Response to Lindsey's post

I find myself having mass amounts of t-shirts from functions. Everybody likes a free t-shirt. I think this is a good idea for certain businesses. If it is a small company trying to get their name out there having a catchy t-shirt design is a good idea. This is make people ask what kind of company it is when they see the t-shirt. I think for big established companies like Verizon, it doesnt necessarily do much for them. Everyone sees a verizon t-shirt and knows exactly what it is, and it doesnt exactly convince them that it is a cooler company than another phone company.

Purchasing

The more money we have, the more money we spend. We are always wanting things that we don't necessarily need but what we want. Most people are always trying to make more money so that they can buy more things. Marketers aim at this kind of behavior. Something like a nail Polish commercial makes it seem like we need this nail polish to make our hands extra beautiful and it makes us go out and buy it. All though we did not need that nail polish, the commercial made us think that we did.

If minimum wage increased would this increase the purchases that we make on things that we dont need?
