen. Our goods will be coming to us by solar and sail driven ship, and trains and bicycles will become popular again. People start eating locally and start growing vegetables in their yards. Water is having to be saved and low draw lightbulbs are being used because incandescent have been banned. Also the slogan “Heat yourself, not the room” is no longer a slogan, it’s the way we all live now. The air conditioning systems no longer exist so during summer, there will not be huge amounts of power being used. Still imagining, the author discusses what will be wearing and what we will eat. Cotton will be consider too expensive, so recycled tinfoil and plastic will be used for clothing. The idea of obesity will no longer be a problem, and diet plans will be mandatory. This “picture one” is liked by the author because it’s comforting and says it might come true. The second picture the author discuses is “suppose the future without oil arrives very quickly.” Very sudden, there would be no cars, no planes, a few trains, and some bicycles. Water
Food deserts are one of the main causes of obesity in lower income areas, and while initiatives are being created to solve this problem, more than just a few initiatives are needed to change the obesity issue.
We live in an age in which we have come to expect everything to be instantaneously at our fingertips. We live in an age of instant coffee, instant tea, and even instant mashed potatoes. We can walk down the street at 5 in the morning and get a gallon of milk or even a weeks worth of groceries at our discretion. Even though it is great that food is now readily available at all times, this convenience comes at a price, for both the producer and the consumer. Farmers are cheated out of money and are slaves to big business, workers and animals are mistreated. And, because food now comes at a low cost, it has become cheaper quality and therefore potentially dangerous to the consumer’s health. These problems surrounding the ethics and the
For most us Americans, knowing when we’re going to eat next is something we very rarely think of, and when we do think about being hungry we still know where our food is coming from. Three big meals a day, and a few snacks in between, is how most of us live. It’s hard for us to imagine what its like for those who go days eating very little or nothing at all. But unfortunately that’s how it is for most of the world and surprisingly it happens in the United Sates as well. There are many reasons malnutrition can happen, and it happens to every age group. Even though there are many ways to treat it, in the
One of the most life changing technological innovations is the microwave oven. Invented by accident in 1946 by Dr. Percy LeBaron Spencer, the microwave oven was originally received poorly like many other new forms of technology. Fears that the microwave radiation would escape during use, or that it would ruin the art of cooking were some of the worries that many people had when this technology was released (Gallawa, 2007). Through years of refinement however, the microwave oven has become commonplace in kitchens across the globe. While fears of people giving up traditional cooking methods proved to be unfounded, microwaves have proven to be a valuable tool used by everyone from young kids to master chefs. In addition, an entire new food service industry was created based on the ability to quickly prepare food. Frozen foods and microwave popcorn are just a couple of the items we
Proper nutrition is one of the most essential elements to being healthy and living a long life. People deal with food every day, and food has been a part of life since the beginning of civilization. What we eat becomes our diet, and our diet plays a major role in deciding how healthy we are and how well our body functions. Without proper diet, our body cannot carry out the functions it needs to perform. Most people have some common knowledge on what is good and what is bad for the human body to consume. Fruits, vegetables, nuts, and grains are some common items people think of when they think of healthy foods. However, it is not enough just to know what foods are good for your body, it is also important to understand why certain foods are
