Brand Revitalization


Step 1. Watch one (1) of the following videos:

The Rise and Fall of J.Crew: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Vr-UMeQiVh0

The Rise and Fall of Victoria’s Secret: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=H2a3wgcmXPI

The Rise and Fall of Hummer: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=SHLmoswkkAQ

The Rise and Fall of Cadillac: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=UY-7-TIIW2w

The Rise and Fall of BlackBerry: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=wBwlpJSq75o

Step 2. Based on what you’ve seen in the video (and potentially other research you’ve done on the internet), why did the brand analyzed in the video start losing its strength and popularity? Go through the following factors and assess whether or not they may have played a role. Provide a supporting argument for your assessment — that is, explain why you think this factor did or did not play a role.

  1. Changes in consumer’s preferences, tastes, and/or values:
  2. Changes in consumers’ shopping patterns:
  3. Changes in competition:
  4. Changes in technology:
  5. Changes in government regulations or policies:

Step 3. How could this brand rise again? Consider the following marketing strategies. Go through each strategy in the list below and assess whether the strategy should or should not be a part of the brand’s marketing effort to make a comeback. Explain why.

  1. Expanding breadth of awareness (influencing consumers to use the brand’s product/service in a wider range of situations):
  2. Improving the brand image among vulnerable or lost customers (investing in efforts to recapture the interest of past customers who used to love the brand or current customers who are starting to feel uncertain about the brand):
  3. Attracting new customers (trying to find completely new customers; i.e., different age groups, different income groups, etc.):
  4. Repositioning the brand by establishing a more compelling point-of-difference:
  5. Adjusting/changing the 4 Ps (product, price, place, and/or promotion) of the brand:
  6. Improving brand elements (e.g., updating the brand’s name, logo, tagline):

journal poverty

Watch the video and respond to these questions in a minimum 1 paragraph each

https://mediaplayer.pearsoncmg.com/assets/_video.true/sociology_2017_blue_chalk_videos-dual_perspectives

One understanding of poverty in the U.S. suggests that large-scale societal issues like race and class perpetuate it. Others argue that the actions of individuals are responsible for poverty; however, poverty is often a temporary condition that isn’t caused by fault of the individual — so is it fair to blame them?

What are some of the structural barriers in society that prevent people from falling into poverty, or climbing out of it?

What conditions might one face that lead them into poverty?

What are your ideas on how we, as a society, could prevent more people from falling into poverty?

How do you think those ideas would be accepted in society? (Remember, a stratification system also include an ideology that justifies the inequality.

So, would your ideas justify why people are poor, or why people are rich?

 

All answers should come from the video. Create a reference for the video and cite the video using the video time. Any other external source should be cited as well. Include a total of 3 references, including the video, all well formatted in APA.
