Week 3 Blog Assignment DUE 11/30

Sports and Entertainment Marketing

So Torii Hunter is history as a Twin and is now an Angel. Do some research (at least two sources) as to how this will affect the twins in the long run. I'm looking for both how it will affect the team's structure and the money generating power of the twins. Can it be made up with a new stadium? The columnists were abuzz with this subject all weekend, so you should find plenty to talk about!! Your goal should be to read a few articles and affectively put together some great information you can share with the class. Make sure to label your assignment and list your sources!!

Advertising

Do a little research (at least three sources) on how alcohol and tobacco advertising has changed in the last 30 or so years. What regulations have changed what products can be advertised on different media. Pictures will ad to your discussion. You should EASILY be able to get 1 good page of information. DO NOT COPY AND PASTE. With three required sources, you will need to put your thoughts in your own words. Be descriptive and complete...but most of all have fun with this interesting topic.


E-Commerce
So the day after Thanksgiving (Black Friday) has come and gone. More shoppers were out shopping than ever before (I know, I was there!!) but they are spending less. Check out the article below about cyber monday, the day most shoppers will supposedly be shopping online. Is it hype or the truth. Read the article and give me your thoughts in 5-6 sentences. This is an easy blog, so I will expect all of you to turn this in!! Don't forget to label your assignment.
