Come on Down!

In the wonderful class of Economics, we did something unique and so much fun!  We were assigned into different groups and were asked to create a radio commercial, TV commercial, and newspaper ad of Weserville in order to attract tourism.  Also through doing this project, we were able to learn about demand and the 6 factors that can change it.  The factors are income, market size, consumer tastes, consumer expectation, substitute goods, and complementary goods.  I really believed everyone did a fantastic job with their campaigns.  My favorite was the commercial that we chose from Group 5.  I thought out of all the videos, it was the one that looked like an actual commercial.  The music was perfect, the voice over was great, overall it was just fantastic!  Congrats to the group for getting chosen!  I thought this was such a brilliant idea!  Weserville is such a tiny town that lives off of its small businesses.  Also, the population is incredibly small.  Bringing in more people will definitely improve the life style of the town.    Doing this activity I think really help understand the factors, demand and what it takes to make a great ad campaign.  Also, we really learned that in order to make the campaign come together, it is a group effort and each member must contribute.  I really think we should do more projects like this, as in making videos because it is fun, everyone must participate somehow, and learn economics in such a fun way!
