WEEK 5 EMARKETING BLOG

 

Consider the headings Monitoring, Updating, Entertainment, and Problem solver. Would you expand the headings from a marketing point of view?

The possibility of adding one heading of 'Navigation' may be beneficial as I don’t believe the use of GPS apps would be included underneath these headings. Mobile phones currently now have the ability to navigate off GPS signals through these new apps. This also could help ensure ease of access for all users.

 

Do you all receive similar updates and are they welcome or not welcome?

 

I often receive emails or notifications from Fantasy Sporting competitions entered, which is accepted as it is a friendly reminder to either check this or information maybe warranting changes. However when you sign up for something for example an online competition your sole purpose to entering is to win something. However the company will gain personal information such as your phone number and email address. At first they may have sent you texts or emails on store specials or updates in which you are eligable for; however unless they are contacting you informing you of winning something I believe they are just annoying.
