I also found les femmes presentation to be very interesting and eye-opening. They presented a very good argument with a lot of facts and data that i had never heard before. Overall it was a very persuasive argument. #RWS290

I really enjoyed listening to the American Junkies presentation on how they need to lower food prices in order to maximize profits after Covid. I think they did made a great point through their use of data and statistics. Great project overall! #RWS290

The strategies that I noticed when watching Steve Job's speech was his extensive use of visuals and his delayed lead up to the product reveal to build suspense in the crowd. For the whole presentation he is being very personable and creates a connection with the audience #RHUB290

When doing research for the our group project I was able to find this graphic on the number of meal delivery sales over the course of the last 4 years. This shows how much meal delivery is growing and tells me that we should add a delivery service to our restaurant. #RHUB290

After reading the article I was able to learn about ho to analyze data. Something I found that pertains to my group project is that "60% of U.S. consumers order delivery or takeout once a week" which means we should incorporate a delivery service into our business. #RHUB290

My group and I were thinking about doing a recommendation report to our hypothetical restaurant. We could bring up ways to improve marketing and service. We could also bring up new ideas like deliveries or promotions days. #RHUB290

One of the commonalities that I noticed when reading the sample reports was that they are all very concise and straight to the point. They are very easy to follow which keeps the reader from losing interest or focus.#RHUB290

Social media is a great way to advertise your business and get your name out there but it comes with some downsides as well. One downside is that you must be very clear and concise with what you say so it doesn't get misunderstood and keeps the readers attention. #RHUB290

After reading Derek Thompsons article I learned a lot about how to advertise a business effectively. I learned that people around the world prefer familiar shapes, songs, and human voices. This is useful information in advertising a business. #RHUB290

After reviewing the website builder choices I have decided to use WIX over the other sites. There were a few features that stood out to me about WIX such as it's ease to use, the fact that it's free, and the quality of the website itself. It looks very professional. #RHUB290

After looking over these resources I had a few very important takeaways about building a website. I learned that an online presence is crucial to building your brand and creating revenue. Using links and pictures on your website is a good way to make it more user friendly#RHUB290

Something that I found to be very useful for my market research are the business article databases because they make it possible to view hundreds of articles on any topic. I found "A Guide to Market Research" article which will be very helpful in this project. #RHUB290

In the future, I would like to go into business possibly create my own business. If I were to create my own product I would want it to be something that I find interesting. This is why I would love to make a new type of surfboard made from renewable resources. #RHUB290

The audience for my bad letter news will be a potential new employee who has given me his/her resume which doesn't meet our standards. This letter could be directed at any potential employee who doesn't meet our requirements. I then provided information for the future.#RHUB290

After these readings I realized a lot about writing to persuade and how changing the organization and wording of your writing can effect the persuasive appeal of the work as a whole. This ties into resume and cover letter writing very well. #RHUB290

@casey_dilla77 Hey Casey, I can relate to your post because this stood out to me as well. When giving good or bad news you have to be very careful of what you are saying and how it will come across to whoever might be receiving the news. Good and bad news are very similar in this way. #RWS290

[Colin Macleod @ColinMacleod456]

I think there are some major commonalities between giving good and bad news. The "Write For Business" articles have very similar steps which shows how they have their commonalities. This means you need to be very cautious of how you deliver good/bad news. #RHUB290

[Colin Macleod @ColinMacleod456]

Before the readings I didn't realize how important a logo is to the success of a company or business. They can be very useful when creating your business's image and promoting it as well. #RHUB290

[Colin Macleod @ColinMacleod456]

@casey_dilla77 Hey Casey, I enjoyed reading your post that's a great connection. I found it interesting to see Su talk about the things we've discussed in class. I like how Su talks about tailoring your resume to a specific job. #RHUB290

[Colin Macleod @ColinMacleod456]

Jeff Su's video "Top 5 linked in profile tips" was helpful and relevant to what we've been learning. This video taught me how to create a linked in account and why it's important for my future. The video also showed me how to make my linked in profile look professional. #RHUB290
