Great post Pamela. I would agree that Yeti has taken a generic functional product and transformed it into an innovative product. Yeti has definitely made a brand image for itself. Even with their competitor’s cheaper products, Yeti is still dominating the market in this area. Back in December 2015, when I used to work at a sporting goods store, I remember the craze for Yeti cups. They were always on backorder and were always getting sold out. I remember when I used to get shipments of Yeti cups in, as soon as I pull them out the box to restock, customers would by multiple cups at one time. The need for a Yeti cups for a holiday gift during that time was so much in demand, that I had customers trying to bribe me and other coworkers with money
While many manufacturers are focused on driving the price of their product down, Yeti is focused on issues such as extending the ice life inside of a customer’s cup and making sure that their lids are 100% leak proof (“Frequently asked questions”, n.d.). According to Saporito (2016), price is a large factor in the Yeti appeal, this is demonstrated when he states. “Yeti is the Range Rover of cold. Its overbuilt Sherpa coolers hit the market in 2006 priced between $250 and $300 a pop, an astounding premium--"10X," as Roy likes to label it--over the average Igloo or Coleman” (para. 4). The pricing appeal of the Yeti is consistent with most luxury items sold, the consumer associates a higher price with a greater quality product. Promotion of the Yeti brand is done through various avenues, but their most successful marketing has come from customer testimonials and YouTube videos that demonstrate their products strengths (Cooper, 2013). Hence, a more authentic feel is demonstrated from the customer reviews. Finally, the placement of the Yeti brand is found in locations where those who spend a lot of time outdoors frequent (Saporito, 2016). The marketing angle was first toward the rural feed stores but then quickly transitioned to large outdoors chains to gather the outdoor sports market (Saporito, 2016). Marketing is an ever evolving field, just as the four P’s have changed, so must Yeti’s
Our marketing plan is directed to a niche market which is beneficial for our company and our product line. There is a specific target market that we are confident we can provide for and initiate new product lines that can handle weathering from the elements. YETI can be viewed as a necessity, meaning that the more disposable income an individual has, the more YETI product purchases. Consumers that normally would never spend as much as $400 on a cooler are now also purchasing YETI coolers due to constant exposure to YETI products and the perceived benefits of owning our products. YETI also has the ability and opportunity to reach untapped markets overseas, as our products can be used by anyone that has a need to keep perishables cold for an extended period of time.

So considering the inevitability of the soft-serve machine’s presence, the change has been a positive one. In practical matters of health and sanitation, the soft-serve machine makes sense; in matters of fun and enjoyment, it has introduced successful creative and artistic options. State College's hard ice cream lovers may never fully recover from the loss of the ice cream scoop. But I think that even the most determined scoop advocate will soon be as enamored by the new system as they were by the old. After all, cream is ice cream. And we all scream for ice cream.

A watch is a small timepiece intended to be carried or worn by a person. Watches were first worn by military men towards the end of the 19th century to synchronize manoeuvres during war without potentially revealing the plan to the enemy through signaling. Commonly, watches are appreciated as jewelry or collectible works of art rather than just as timepieces.
