In Response to Drew's Post About Regulations

Personally as a consumer it I believe that regulations are a good thing. Without having regulations things would be complete and utter chaos. Almost all industries would be allowed to advertise and display false information. The Food and Drug Administration is a must in my eyes because what people put in their bodies is extremely important. Having false nutrition and ingredient information could be potentially dangerous. All regulations that our used today are needed because they protect the safety of the people.

Don't you think a world without regulations would be chaos?

Flash Mobs

A form of promotion and advertising that has really taken off recently because it is super catchy and fun is...Flash Mobs! This is when a group of people assemble suddenly in a public place and perform some funky dance to grab peoples attention. These gatherings have been done quite frequently, but recently they are being done to promote businesses. The reason why I believe this idea works is because it grabs the attention of many different people and is not a form of advertising that is seen everyday! Companies that have experiemented with this technique are T- Mobile, AT&T, and Budweiser. All these companies have nothing, but wonderful things to say about this technique because it is new and fresh!

Is a flash mob an effective form of advertising?
