Go to a new store in the mall

The store i chose was international clothing that is located at Universal mall. I have never been in this store so i decided to go for the fist time saturday evening. The store from the outside looks very interesting. There is alot of colors and it seems like alot of people dont really pay attention to the store unless they are international students. When i walked in the store, the salesperson seems very bored and ready to go home. She was an african american women and she was sitting down in a seat when i came in.
I asked her did they have diamond earings and she said no so i just continued to look around at what all they had. The clothes from the outside looks really nice but once you walk in and look around, your oppinion changes quick. The clothing is expensive and it looks like they dont get as many costomers to buy purchase their wear. My overall, experience was very interesting. I can never see myself buying anything from that store. The clothes also have an odor on it that i would never want to smell on me. The salesperson was so happy to see me and wanted me to buy something but i told her the clothes wasnt my style and they are very expensive.

R.A.W Exhibits

The first exhibit i attended was with group A. They went to the craft shop and used different paper and boards to design flags and poster, with very important information about binged drinking. They prepared the activitiy in the student center near Mcdonalds. The things they used to get people attention to stop and listen was cut up beer cans with the word RAW on it, also important facts.
This exhibit was efective becouse, it seemed like alot of people was interested in what was going on at the time and they wanted to know more information.
They really didnt need to add more to the experience. It was well put together.

The second exhibit i attended was friday 13th at lawson. This RAW experience was very interesting. I have never been part of something like that before in my life and i had a great time.
This exhibit was very effective becouse the whole class fell on the floor and it points out great facts of how this can really happen if we drink too much where we cant handle it.
All activities like these that was going on throughout the week was amazing and we should continue to do more of exhibits with drinking and smoking to help people understand how serious this is.

Product

Something around my room that took me some thought into buying would be my bag of snicker bars. I purchased this product because i was hungry and haven't had nothing to eat all that day. Snickers are delicious and the peanuts in them are more delicious. When i have a sweet tooth, snickers is the first candy bar that comes to mind, but i do take time out to think about if snickers the right thing to eat at that moment because, they do have a lot of fat. What shape my existing perception about snickers, is that they have a reputation of being very delicious and cheap.
Brand tags.net top ten things they say about snickers would be, peanuts, candy, chocolate, nuts, satisfies, marathon, yummy, fat, hungry, and sweet. My perception matches brand tags a lot. We basically have a lot in common. Some i didn't even think about like marathon, satisfies and nuts but overall, I was right on track with the website.

Favorite Advertistment

This "Mcdonald's chicken mcnugget" commercial is my favorite advertisment becouse, the guy that is singing in the commerical makes viewers believe that his girlfriend is cheating on him with mcnuggets.
What catches my attention would be the music and song that the guy was singing is very interesting. It keeps viewers excited about see watching the wholw entire commercial.
This commercial has made me go out and buy mcnuggets. The mcnuggets appear appetizing and for the girlfriend to not share her mcnuggets show that the food must be very good.
This commerical is an effective advertisment becouse, it has an catchy tone and it makes viewers think that the commerical is more like an music video. Once viewers hear the commerical oftne they will learn the song and think of mcnuggets
