1. The process was fun and quicker than I expected. I thought of some fairly good questions that I thought were good for everyone and that everyone would be able to answer. Overall the research was fairly quick and getting to use the google forms was pretty easy to figure out and I thought it was a good experience because I got to learn how to use it.

2. My survey compared to others in my group was I have to say pretty similar but in a few ways it was different. I had a different layout for my survey with a different backdrop and different styled questions. I Also had questions that were different and the differences were that I focused on what gyms would specifically fit certain people and others in my group targeted different topics for their survey.

3. My demographics question did not help me understand my results. The reason for this was simply that almost everyone had the same demographics. So in the long run of the survey results it did not really help me understand my results any better.

4. Yes, my survey results have told me a lot about my topic. Some things I have learned is that most people wear Nike clothing. I also learned that equipment is most important to the majority of people. Lastly I learned that most people eat protein before going to the gym.

5. I got 10 responses on my survey

6. A good project for the class to simulate the apprentice could be trying to sell clothes to people all over the school for one week and whoever makes the most profit wins.

Favorite Music and Team

My favorite music is ACDC. You can see them at Foxboro. They do have company sponsorship. There is no charity related to them. Tickets go from 100-1000 dollars. People can listen to them on the radio or on their phone. They play hard rock.
My favorite team is the Red Sox. You can see them at Fenway Park. Gulf, Mobil, and John Hancock are sponsors of the redsox. tickets go from 50-800 dollars. They give their time to the Jimmy fund. People can support the team by wearing redsox clothing.

case study

            The case study I thought was a great project and taught me lots about how companies run their businesses and make smart marketing decisions to beat out their competitors. One group that really stood out to me was the Nike group. Nike is a huge company with lots of marketing going on in their company. They have a main competitor and they are Adidas. To keep up with Adidas they must come up with new style shoes, shirts, hats, pants and anything else they make to get people to buy new stuff.
              As the group told to us they are a huge company with huge sales. Nike, in order to compete, come out with new things all the time so people will buy their new stuff. Nike does better than Adidas with much more sales but they can't let their guard down. Nike has to continue marketing in order to keep their business strong and make more money.
