Silly Bandz Fad

The name of the fad I picked was Silly Bandz. The target market for Silly Bandz were children from ages 5 to 15. The reason for the appeal were their cool shapes and bright colors. The appeal was global and gave kids power and bragging rights when it came to these colorful bandz. Their is no real reason why they become unpopular but after about six months people stopped buying them. Nothing replaced Silly Bandz they just became unpopular.

Intro about me

My name is Kathryn Kalogeris and I am a senior at Reading Memorial High school. I live with my mom and dad and two sisters Alexandra (21)  and Sophia (19). My school interests include History and Business. After high school I plan on going to a four year college and getting my degree in Business. When I am not in school I take dance classes three days a week. I have been dancing since I was three years old and it is something that I love to do. I am also a part of lots of clubs at the high school like student council, leo club, samantha's harvest, Hhelp club and girl rising. I also have a part time job at a boutique called Francesca's. When I am not busy I like to relax and hangout with my friends. Some of my favorite tv shows include the Real Housewives, and Gossip Girl. I do not have a favorite book or movie. If I could go out to eat tonight I would want to go to the Cheesecake factory.

Best New TV shows

I recently researched what the five best tv shows are. The website I did my research on was called the Indie Wire. This website gave descriptions of all of the shows that are anticipated to be good for 2016-2017. Out of the list of 25 tv shows the ones that I think will be the best are: Divorced,Shots Fired, Atlanta, Luke Cage and Billions. All of these shows look very dramatic and look like they will be good tv. In all of these shows by their description it seems as though their is one main character that the whole show is based on. All of the main characters in these shows have a strong role and have to make tough choices.

My personal opinion on these tv shows is that I would watch them. Just by their detailed descriptions I would find them very interesting and they would keep the viewer on their toes. On the website I researched on they did a very good job getting these shows out there and promoting them. Every show had a picture that had the main character in it and a long description of the show. The descriptions of the show gave you what you would need to know about the show the air date and the network it is played on. I think that this is good for marketing because it gives you the when, where and what.
