B Beautiful is thinking of doing a promotion to try and get more
customers so the company will be more known.
B Beautiful - nail bar, specialise in Jessica products. It is a medium
sized shop located in the town centre. The company has come up with an
idea which they will hope to interest more clients.
Types of promotion:
· Informative advertising- the highest spender, this is the
Government. Most of this advertising is aimed at giving information to
the public. New businesses like mine also have to inform customers
that a new business wants to serve them.
· Persuasive advertising- Designed to persuade the public to buy a
particular product e.g. Nail products
· Sales promotion- this is including discounts coupons, free offers
competitions, demonstrations and displays.
· Direct marketing- addressed mailing and telephone
B Beautiful have decided to do a sales promotion where clients have a
basic manicure (priced at £24.00), they get a Jessica nail varnish at
retail price of just £4.65. With this offer they can buy up to however
many nail varnish’s they wish.
The promotion will be set 1st Dec-3rd Jan 2005 as this will convince
more clients to come as it being Christmas and New Year period. A
perfect Christmas gift or even to have lovely manicured nails for the
special occasion.
The costing for the promotion has been carefully worked out.

I have done some research on “flyers” for 1/3 A4 flyers (99 x 210mm),
which are printed out in full colour. All the flyers are printed out
in 250gsm gloss card. The printing company has different options to
choose from e.g. Quantity.

Following through with this fodder transmission theory, the British government introduced compulsory destruction of suspect animals and their carcasses beginning in 1988. The feeding of animal tissue to cows was banned in Britain in July 1988 and since mid-1992, monitors working for the United Kingdom Ministry of Agriculture have recorded a persistent decline in the number of confirmed cases. It is estimated that the program will eradicate BSE in Britain by the end of 1999.
If you had to choose between having Mad Cow Disease or becoming the top scientist in your field, which would you choose? The answer is obvious. Most realize that Mad Cow Disease, i.e. Bovine spongiform encephalopathy, is a fatal disease that has been present among cattle populations in Europe over the past couple decades. In BSE, brain cells begin to die, forming sponge-like holes in the cow’s brain tissue. Evidence shows that consumption of infected cattle could correspond with the contraction of Creutzfeldt-Jakob Disease (CJD), a similar disease in humans. Although few people have been diagnosed with CJD worldwide, they remain fearful of showing symptoms of CJD; commonly resulting in death within a year. For this reason, many Americans panicked when becoming aware that the first case of BSE was discovered in the United States in December of 2003. Unfortunately, the media is quick to show infected cows, distempered and shaking in their stalls, without giving sufficient information of the disease’s origin or the preventative measures being taken to halt its spreading. Before consumers restrict beef intake from their diets they should consider their risks. In America, chances of developing BSE is far slimmer than becoming infected with other food-borne illnesses. Although many Americans were recently startled by a reported case of Mad Cow Disease in the United States, they are assured protection from infection by: consumption of selected meats, closely guarded packaging plants, and regulation in beef imports.
When you think of the internet, usually what first comes to mind is social networking, online marketplaces, and other places that don’t sound that bad. Look deeper and you’ll find that the internet isn’t as nice as you thought it was. This “dark side” of the net is comprised of everything looked down upon in the real world – drugs, weapons, false identities, and even hit men for hire exist in this rough-and-tumble darknet. Not just physical products, but virtual products float around as well; from term papers to file sharing and even e-currency populate this dark area.
Mad cow disease, also knows as BSE (Bovine Spongiform Encephalopathy) is an transferable disease which slowly attacks the brain and nervous system of cattle. There isn’t any cure for the disease. The first case of BSE in Canada was a cow that had been imported from the United Kingdom in 1987 at the age of six months. The animal was destroyed upon the discovery of the disease and the Canadian government banned imports from the United Kingdom. This report relates to unit 4 in terms of the economic and industrial overview of the disease in Canada. This report is on the second discovery of mad cow disease in Canada and how it affected Canada economy and Alberta’s beef industry.
Mad Cow Disease, also known as BSE (bovine spongiform encephalopathy), is a slowly progressive, fatal neurological disorder in cattle that results from infection by a prion. Research indicates that the first probable infection of BSE in cows occurred during the 1970's. BSE possibly originated as a result of feeding cattle meat-and-bone meal that contained BSE-infected products from a spontaneously occurring case of BSE. Evidence suggests that the outbreak spread throughout the United Kingdom cattle industry by feeding prion-infected, bovine meat-and-bone meal to the young calves (Mad Cow Disease Facts). There was strong laboratory evidence between the BSE outbreak in cattle and a human prion disease called variant Creutzfeldt-Jakob disease (vCJD) that was first reported in the United Kingdom (UK) in 1996. The disease is caused by eating beef products contaminated with central nervous system tissue from cattle infected with Mad Cow Disease. It can affect all age groups and is very hard to diagnose until it has nearly run its course. VCJD is fatal, usually within 13 months of the onset of symptoms (The Basics of Mad Cow Disease). The impact Mad Cow Disease and vCJD had in the United Kingdom caused fear worldwide and resulted in major changes to be implemented in the cattle industry.
Our education system faces a myriad of questions. One of which is, what is the main objective of our education system: to graduate students at a high academic standard, to graduate students who can interact socially, or to prepare students wholly in order to become contributing members of society? Parents, school districts, and the government all have their own ideas as to the primary purpose. The means (education) to the end (producing educated citizens) can take many roads or methods. One method goes down the road of social promotion. However, the unpopular practice of social promotion in our schools does not prepare our children academically. It promotes low standards, accepts mediocrity, and gives a false hope of success in a world which is unforgiving towards the uneducated.

What major technology change has had the greatest impact on the quality of your life?
Mad Cow disease, also called bovine spongiform encephalopathy (BSE), is a transmissible disease in cattle, which may be spread to humans through slaughtered meat. It attacks the brain and causes a change in behavior, dementia, and eventually death. This is called the Crutzfeldt-Jakob disease (CJD) (WebMD, n.d.). With confirmed Mad Cow disease, it is necessary to destroy (burn) all animals that may have been near the infection, the disease is marked by rapdid mental deterioration, usually within a few months, and most people laps into a coma. This disease is not curable, however, treatments focus on keeping the person as comfortable and healthy as possible.
Fast Fashion may be the most significant disruptive in the retail industry today. Troublesome novelties, or product or services, that alter an prevailing market by presenting minimalism, suitability, convenience and affordability, have the most positive influence on a company. Because fashion is ever changing and technology is always evolving the amount of production time it takes for something to be manufactured
B2B or business-to-business marketing focuses on sales of products or services from one business to another, such as manufacturers marketing new products to distributors or software companies marketing enterprise resource planning applications to corporations. Although B2B marketing shares some basic principles with marketing to consumers, such as the 4Ps, the execution of the B2B strategies diverges from B2C marketing in a number of ways.
Fast fashion is a term used by fashion retailers to express that designs move from runway quickly in order to capture current fashion trends. Fast fashion clothing collections are based on the most recent fashion trends from both fall and spring fashion week. This fast fashion strategy is currently used by well-known brands such as H&M, Zara, Top shop and many other brands. Fast fashion allows consumers to take advantage of current clothing styles at a lower price because fast fashion trends are designed and manufactured quickly and cheaply. However convenient aspect of fast fashion has been leading to promote consumerism since clothing had become unfashionable and not wearable quickly. Also a lot of these garments are made of unsustainable fabrics, which is a huge threat to our ecosystem. Solution for problems in fast fashion is needed.
Software testing is the “process of executing a software system to determine whether it matches its specification and executes in its intended environment” (Whittaker 71). It is often associated with locating bugs, program defects, faults in the source code, which cause failures during execution that need to be removed from the program. Locating and removing these defects is called debugging, which is different from the testing that establishes the existence of these defects. Specifications are crucial to testing because they identify correct behavior so that software failures corresponding to incorrect behavior can be identified. Failures can vary in their nature ranging from wrong output, system crash to systems using too much memory or executing too slowly. These Bugs in software can be due to untested code executed, u...
Marketing is a fundamental aspect of all businesses, whether they are set out to make a profit, or charitable organisations - they will have to carry out marketing research of some description. It has been described as being, “the management process responsible for identifying, anticipating and satisfying customer requirements profitably.” (Chartered Institute of Marketing) This essay will explore the role of marketing in a marketing oriented business and different aspects of the external environment that a smartphone company should be aware of. The points raised throughout will be supported using relevant journals, textbooks and newspaper articles.
One pays a large amount of money to buy clothes which sometimes does not suit her/him. It is claimed that clothes and accessories that are in trend are generally the most costly. Not to mention the fact that they go out of fashion very quickly. Furthermore, the current vogue for stylish objects has brought social discrimination, especially among the young generation. It is unfair to the poor, who cannot afford the latest products, being discriminated on the grounds of class or money.
