Marketing Strageties

In the past week I have been exposed to many different marketing strategies. As a consumer, you understand how each company has their own unique marketing strategy. For example, I went to a retail store the other day at the mall and there strategy is to approach customers and to explain all the deals they have. When I walked in to the store two employees approached me and started to talk about the deals they have. The two girls were also complementing me on my clothing attire and asked me how my day was. Retail stores make their employees be interactive with their customers and make sure they explain their daily current deals. As a consumer, sometimes it could get annoying when the workers are consistently trying to talk to you. Usually when I walk into the store I don't want to be followed or always asked questions, although a nice greeting is acceptable. I feel like magazine advertising is weak, because it’s hard to look at a product when it’s in a magazine. Also, when you see clothes in a magazine it’s hard to know if you like the material or how it would fit.
