Blog 14: Independent Component 1



Literal
a.) I, Gabriela Murillo affirm that I completed my independent component which represent 30 hours of work.
b.) The people that helped me complete the 30 hours of work were my mentors Enrique and Jose Murillo by keeping me busy and helping me observe how exactly do you advertise for a company.
c.) Spreadsheet posted.
Applied
The 30 hours helped me learn a lot more of the resposibility that an advertising manager has when most of the people are depending on you. My mentor gave me an assignment to find an affordable new way to advertise the company. And I did my research and suggested new business cards that has the basic information of the company printed. So far we are waiting for the budget to be at a perfect mark then we will pay the money orders. My mentor and I are working on new ideas that will be coming for the company.

Advertising On My Own

My mentor gave me an assignment and he asked me to go into the advertising industry on my own. Then I went around thinking what exactly am I going to do? Later I found out that my neighbor was instructing a  Zumba class, and she needs as much people as possible. So I came to the rescue and volunteered to make flyers, and later being able to pass them out. So here is so far the flyer that I formatted and made and will pass out when printed....

Everyone welcomed to Zumba until you drop!

Advisory Meeting #2

 
 
EQ: What is the best way a company can increase profit through advertising?

Increasing profit for your company is one of the hardest things but advertising makes it more helpful and another way in increasing profit is creating business cards and ads with the description or information of the company.

3 details to support the answer (a detail is a fact and an example)
  • A company has to get their name known in one way or another, and a business card will provide the companys information. Ex: Company name & number, where they are located, and a little description of they do.
  • Once you've passed out the business card maybe you shall provide an ad of a deal that your company has of any product, so your client can get the overall understanding of what your company provides. Ex: Title of company, picture of the product, despcription, and/or the deal that your company has.
  •  These two things will make your company known for what you do and most likely attract new clients to help increase the profit. Ex: My mentor has really been benefited by these two hings a lot as well as his company.
 The research source (s) to support your details and answer
"Inma" and my mentor helped me create this answer because of actual experiences that have happened. Inma is a website that are written by advertisers starting their own company and how ads has helped them be known worldwide. And I pesonally get to see in an everyay basis the development of my mentors' company.
 
Conclusion Sentence: These two advertisments increase public awareness of a company or product which results in purchases of what your company offers.
