Phileas Fogg Adventure Story

“This snack reminds me of my most recent trip to the Caribbean, specifically the small island of Haiti. It was quite the experience that I am more than ecstatic to tell you the tale!” 

- Phileas Fogg 

 Phileas Fogg was traveling through the Caribbean from South America during his trip around the world in 80 days, wondering about the newest possibilities of adventures that awaited him. In a few days time he had reached the small island of Haiti. At first glance he thought the island was absolutely breathtaking, from the rich deep greens of the trees and fields, to the pure white beaches that surrounded the island’s coasts. Eager to land his balloon, Phileas noticed a faint roar over the mountains, puffs of black smoke looming mysteriously in the distance. Curiosity taking over him, he decided to see what was happening beyond the horizon. Phileas secretly hoped that it was another adventure waiting for him to take it on headfirst. 

In a blink of an eye, Phileas had suddenly found himself in the middle of a revolution between the Haitian Rebels fighting back for their country and the French Soldiers mercilessly pillaging the people they enslaved on the island. Before he could react properly, suddenly he was shot out of the sky by an oncoming cannon ball that had struck his balloon. Phileas came twirling down, crashing in the middle of the battlefield and passed out immediately. A few hours had passed before Phileas came to as he slowly opened his eyes and looked about the room he found himself in. It was a one-room shack with a single bed, a small wooden table with two chairs, an a small pile of clothing on the ground. The room was mostly dim, with only small beams of sunlight flooded through small cracks from the closed windows and door. He could hear the laughter of small children playing outside and the sound of someone frying something. 

Moments later a Haitian woman entered the home carrying a plate of food in one arm while leaving the door open to let in the sunlight. She walked over to Phileas, sitting down on the edge of the bed beside him. He tried to sit up on his own, but the woman helped him sit up carefully, not wanting to further the damage of his injuries he had. Phileas looked her in the eyes, giving her a sincere smile then moving his attention to the plate of food she had. 

“What is that?” he asked in French, making sure she would understand. 

“Fried beef and Bun-Nun (Fried Plantains). Here, eat.” she smiled, handing him the plate. Phileas graciously accepted it and began eating. Taking a bite of the Bun-Nun first, his eyes grew wide with surprise then delight. 

“This is delicious. Thank you my dear. I must know the recipe. Will you show me?” he asked.

“Finish your food, rest a bit more, and I would be more than happy to show you.” she said, giving him a warm grin.

Week 9 EOC: "Three Great Mission Statements"

The three Business Mission Statements that I have chosen from other classmates that I believe were well done were by Demaja Chantelle Washington, Tiffany Alejandra Quezada, and Derrick D. Lott. 

http://demajamarketing.blogspot.com/search?updated-max=2015-12-04T16:57:00-08:00&max-results=7

 Starting off with Demaja, including the others, they all explain the meaning of what exactly is a Mission Statement that every company should have. Because of Demaja's example, I think that I might change some things around in my post to make it more understandable and appealing. I enjoyed their description of their product that they are working on. They haven't exactly mentioned what their snack is going to be, but I love what they wrote about how you can experience a home-cooked taste with one snack, and the taste of travel with another. Also mentioning the purpose of the snack is to bring people closer together, and I really appreciate that. 

http://heytiffff.blogspot.com/search?updated-max=2015-12-04T18:00:00-08:00&max-results=7

 Next up is Tiffany with her Mission Statement. What I enjoyed about her mission statement was the explanation of what the snack is and where it will be coming from. Knowing the different cultures of where everyone’s snack will be from shows the diversity of the class’s mindset. Also her use of descriptive vocabulary gives the reader/customer a vivid idea as to what her company’s goal is to achieve. The 100% tag line is definitely my favorite part of her entire mission statement because she values the customer’s wants and needs by using,“… the process of developing and maintaining a strategic fit between the organization’s goals and capabilities, and its changing marketing opportunities.” (Marketing: An Introduction 10t Edition page. 42) 

http://boxxboi.blogspot.com/search?updated-max=2015-11-20T20:51:00-08:00&max-results=7 

Lastly is Derrick’s Mission Statement. I like how he comes up with the questions of who would buy his beef jerky and why, while also trying to make it into something unique. He also states that when his customers try his product, his company will definitely take into consideration of what his customers think about the product and what can be approved.

Implementation Evaluation Control

"The process that turns marketing strategies and plans into marketing actions in order to accomplish strategic marketing objectives." (Marketing: A Introduction 10th Edition page. 57) And the one and only way to work with Implementation Evaluation is by making sure you do the research and use it properly. 

"Planning good strategies is only a start toward successful marketing. A brilliant marketing strategy counts for little if the company fails to implement it properly." (Marketing: A Introduction 10th Edition page. 57) It is part of the company's Business Mission Statement to do all that it can in its power to do great in the marketplace by gaining customer value. Customer Value is what will make or break any company. 

"...marketing planning addresses the what and why of marketing activities, implementation addresses the who, where, when, and how." (Marketing: A Introduction 10th Edition page. 57) The revamped Phileas Fogg brand always takes in the factors of who, where, when, and how for its products.

Price

Money is never the goal. Do everything right (making happy and loyal customers), then money will follow. As an example," Marketing is the process by which companies create value for customers and build strong customer relationships in order to capture value from customers in return." (Marketing: An Introduction 10th Edition page. 4) That is my main goal for this product. I never want to have money as the top priority. If that was ever the case, this business would crumble onto itself before it could build itself up. 

"The amount of money charged for a product or service, or the sum of the values that customers exchange for the benefits of having or using the product or service." (Marketing: An Introduction 10th Edition page. 275) I would like to start selling my product in stores and outdoor markets because I know that is where most sales are made in my target market areas. Then once they gain enough traction, i could bring them into bars. In store prices would be around $5.99 for a regular bag. $4.99 for a smaller bag. And for larger bags (family-sized) would be around $7.99. In bar prices would be a minimum of $8.99. Even though the prices are just a little higher than I would like, the quality of the product makes up for it.

Promotion

It is important that I promote the Fried Plantains so that I may be able to use the most of the money from the sales to go on with the charity that goes along with the company."Sales promotion is the most short-term of the promotion mix tools. Whereas advertising or personal selling says “buy,” sales promotions say “buy now.” "(Marketing: An Introduction 10th Edition page. 430) If I promote instead of advertising like personal selling and sales, I will be able to get the message of family and charity across more effectively.

"Finally, consumers have become more deal oriented. In the current economy, consumers are demanding lower prices and better deals. Sales promotions can help attract today’s more frugal consumers." (Marketing: An Introduction 10th Edition page. 430) I will definitely be making the product available for anyone to enjoy. Especially since in my target market countries, not everyone in those countries can afford and expensive snack with great ingredients.

Distribution

"For the most part, companies are legally free to develop whatever channel arrangements suit them. In fact, the laws affecting channels seek to prevent the exclusionary tactics of some companies that might keep another company from using a desired channel." (Marketing: An Introduction 10th Edition page. 327) Caribbean, South America, and Southern Asia will start off as my only places to distribute my product. Then once the product has gained momentum in popularity, I will branch it out to other regions and produce an even larger profit and charity fund. This will also prevent other companies of a similar product to make as much of a profit as mine.

"Many producers and wholesalers like to develop exclusive channels for their products. When the seller allows only certain outlets to carry its products, this strategy is called exclusive distribution." (Marketing: An Introduction 10th Edition page. 327) This will be the initial plan in the beginning. Because I believe that it would be best, marketing-wise, to sell in only a few places first, than to try and sell world wide with a large budget and not making a dime.

Product

"Anything that can be offered to a market for attention, acquisition, use, or consumption that might satisfy a want or need." (Marketing: An Introduction 10th Edition page. 208) With the Fried Plantains, I want them to satisfy both wants and needs. Reason being for the want is the savory flavor of the snack that will leave you wanting a refreshing beverage. And the need of wanting a taste of a home-cooked meal with ease, while also knowing your money is being used to help feed another person. 

"Product is a key element in the overall market offering. Marketing-mix planning begins with building an offering that brings value to target customers. This offering becomes the basis upon which the company builds profitable customer relationships." (Marketing: An Introduction 10th Edition page. 208) Because family value is one of the main objectives with the brand, I would very much like to push for the message of quality time spent with your family and friends. Because for some, if not most, family can be the only thing that matters and/or is all that you may have. Everyone deserves the love and warmth of family. 

Example of sizing and how many to put in:

http://www.amazon.com/Jack-Links-Jerky-Original-1-5-Ounce/dp/B001SIRU42

Target Market Stategy

Because my main target market is in the Caribbean, South America, and Southern Asia, this product will be perfect for the consumers because the product is exactly what they would be looking for from the actually side dish. Again, I am basing my product on Fried Plantains which is an extremely popular side dish/snack in these regions."Targeting also benefits consumers—companies serve specific groups of consumers with offers carefully tailored to their needs." (Marketing: An Introduction 10th Edition page. 192), which is exactly what this product strives to be. A quick snack that will remind you of a home-cooked meal.

"Smart targeting helps companies to be more efficient and effective by focusing on the segments that they can satisfy best and most profitably." (Marketing: An Introduction 10th Edition page. 192) When using the logic from the quote, I will be able to make the product more appealing to my target audience by adding bits and pieces of said target market’s culture in the look of the brand, and also the taste of the culture as well. That way the customer never gets tired of the taste. Not only that, but by adding those unique flavors from the different countries, branding those tastes to different places will broaden the company and make a huge profit. Giving customers from a variety of backgrounds a taste of another’s culture.

Situation or SWOT Analysis

In order for me to have a booming business, I need to acknowledge my SWOT Analysis carefully in order to help grow the business hopefully in a rapid pace. By knowing the SWOT, I have to apply,"An overall evaluation of the company’s strengths (S), weaknesses (W), opportunities (O), and threats (T)." (Marketing: An Introduction 10th Edition page. 54) When I have those attributes mastered, it will be easy for me to take in and take out any issue I would have. 

"The goal is to match the company’s strengths to attractive opportunities in the environment, while eliminating or overcoming the weaknesses and minimizing the threats." (Marketing: An Introduction 10th Edition page. 54) Listening to feedback would also help with the analysis.

Objectives

1. To promote the product nationally, then move on to internationally. 

 2. To give a free meal to everyone in Haiti (including other Third-World countries) with every purchase of the product. 

 3. For anyone who buys the product to learn more about the amazing culture that Haiti has. More representation. 

 4. For the consumer to enjoy the snack while knowing that they are doing good in the world. 

 An objective is,"A brand’s value proposition is the set of benefits or values it promises to deliver to consumers to satisfy their needs." (Marketing: An Introduction 10th Edition pg. 9) which is what my company will strive to do. Customer value is absolute key for success. And if I want the world to know more about Haiti and to aid them, it is important for me to always keep this in mind. 

"Objectives for trade promotions include getting retailers to carry new items and more inventory, buy ahead, or promote the company’s products and give them more shelf space." (Marketing: An Introduction 10th Edition pg. 433) By doing this strategy, it will allow me to gain strong relationships with the retailers by being on good terms and gaining free advertisement by word and social media.

Business Mission Statement

"Every bag of Phileas Fogg's Fried Plantain Chips sold, a meal will be provided for every child and adult in Haiti, including any other Third World country."

 Our business is about selling exotic snacks from around the world to around the world. The customers are mainly those in Haiti, but we also target our marketing towards all of the Caribbean, South America, and Southern Asia. And if the company is able to sell worldwide, than that is a bonus. One of the main goals to achieve for the business is to promote the memories of spending time with your family, enjoying a great home-cooked meal. Including,” the process of developing and maintaining a strategic fit between the organization’s goals and capabilities, and its changing marketing opportunities.” (Marketing: An Introduction 10th Edition page. 42) Because Fried Plantains are a very popular side dish, and can even be a dessert, many people will enjoy the savory (or sweet) flavors of the banana that will promote the feeling of happiness and the enjoyment of company by your friends and loved ones. Not only that, but our brand also promotes helping out those in need, regardless of who they may be. As a Haitian American, when I was younger I have always wanted to help out anyone that I could, even if they didn’t need the help at the time. But because I am in a position of power to lend a hand to anyone who is hungry or thirsty, I can do it with ease with the brand. Diversification is key with this product since it is based on real life food from a wide variety of cultures in the world. Because Diversification is,“ a strategy for company growth through starting up or acquiring business outside the company’s current products and markets.” (Marketing: An Introduction 10th Edition Chapter 2)

Pitch

For the final assignment for Marketing, we are supposed to remake an older snack brand from 1982 called Phileas Fogg. It was quite popular in its time with exotic snacks from around the world, including a letter from Phileas Fogg himself about his adventure in whichever country the snack is based off of. But, due to being bought out from a larger corporation, the brand has been turned into an ordinary potato chip brand. Losing the spark that was Phileas Fogg snacks, it is up to the class to make it great again. Since we had the option of choosing which snack and country for the assignment, I have personally chosen Haiti as my country using Fried Plantains as my snack of choice. Reason being is because I knew for a fact that no one else in the class would choose this country cause of the lack of representation it has. Plus, being a Haitian American myself I wanted to brand out one of my favorite childhood snacks. Knowing that I am not the only one that has this feeling towards this type of islander food. And what better ways to share this delight than to market it around the world? 

Not only will people enjoy the savory snack that is Fried Plantains, an already popular food in the Caribbean, South America, and Southern Asia, it will bring representation to Haiti and its wonderful people and culture. "Each culture contains smaller subcultures, or groups of people with shared value systems based on common life experiences and situations. Subcultures include nationalities, religions, racial groups, and geographic regions." (Marketing: An Introduction 10th Edition page. 137) That is one of my main goals with this project. Others include fun history facts about the country, the sensation of a great home cooked meal in one package, and to also have some proceeds go to said country(s) to help the people with any issues that they may need help with financially. Even if there is the possibility that this product may not make the sales I would like for it to have, more than anything I would like to have my message be spread across the world that is the beauty of Haiti and its people.

Week Six EOC: "Me X Three"

Three items that define who I am as a person would be my Clarinet, Drawing Tablet, and Art supplies. We’ll start off with the Clarinet. When I was in the sixth grade I joined the Band, and my instrument of choice was the Clarinet. Now that I think about it, I honestly don’t remember why I chose that instrument. Maybe I thought that it would be one of the easiest to learn. (I was wrong ha-ha.) But it wasn’t until a year later that I would own one for myself instead of renting one at school. My mother bought it for me on my birthday, on one condition: to stick to band up until my senior year in high school so that her money didn’t go to waste. Luckily for her I absolutely loved band and ended up being one of the best players in both middle school and high school.

 Next up is my Drawing Tablet. Bought it in 2013 I believe. It was around that time when I was just beginning my freshman year in college and was introduced to making digital art on my own. I bought it for around $99 (with my mother’s money of course), and started drawing with it immediately. It was a huge obstacle at first, and being self-taught made it more difficult. But with enough time and practice I’ve become more comfortable with it and have made some of my best pieces because of it. 

Last are my Traditional Art Supplies. Regular plain white paper with any pencil or pen were the only tools that I had for drawing, and for years at a time too. But back then that was more than enough to start pushing myself to become the artist that I am today.

Week Five EOC: "Social Networks and Job Hunting"

As the title states, in the modern age of technology it is becoming more and more common for employers to search for qualified workers through social media. By doing so, this gives traditional job boards a run for their money while newer employers are scouting massive social networks such as Facebook for example. In a 2011 study it stated that, "Candidates have been 50% more likely to apply to positions they found through Facebook than through other means..." (Job Recruiters Turn To Facebook To Find Candidates; The Wall Street Journal) Since the study, Facebook accounts that are for hiring made up only 1% at the time. But that didn't stop the trend from growing and spreading rapidly. Another trend that seems to be going on is recruiters hiring customers and turning them into influential brand ambassadors for their companies. 

They only choose those who are fully dedicated to their product(s) and have decent-sized social groups. Once they do, the companies place them into training programs and give them the latest technology, merchandise, and any other items that the ambassadors will need to promote. Companies such as JetBlue, Sony, Microsoft, McDonald's, etc. have joined the game. JetBlue has come to the realization that those,"...who are typically thought of as influentials. The best ambassadors, he says, are "friendly, everyday brand loyalists who love to talk to people." (Marketing: An Introduction Chapter 5 page 144) And this is them talking about their young adult brand ambassadors. In all honesty, I would not mind one bit if I could go for a position like this for a company or brand that I love. If I had the opportunity, I would probably go for one that was food relate. Oh, my goodness that would fantastic. Especially if one of the perks would be able to travel for free, just for food tasting.

Week Four EOC: "New App"

The assignment was to come up with a new app for smart phones that would be beneficial to both myself and to the world. It took me a while to come up with an original idea, seeing as how there are practically hundreds of thousands of different apps that have already been created. But I did manage to come up with one idea. Since nowadays if you are someone with a phone that can access the internet/handle apps, you are more than likely using your phone 24/7. Whether you're using it for business or personal reasons, you expect your phone to be charged, have unlimited uses, and reliable whenever you may need it. But that isn't the case for most people.  As a solution, I thought that having an app that could tackle the challenges and relieve your worries in just one quick fix. 

An app that allows you unlimited minutes and access to the internet, being connected to the U.S. Satellite, while also preserving your battery life for an abounding amount of time. It would be called, "Conserve Suite". The app will be a free communication service including Wi-Fi, no matter where you may be, and a special optimizing feature that will conserve you battery life for long periods of time. If this app were real, I would download it in a heartbeat. Knowing from past experiences, having and phone with even a basic plan can be so expensive and challenging to keep up with the payments. As someone who doesn't always have the means to pay for something, an app like the Conserve Suite would definitely lift a load off of my shoulders. You never know when you will need a phone in an emergency and not having the minutes or connection to make a simple phone call.

Week Three EOC: "Making Money for Good"

Hand in Hand is one of the many organizations in the world that is a successful for-profit organization that gives partial or full proceeds to third-world countries. “By directly tying charitable donations to the sale of an everyday product, Hand in Hand is able to give soap and clean water to those in need and save lives without depending on a single donation."( http://www.handinhandsoap.com/pages/about-us) For every bar or bottle of soap bought, Hand in Hand donates a bar of soap and a month of clean water to a child in need worldwide. By doing so, Hand in Hand has made a huge impact in third-world countries. I know from personal experience, including my mother’s childhood experiences due to her growing up in Haiti (a third-world country), that preserving water doesn’t last long, and you make do with what you’re given. And with Hand in Hand providing these kind of benefits to people in need around the world makes me happy.

 Another charitable for-profit organization would be Baby Teresa. “For each baby outfit purchased on Baby Teresa, an outfit is donated to another child. The company also donates a portion of their accessories sales to provide baby formula in orphanages.” (http://baby-teresa.com/about-us/) By providing extra clothing for orphans, it gives the orphanages one less thing to worry about when finding the right home for those children. The last organization that I will mention will be Roma Boots. “Our Mission: "Giving poverty the boot" by bringing children from around the world hope, love and lasting change through aid and education. For you. For all.” (http://romaboots.com/pages/roma-faqs) Not only does Roma boots donate a pair, they fill it with school supplies to a child in need. Furthering the impact of education for future generations to come. That is something definitely worth while in the long run.

Week Three EOC: "My Demographics"

''Millennials (or Generation Y): The 83 million children of the baby boomers, born between 1977 and 2000.'' (Marketing: An Introduction, 10th Edition; Ch. 3 pg. 73) I was born in 1995, which makes me a Millennial. As a Millennial I share many characteristics that anyone within my age group may most likely have in common to one another. Some examples include being tech savvy, being able to vote in upcoming elections, recovering from the recession caused by Baby Boomers, and so on. Because of the outcomes caused by Baby Boomers, I have had to grow up quite fast and learn ways on how to fix and adjust to current issues in present times.

For example: Because of the recession caused by Baby Boomers, it is up to Millennials to think of solutions to fix the economy, not just nationally, but worldwide. And it doesn’t help that those who caused most of today’s issues try to set you back in the past, not wanting the future to be controlled by upcoming generations, than to let us push forward to a brighter and better future for everyone. Although, recent studies report that, "Twenty years from now, the Baby Boom generation will be dying off rapidly. Yes, it will happen somewhat gradually, but not too gradually." (http://www.fortmorgantimes.com/ci_20010202?source=mostpopular) Once that happens, it is up to Generation X and mainly the Millennials to enact resolutions for the future.

As rude as this may sound, and I do apologize in advance, I’m actually looking forward to this. Reason why, is because all of my life I have had to deal with the nonsense and obstacles that Baby Boomers as a whole have created. Racism and prejudice against people of color, lgbtq+ people, people with disabilities and mental illnesses, basically anyone who doesn’t fit society’s “norm”. As a Millennial, it’s finally our turn to do something for the better of current and future generations, than to be stuck in a horrid black and white past.

Week Two EOC: "Boston Consulting Group - Video Games"

Dozens of trends have gained spotlight in the Video Game Industry over the past few years. Such as the rise of popularity of Indie games, YouTube Gamers and Let’s Plays, with women and people of color adding more diversity to the market. All of these trends have one thing in common:  a mixture between Cash Cows and Stars, referencing the Boston Consulting Group. The reason why I have come to this conclusion is because each trend has a High-Growth, but a Low-Share business. To further explain, I’ll start off with Indie games. “It's important to keep this in mind, as a really good game can be a financial failure if it was done for the wrong platform. ”(http://www.gamasutra.com/view/feature/132041/the_state_of_indie_gaming.php?print=1 ) Because nowadays Indie games are becoming more accessible to the public, due to the push of Let’s Players, has given independent animators and game developers a growing following to help create more games for the public. Thus allowing the genre to grow, but not have a steady market because of some of the platforms that they used.

            Speaking of Let’s Players, their popularity has begun to skyrocket in the last three to five years, creating large communities on YouTube and Twitch. It’s become such a huge deal lately, that YouTube launched a Gaming Stream site for just the gaming community Fall of 2015. "It's like the MTV moment for the music industry--suddenly you have to have something that is enjoyable to watch... specifically aiming their games at YouTuber's."
(http://www.theguardian.com/technology/2015/jul/23/16-trends-that-will-change-the-games-industry) And finally: "... we'd love to see more diversity in the business of video game creation... As awareness grows, I have no doubt we'll see more smart, creative, and innovative woman rising in the industry." (http://www.bigfishgames.com/blog/2015-global-video-game-stats-whos-playing-what-and-why/)  Now that more woman and people of color are speaking up about the lack of diversity after the Gamer Gate incident, the industry is making a change for the better by hiring more female creators, listening to more feedback, and being more open minded to the concept.

Week One EOC: "Great Customer Service"

A great customer experience that I had was back in 2012 for my second anime convention here in Las Vegas. I attended the previous year, being my first con. I had such a blast my first time. Seeing all of the amazing cosplays, meeting my favorite voice actors, attending hilarious panels, and the massive Artist Alley where you could purchase all sorts of merchandise from different fandoms. Since I had such a great time, I wanted to make sure that I would be able to attend the next year.  When you purchase your pass for any convention, you need to buy them online and pre-order if you can. The first time I bought my pass I made sure to pre-order because it was such a reasonable price. As I pre-ordered my pass for the second year, everything was placed and ready to go. 

     You’re supposed to receive your confirmation email and letter in the mail within a week or two. But after a month of not seeing my letter, even though I had the email to prove I bought it, I called the Head of Registration to sort things out. In the beginning, it was difficult to get in contact with him. Especially due to the cons date closing in. It was understandable, but I was worried I wouldn’t get to go. A few weeks before the con, I received a call from the Head of Registration, explaining to him what had happened and that I had definitely paid for the pass. He reassured me that he would sort everything out, that I had nothing to worry about, and to expect the letter in the mail by the end of the week. True to his word, I received the letter and was able to attend the convention. “Good customer relationship management creates customer delight. In turn, delighted customers remain loyal and talk favorably to others about the company and its products.” (Marketing: An Introduction for Education Management Corporation; Ch. 1 Pg. 21)

Week One EOC: "My Voice"

I am an Animator. Telling stories through my artwork is what I strive for. Around a few years ago, I never imagined myself to be a professional artist, let alone an animator. But by being exposed to the endless possibilities of being able to express my creativity through my art has changed my perspective. Knowing that I can make an impact with my art, whether it is positive or negative, has given me the confidence to pursue further into my field. Character Design, Concept Art, and Illustrating, with 2D and 3D Animation is what I am best at so far. Bringing life to something from nothing is an amazing feeling and experience. I try my best to achieve my goals and further my knowledge and skills so that I may portray my dedication and hard work to the masses. Even if it means that I would work on something for weeks, even months at a time, only to produce even a few minutes of animation. As long as I am able to entertain and bring happiness to those who considered to watch my work, then that is more than enough for me in the time being. I would love to make a difference with not only my art, but with other creative minds to make something new and exciting for future generations.
