Lexus: New technology and new ideas. (Topic 2)


Lexus is all about luxury and new ideas. As they were looking at the new year, and how they could get their new car line "in front of the masses," they took a leap into new technology. Lexus teamed up with a company called VNTANA, which makes hologram programs. The next step was to decide how, and where to reach their target audience. The company chose sporting venues, such as Staples Center and Madison Square Garden to launch their new program. Spectators would step into a booth, and were able to customize their vehicle and themselves on the scene in front of them. To add to the experience, Lexus created a holographic basketball game to really tap into the desires of their audience. In the end, Lexus announced that their campaign was successful at increasing "dealership traffic."

The key of this article and campaign, was that you have to give people a reason to remember your name. Just sponsoring a game, and getting a really big sign is not enough these days. Lexus worked with new technology so that their name, and their product could be remembered. They didn't create a experience just pushing their product, by creating a basketball game they stepped outside their own realm and into that of their customers.

Lush- "Missing the mark"

Lush has a lot of factors working in their favor. Their products, most recognizable being the Lush "bath bombs," are colorful, vibrant, and totally "snap- worthy." Their other products, which include shampoo bars, facial cleansers, lip balm, and even deodorant- are all made with the environment and sustainability in mind. As a company, they are really up to some very unique and remarkable things! To name a few, instead of tradition gift wrapping in their stores, they offer a "knot wrap" that can be reused to wrap other gifts, or even worn as an accessory. You can also turn in five of their plastic containers from face masks, to receive a totally free one in return! As stated on their website, they then chip the recycled containers down and reuse them. Their instagram is filled with original content and vibrant photos. The best part of their social media platforms however, is that they feature real people, doing real things. As you scrol

Topic 1: Social Listening-Thread Wallets

Image
I recently purchased a key lanyard for both my best friend and I from a company called Thread Wallets . I received them in the mail today- and was really impressed by their quality, and with the timing of this assignment I figured it was a perfect opportunity to see what others thought of this brand! What does this company have going for them you might ask? They have truly captured their market- kids and young adults who are so over carrying a bulky and heavy purse or wallet with them. Thread Wallets products are usable and practical for anyone who is waiting to minimize what they carry around with them. The phone cases, have a attached slot for cash or cards, making it perfect for a light load. Their wallets, are small, compact, and slim. Just enough room for the necessary belongings, but without all the bulk. I chose to look at twitter and see what people were saying about this brand and their products-I have attached those tweets below. When scrolling through twitter, I saw not

About Me!

To be totally honest, I enrolled in this course for the same reason I enroll in most courses- to fulfill a graduation requirement. However, I know that as an individual in business, I know that this course will be very helpful to my career. While I am not a business marketing major, I am a business management major. I want to start my own property management company, and also expand my family's storage unit business. When it comes to marketing, I am most interesting in learning how to grasp customers attention. What can I do to stand out in this world of so much STUFF? Outside of college, I am very passionate about my friends! I am a people person, and I love to meet new people and grow relationships with my friends.
