Something I learned about not long ago was Google advertising. 5 months ago I started an online magazine for the triad called "contagiouslifestyle.com". I was looking at Google one day and they offer a way for your site to advertise Google and get paid. It is called AdSense. Google AdSense matches ads to your site's content, and you earn money whenever your visitors click on them. Contagious Lifestyle offers Entertainment, Fashion, Health, Local News, Classified, and now Real Estate and Automotive. I put Google AdSense on our Fashion page and Google advertises Retail stores such as Saks and Adam+Eve. As I learned about this new product, I decided to sign up and put Google on my site. Now, every time someone clicks on that Google ad, I get a percent of that and they send me a check in the mail.
I just signed up for this about a month ago so I have not yet received a check, but I will keep you updated.

Pepsi
A company's marketing and/or advertising campaign can affect a company either positive or negative, therefore it is crucial in trying to decide what you need to do to make your product better.
Pepsi for instance has been around for years and have experienced both gains and loses. They decided to switch things up and make pepsi clear. This was no good for pepsi. People felt as if they were drinking water and pepsi sales dropped tremendously. The greatest advertising idea that Pepsi ever had was the-Pepsi Challenge. This showed people on the streets tasting both pepsi and coke and people were choosing pepsi over coke including die hard coke fans and famous people as well. This helped pepsi steadily increase their sales. As for Pepsi changing the color of their drink, it was worth a shot but people are set in their ways when it comes to food. The color of food/drink is important which is why most food is dyed to satisfy its customers.
When they did the Pepsi Challenge, I thought this was extremely clever because it shows people picking their product over their biggest competitor, Coke. Also, if famous people drink pepsi, this makes others want to as well.
