             I ’m really joyful  because our class had special activity. Every group prepared a role play for job interview. For my group, singer  interview.  I were interviewer so I had to act as a strict interviewer. Palm and Prae were commentators  while Mai and Miw were applicants. We did it our best!  especially  Miw ,she is  good acting. She made classmate and Aj.Kob laugh out loud! Every group was great today.

            From this activity, I actually understood the real job interview include formal question and language (ability of English skill) or what should I do if I am in this situation. I know job interviewing never seems to get any easier so I have to try and practice answering interview questions and during the job interview  try to relax and stay as calm possible. Make eye contact with the interviewer. Listen to the entire question before you answer and pay attention.

                                                    Nothing has come easy.  Keep fighting!

     For this week, I get a new idea/creativity about marketing strategy  from this course.  The company need to create unique of products to persuade customers such as  production positioning (unique selling point) promotion strategies or brand value. If your company create the point of selling that are outstanding and different. It’ll make your products are more interesting. For instance, Starbuck Coffee. I think unique selling point of Starbuck is coffee flavor.

      Product definition:  Product = Product + service + after sale service. I think it’s very important in marketing strategy. How to build a  successful brand. How to make impression for consumers. However, I know it was not easy to make one well- know product and success in business. But if you try to create new idea  for your product. It’s not difficult!

                                            Think different & Make different!

       Aj. Kob talked about “What are woman’s bag vs what is really in your bag?”  My group  surveyed each bag that members wore or carried today and separated  which  is brand or non-brand products  such as bags, cosmetics , mobile-phone ,shoes include bra that you wore today etc. Then my friend and I presented our product. For other group, I hardly believe 10  brands belong to one person. someone use  non- brand all product.

        After that, I learnt about Maslow’s Hierarchy of need. I get knowledge that I never know before. People have many reason to buy something but it’s not just basic needs .What do you really want from product? In fact, you don’t just want products but  you know? in your subconscious mind ,you want safety, belonging ,ego-esteem or self-Actualization. And you what do you really want from product?

My reflection On Victoria's Secret

      This was really a surprise when I know Victoria’s secret. It ’s very popular company  especially in America .Victoria’s secret is known for woman’s lingerie and beauty products. Importantly, I’m very amazed for strategies of marketing. You know ? it is the largest segment of publicly-traded Limited Brands with sales of over US$5 billion and an operating income of $1 billion in 2006 . And now an operating income increase continualy.  

       

       I love promotion strategy of Victoria Secret. The company has ceased to use supermodels in its fashion shows and model photographer in catalogues. I think this strategy is the point of sale that make Victoria’s Secret is successful nowadays.  From I watched Victoria’s Secret Fashion Show 2010-2011  from YouTube. It’s very spectacular show. This show is called Victoria’s secret Angels.  I believe the audiences catch the eyes for supermodels. The underwear is so sexy and really elegant. My favorite model is Adriana Lima. She is a beautiful girl and looks stunning on catwalk.

      I’m active about learn a new things again. Today  Aj. Kob assigned students chose the brand you love and design their own blog. When I heard that I have to make own blog. I’m very anxious. My mind was thinking “how should I do because  I never do it before”. Moreover,  Aj. Kob shown us some of excellent blogs designed by our senior in 2010 class. I just said one word “Perfect” It’s really perfect as professional. I though I can’t do this. It’s too difficult. I lack of idea to create my blog.  I remember when I was first year I studied ITE-101. I learnt about Photoshop. You have to have  imagination or idea to edit your pictures  You know I get D+ grade. It’s so sad. And then I have to make own blog again. I worried.    

However, I try to consult friends who know about to design the blog than me.  That time I’m very anxious until I saw Aj.Kob’ s comment  in one of senior’s blog. Aj. Kob wrote “Sky has no limit; so does your ability. just love what you do, believe me. you can see you can do so many things you haven't tried before,” It’s made me feel good and  I have encouraged to try new things.

                                            Things never try  ,it’s not mean I can’t
