The New Pairing...

This post is a quickie...

I just wanted to give HEB credit for being innovative on their way of moving products across categories.

All you do is buy a the 'big' ticket item of the week, usually meat, and they'll throw in the buns, mustard, and chips (all their brand of course).

Anyway, this is perfect during this economic situation, they are not 'rolling back,' they are giving you something for free.

It's a good idea to mention that based on research, it has been said that those that advertise (or give something) during economic downturns see an increase in loyalty and purchase intent...

    I heard a spot on the radio one morning for a meal deal with BBQ brisket. I love brisket, so I decided to check it out later that afternoon on my grocery run to HEB. As I pushed my cart through the store, I noticed the refrigerated section that housed this meal deal at the end of one of the aisles. For a split second I got excited, until I questioned, "what in the world am I going to do with all this meat!?" It was quite obvious that the brisket was not meant to feed one female college student but rather a family of four or maybe a brisket-eating football player! I quickly scurried on past the display to continue my shopping.

    Nonetheless, I agree that these deals are golden!

    LOL... wow, you were sooo close to buying into the deal ;)

    Nice thinking though, nice thinking!

    A good deal, money wise, might not always be the best deal.

Necessary Brand Extension?

By
As the yogurt wars continue to strengthen, brands are needing to find a stronger point of differentiation and go after stronger niches. While reading something online a couple of days ago, the above ad came up and left me thinking; is this right? Let me begin by saying that I love yogurt and in fact have it for breakfast most often than not. To be quite frank, I have never being a big fan of Yoplait - it's too sweet for my taste. This could very well be the fact that I grew up in Mexico, where yogurt is sour, so in my mind, the more sour it is the more natural. So you might be wondering what brand of yogurt I buy - well it is actually Greek, Fage, and I have to say that I love it. With that said, and given my inquisitive nature, I began asking people if they would buy the Yoplait Greek. Interestingly enough, of those who are currently buying some sort of Greek yogurt, not necessarily Fage said that they wouldn't buy it. Those who consumer Yoplait said that they would definitely...

Consultants: Saving a business but killing your own

By
As I was waiting on gate D3 in the New York LaGuardia airport, and while waiting for a colleague to get her boarding pass out, I couldn’t help but seeing the guy that you see in the picture. Ok, so far, well you’re probably thinking, well, he looks pretty normal, well dressed, sorry, let me rephrase that, is wearing a suit and tie. Now what caught my attention was when he moved to adjust his place on the 50” seat, you could see his gut just coming out… badly! Please understand that it is not that I am super fit, I mean I like to exercise, and I would do it more if I could. Going back to my observation, immediately after thinking “oh man, that guys is pretty chubby, I thought, well, it must be from all of the crap there has to eat at the airports. I decided to observe a couple more people and see if I saw the following trend: 1. Does he look like a business man? a. Based on the attire. I know that many people whom are business man don’t travel with a suit and tie, bu...

We Are Nomads Connected to the World via the Net

By
I was just thinking of the power of the internet and social networking. Just thinking about your life and where you currently are, is this where you are from? Is this where you were born? It seems as if we are constantly moving in order to conquer different things, in order to achieve what we see as our goals. So back to the purpose of this post, social networking. How has the internet changed the way we you life and friends? I mean you can practically move to wherever in the world you want and still have "friends"... or cant you? Has your human contact declined, have you even noticed if it had?
