ehh… Marketing 3321 has a game called, wait for it, The Marketing Game that we play once a week. A simplified marketing simulation, the class is divided into teams of 4, a firm, and four teams are grouped in an industry. I luckily chanced to be placed in Industry A on Firm 1 (A1) which is really good cause otherwise I’d likely have forgotten which team I’m on.
happy to report though, that after 3 weeks of the simulation my team is kicking ass! We’ve managed to snag 44% of the gross sales in the industry and (as far as I can tell) are the only team with a target market already picked out. Everyone else keeps butting heads with each other and changing targets only to find that everyone else has changed to the same market as well.
Yesterday after school I filled up at $3.399/gal. This morning (when it was snowing) regular unleaded was $3.599/gal. This evening, once the snow stopped, prices fell back down to $3.519/gal. interesting…
