Week of 10/29: Question 3


This week's reading proved to be a very interesting one, and set up a lot of different topics. One that interested me the most was marketing research. As defined by Boss, marketing research is "identifying a target market and finding out if it matches customer desires."I feel that people these days make a really good job at finding who their target audience is. One example would be the way that Axe advertises and targets its products. They use a lot of sexuality and women in their ads. Their products could probably work just as well on women as they do on men, but they have marketed them towards men. From their first campaign, they have obviously reached success, so they've continued with their style. Today, most of their products and commercials somehow involve a woman, or multiple women, chasing a man down because of the scent of the Axe product that they are using.
