PRO GRT @ Platty

Yo, everyone please please take a look at this so you know what's what for the weekend. There is a bunch of shit that is necessary to know, a lot of which I am not too pleased to read i.e. camping and pit space. If enough of us want to go, it might be worth sending ahead to reserve a spot. Lets talk about this. http://www.ridemonkey.com/forums/showthread.php?t=231279

603

Is where I am now. Back in the 802 at some point(s) though for fun. DH bike is not coming together well...irritating. And I am not deleting that post from Sammy. We need some informative posts now and again.

Whoops

I have a blog for my marketing class as well, posted on the wrong blog

Rogaine Commercial

Yesterday I saw a Rogaine commercial that I thought was very interesting. The commercial depicted a middle aged man (mid 40's) preparing for a job interview with his wife/daughter. He was nervous and anxious but naturally his newly grown hair thanks to Rogaine gave him the confidence he needed to succeed. He comes back home from his job interview and the family rejoices, all thanks to Rogaine. The reason this commercial made me think twice was because it was so clear who the target audience was. Usually with commercials it takes a little bit of detective work to figure out who the product is targeting but not in this case. In a age when unemployment rates are very high middle aged men are getting laid off quite frequently. These men's confidence has been shaken but Rogaine will be there to restore it. Have you noticed any other products that are trying to benefit from the current economic situation?
