Ipod Vending machine


This is a machine which sell Ipod.
you must know what is ipod,and in this society most of teenager have one,of course children and adult also have.
where are you bought your ipod? ipod shops,big store ?
now,there have a new place you can buy ipod,that is ipod vending machine.
You can see this machine in airport or crowded shops.
About this machine,I have some opinions.
first of all I want talk about advantage about it.
- this is new sell ways for consumer,they will think it is very convenient,and attractive.And in this machine,the company put a different kinds of ipod inside,that means people can have a lot choices about ipod.And because this is a machine,people can save their money about bus or car .
-If the company put this machine in airport that will be good. Because product in airport do not need tax,that I think ipod too,therefore if you buy ipod in airport ,it must cheaper than others shops.and also in airport there are different consumer in there,especially traveller.
Then I want talk about disadvantages
-we need people to protect it,because ipod is a very expensive product,and in this vending machine,there are more than 50 ipods,it must be security,therefore they need people to notice it and make the ipod in this machine safe .
-expensive,maybe people do not care buy in shops.
-they need change music ,colour and so many things about ipod,because people like something new,such as new product ,new style and new....
That is my opinion,thanks for your reading.

economic homework


Homework

Question:The economy is heading into a recession and the company is running at a loss. the rail fares is increasing. How do you use the information below to inform your decision on price?Do you rise or lower price?
1)Price elasticity of demand: -1.58explain:Because the PED is -1.58, we can know that the demand is elastic but the demand and price are not changing in the same direction..It means that when the price of bus goes up, the quantity demanded will go down at a big scale. Therefore,on the contrary, if we want to increase the demand we should lower the price .It is better to lower the price in my opinion.
2)Income elastic of demand: -2.43explain: Because of the negative YED which is estimated as -2.43, we can know that the demand is elastic which means that demand falls as income rises. So we can conclude that taking a bus isinferior. Therefore, the company should lower the price.
3)Cross elasticity of demand: 2.21explain: Because the XED is greater than 1, we can know that the two goods are substitues which means that the quantity demanded of taking a bus goes up with the increasing price of rail fares and they have close relationgship. Therefore, the company need to drop the price.
4)Price elasticity of supply: 1.15explain: Because the PES is greater than 1, the price of bus is elastic which means that the quantity supplied goes up along with the increasing price of taking bus. In conclusion, it is betterfor the company to rise the price.


Mr Chris I am so sorry I just write this today , and Daisy teachs me about this.






copy from Chris's blog


First of all, notice that your company is making a loss, so you need to take some action.The first piece of information you look at is the price elasticity of demand, where yousee that you face elastic demand, with the price elasticity being –1.58. So if you were to increase your fares by 10% (and if your company faced the same elasticity as theaverage for the market), you would expect to see a fall in demand of 15.8%, and a fall in revenues. On the other hand, if you were to reduce your fares by 10%, revenue would increase following a 15.8% increase in demand.
However, you need to be aware of market conditions. The economy is heading into a recession, and you are faced with an income elasticity of demand that is strongly negative (–2.43). In other words, bus travel is an inferior good. This is good news for you as it means that, as incomes fall in the recession, more people will use the buses, and you will enjoy an increase in demand.
Whether the cross-price elasticity will be helpful to you depends on what is happening in the market for rail travel. If you happen to know that rail fares are about to increase, then again this is good news for you, as bus travel is a strong substitute for rail travel.
For a 10% increase in train fares, there will be a 32.1% increase in the demand for bus travel. These elasticities thus help you to make a reasoned decision on pricing, depending on what is happening in the economy as a whole, and in the markets for close substitutes such as rail travel. The price elasticity of supply is less helpful to you. It tells you how you would respond to a change in price — but you probably know that anyway.

business idea- open a website of business idea

I have a business idea that when I look up some business information on Internet.That is open a website to sell business ideas.
Firstly, in this society, a lot of people want have their own business,but usually they can not find a good business idea that they can make people richer than before.therefore they need some good business idea. At that time,if they do not have idea in their mind,they want somebody help,then they will choose us,and if we have ideas suit able to them ,they want to buy it.
Secondly,where we can find good business ideas? this is a good question.In my opinion ,I think we also can buy business idea form other people. but we need calculate how much is it ,because after we buy it,we need know how much we can sell,and how we can make a high profit.
Thirdly,we need some good ads ,and make people notice our website,and make them know how we can help them, so we need some people to do this,thus we should employee some professional people.
Finally,faith and security,that after we sell the business idea,if consumer buy it and then to book this brand,we can promise nobody can copy you,this is a unique brand for you .

soccer ball vending machine

Where is this vending machine located at ?when I saw this picture,I really want to ask that question.
This a quite good vending machine ,it is very spacial,because it not sale food , drinks .Is it sales soccer ball. It is very interesting.
About this machine , it is very useful when you want to play soccer ball, but you do not have,or you want to buy one ,but the sports store far from you , you might prefer this machine.
Also because this product is very new for us, we are interested in it, maybe I do not like soccer,but I want to try buy a soccer ball from a vending machine , it make me feel excited.
But the price of it not very cheap,each of them need 20 dollars .
Therefore maybe sometime you want play soccer ball, but you do not have, you want to buy one , at the moment you see a soccer ball vending machine ,you think about it, you see the food ball,but you do not like the colour,or you think it is very expensive,so you do not want to buy it from vending machine.
And if you do not have some people to protect this machine ,the food ball will steal by someone,because it is easy to break the machine.
Then because this is just a machine ,the measure of it not enough, and the style of food ball not so much,normally they are similar,therefore people not very like the same colour or same style.
You need find the location where you can put this machine and where is suit able to put it.
This a good idea ,but not very complete.
I have some advices
1) choose the location where have a lot of young people ,like school.
2) put different brand and colours soccer ball in the machine.
3)near the drinks and food vending machine,because they are complement goods.
4)make price decrease.

T-shirt Air Cannon

This product is a interesting invention, I never know this machine before, when I saw this picture just now, I think that the disadvantage more than advantage.
First let's talk about
advantage
- attractive
-make your crowds go crazy when you use a t-shirt cannon to launch t-shirts, maybe hot dogs, and any other soft promotional items.
-make the complement products ,like T shirt , hot dog and others ,the demand of them will increase.
-when some basketball match or other kinds of match and party, if you have a machine like this ,people will interested in it,so if basketball match have this ,when the break time people launch some lifts,people will enjoy it,and so the number of consumer will raise.
disadvantage
-the size of marketing is small
-price high
-sometimes a little dangerous because of the power
-the need products which can put in the machine,so they need spend money to make it.
I think this product just suit able to some match or party. So I do not sure it can be popular in future.

portable espresso maker


This products tat we can see it is very beatiful,what is that use for? let me tell you ,is it can make coffee.Make coffee? you might this not very spacial.Now please visit this website http://www.handpresso.fr/products/ove rview-EN.html
you can read some information about this product which called handpresso.
"Handpresso offers a whole range of products linked to the nomadic espresso. It travels with you, makes perfect coffee and enhances the coffee experience" i copy this from that website, we can know this machine use for when we travel or do something outdoor,you can use it to make coffee,it is very convenient.
people like coffee,they helps people to solve this problem that you can make espresso wherever you go, whenever you want. Premium quality espresso – anywhere! With Handpresso, coffee breaks are shared and enjoyed together. Actually, Handpresso has invented a new coffee ceremony for you. So, now, your espressos can be prepared with friends, guests or within the family, indoors as well as outdoors 9copy from this website.
But they also have competitors ,you see they also need hot water to make coffee,where they can find if they are picnic.Also they can choose the coffee just need hot warter and a cup,it is more convenient. So I think they need make this machine smaller and can flat maybe,eventhough people prefer notice the quality of coffee.

vending machine

In this society ,everywhere you can find vending machine , therefore ,if you want to buy some food drinks and something else you can buy from it,it is very convenient.Who are the consumer of vending machine? you might know.For example when you go shopping you are very thirsty,you want drink some water ,,but there are not have store sell water nearby,but there is a vending machine provide water,you must to buy it form vending machine ,because you are no idea to buy water except it. When you are working, you are so busy ,but you do not have time to buy food from restaurant,but you company provide a vending machine of food, you will buy food from this vending machine.Also some children like use it ,because they think it is very interesting ,you just need put a coin in and you can printout the food.....
Vending machine have a lot of consumer,but they also need lots of staff to protect it.
but there are somr disadvantage of it,it have a limited space,therefore it can not sell a lot of product,they just can a little.
And some vending machine sell fresh food,thus the company who provide this machine,they must find soe people to protect it,and change food .Spend money on protect this machine .Because this machine it is not very strong. therefore they need protect them avoid the machine destroy.
That is all.,thank you for your reading.

Exotic Plant/Herb Dealer at Markets



This is a quite good idea,because it is very spacial. They can sell exotic plant online,and this is very good.
advantage: -people can choose online(they can save money about car petrol or tickets and etc.)
-more convenient .
-they can have enough time to choose.
-consumer also can go the shop to buy what kind of plant you want to buy.
-when you feel tired you can have place to rest.
I think,these advantage can make the profit of this company high,because,online service can make consumer feel convenient,and easy to buy,therefore they will increase their rate of buying.Therefore the demand of plant will goes up. Also consumer who want go to the shop to buy,they also need spend money on rest,because in normal time they will take much time to choose,and they will get tired,therefore they need rest ,and when they rest,they need some drink,like coffee,juice or something else.So the profit will increase.
disadvantage: -spacial place to protect the plants
-people who can keep plant fresh.
-they can not sell plant to everywhere.
-they need spend money to protect plant.
-easy to destroy.
I think, these disadvantage maybe make profit decrease,but because of this idea it is very attractive ,therefore they need not to pay attention to it ,just to think about some ideas to solve it and can make more profit.
I like this ,and I hope it can successful.

Band Rehearsal Space Rentals


In fact,I really like this idea.Because in my hometown,we do not have a place where we can play music instrument ,therefore when people want to play some music instrument but they do not have a professional place,they just can play in their home or music classroom.
I remember when I play piano in my home,a old woman come to knocked or door and said ,please keep quiet,i need sleep. That time i really did not know what should I do. I need practice,but the old woman said i need stop.So I thought if I have a place where I can play piano, and nobody can heared me ,nobody can bother me. but before I came to England I never saw that.
Therefore I think this is a good idea
Firstly, let me show this to you
Our rehearsal rooms include:
Yamaha Stage Custom or Pearl Vision Drumsets - cymbals not included.
Powerful PA systems - (1)Mackie ONYX 1620 or (1)Mackie DFX-12
2 - 4 x 12" Guitar Cabinets & Amp heads (Marshall, Fender, Line 6, Traynor & Crate available)
Bass Combos (Ampeg 2 x 10") or (Line6 - 1 x 15")
there are copy from this websitehttp://spotlightstudiosnw.com/rehearsals.aspx
in this menu ,you can see what kind of equipment they have .
In this band rehearsal you can play as much as you like music instrument,and also you can play with your team,you can play any music instrument you want.Nobody bother you ,you like a star. But at the moment when you forget the time,your money loss too,because you need pay 20 pounds for one hour.
This is a weakness about this business idea. When the price so high ,customer will change their mind ,maybe they will choose a park or empty place to play .
But in this society ,people like personal space,and they not really care about money,if they like they want spend money on it.
Therefore I like this idea,and agree with it .

Headwater

Today we talk about Head water.
You can visit this website http://www.headwater.com/


This business idea about activities,please look at the picture on you left,you can see this is menu of activities.
there are interesting and attractive,and when you visit this website,you also can read introduction about it.those are advantage of this business idea.For example ,the time of they organize activities are holiday,this is means a lot of people will join it ,and they will earn a number of profit,because holiday of people it is free,they want to find something they like,and these activities also fun and easy o learn,therefore most people will interested in it ,because they like somethings easy to learn but fresh and fun to them.Also the people who want to organize these activities said there are very safe,thus customers can do not worried about them safe.

But in another hand,we need think about , these activities just for holiday,except holiday ,what should they do ,they need spend money on protect their equipment,and if some accident happened when they open these activities ,like somebody ill suddenly or meet some trouble with weather.....how they can deal with ,they need think about it ,and they can not decided what will happen in future ,thus they shouldn't said their activities safe.

But if people believe them ,they must ask people some money about insurance.Because of this,they can earn money.

I think this is a good idea,because people like something about this .Well,this point good for the activities marketing,therefore i think this business idea will successful

Mountain Climbing/Abseiling



Even though this homework for Lex ,but I want to do it.

This is a business idea about outdoor exercises . You can visit this website
http://www.rockfrog.co.uk/index.php
This is a good idea, because the people who organise this business know what are the popular things in this society,therefore they provide a lot of exercises such as Climbing ,Water Activities
,Mountain Craft ,Walking ,Caving ,Locations.There are different types of exercises but every one of those are attractive.

So ,because of this,people want to join these exercises which they interested in.because they know people welling to take money to some things they like .Also they have a few competitors,because this business need professional people and place,the people who can provide these things just a little,therefore they can not worried about competitors. the profit also can increase because if competitors.
But the weakness of this idea is because of these are outdoor exercises ,thus they can not do some of these when the weather is bad,therefore they need depend on the weather.and when some dangerous things happened ,they need responsible for them and maybe also need take money for them,because you organise this exercises,you have to in charge of it.
But this business idea it's a good idea,it must successful I think.
That is all today.

this is advantage about it ,and i copy all of this from
http://www.earthclassmail.com/enterprise-postal-mail

this is a good idea about mail,now this is true,we know it is very convenient and useful,but before use this technology,people must know how to use computer,how to use this new technology,therefore people who want use it ,if they do not know how to use,they must spend time and money to learn how to use it,and if people who do not know how to use this new technology they also need to learn some information and skills about it. Also some people do not have computer they can not afford it ,so the demand of this just for people who can use and afford it.
thus consumer of this is decrease.

So before to sale this product,they need make learn computer popular,and choose a right consumer's range,they can afford it and can use it.

$10,000/5,000 car wash for celebrities

even though this website errorhttp://www.edmunds.com/insideline/do/News/articleld=114981,but i want continue this topic
advantage:high profit.
disadvantage:a small range consumer, expensive.
if i were this boss,i will service for all people who have car,because in China a lot of place have car wash services ,and very cheap,therefore the boss of car wash company it is very rich,the demand of car increase thus demand of car wash is increase,therefore if they increase they apply,they must can improve the profit.

affordable recreational submarin



i am sorry ,it is my fault,this website can work,now we talk about affordable recreational submarine,in fact this is a machine you can use under the sea ..
frist i copy thw advantage from the website

-Germanischer Lloyd Classification
-Lithium-Ion Battery Technology
-6 Hours Endurance
-Surface Speed 4 Knots
-Unrivaled stability achievement
-Variable Ballast Tank
-C-Quester 2
-Superyacht Submersible
-C-Quester 3
-Personal Tour Submersible
when i saw this picture ,i think this is a new technology and it must will popular in this word.
but now i do not think so ,because when a new product invent, the quality and the cost is must be high ,people can not afford it,except very very rich people.
but rich people will like it ,because this is a interesting thing,this is a personal tour submarine,and they can feel a different feeling,if they feel good ,they want to spend money on it,and the company can earn a higher profit.
but now we just need to developing this product ,and if we can make the cost decrease ,it must be popular in future..

KTV in England







KTV means Karaok TV ,this is a place where you can singing.
In China , a lot of people like go to KTV when they have free time,especially , secondary school students.when they finish classes of one week ,they usually go to KTV to relax with them friends.
why it is very popular for students and some adult?because this is not very expensive place,people can afford it, and it is also very safe,because you can have your own room to singing with your friends,in this room everybody you know,no stranger.And you can feel relax,for example,some adult after their work, they are tired ,but when you go to KTV and singing with your friends you do not feel very bad,opposite you can feel very happy and relaxed.And you also can practice your voice.
I arrive oxford about 3 months but i never see a KTV in here,yesterday i know there is one in Oxford but it is a Chinese people open it. And before i come to here, i asked my friends who from England,they said do not have KTV in England.But they also said they like KTV, they been to Chinese KTV and thought it is very well.
Therefore i think if there have a lot of KTV in England,they must become popular,and lots of people will fall in love with it,there are a big marketing.
England people like go outside to play at night,KTV can open at night,and if KTV start developing,they can make the criminal down,because this is a safe place.but KTV have a lot of competitor,there are club, pup,and etc,this is a big problem,English like do something together,if KTV just provide a lot of room for different people maybe not suit able to English,therefore ,is they change the room to a common room it must be better than that.
what do you think of it?do you want to try KTV

Waterless Uninal

Hello everybody,i am sorry i have two days did not write blog.Today I talk about Waterless Urinal.
Choose Zero Flush and appreciate wide ranging benefits...
Zero urinal water usage – an ability to save over 150,000 litres of fresh water per year/per urinal offering a highly attractive pay back period of under 12 months. (see cost savings calculator)
Lower installation costs – with no water supply pipework, cisterns or flush control valves, the Zero Flush system is both simple and stylish.
Unrivalled performance – a unique patented cartridge free design ensures that no other system can match the performance levels of Zero Flush. (see how it works)
Low maintenance – with no cartridge and no need to add sealant between insert changes, Zero Flush offers an impressive 15,000 uses before any maintenance is required.
Odour free – low bacteria levels in a waterless environment provide a superior hygiene solution.
Maintenance contracts – peace of mind is given and budget planning made easy with maintenance contracts offered for the life of the product.
( i copy these strengths formhttp://www.bwater.eu/zeroflush/ you can look up this website.)

But i think this is a new technology that they must to look for some professionals,and they also need give them a higher salary,then they will do that for you .and the consumer just for man ,so it is not very popular ,and they need to look for where they can sale it and who will buy it, some people maybe not choose it,so the market of this product not stable .
There are my ideas,can you give me some advices?
