After analyzing consumers response to advertising I perceived that of those consumers who intend to buy an Aquine watch greatly increased to over 60% after viewing the commercial in which Krysten Neiman appears (University of Phoenix, n.d.). It is important that our company maintains the resourcefulness of Krysten Neiman and continues to focus on the advertising division; we should allot an average budget so that this division has the ability to remain effective. At the end of my investigation, Howard Gray asked me, to recommend machinery that would help our mechanical watches pass the SOCC standards and help raise company sales.

To: Deere & Company Senior Management Team From: Robert Gerstenberger Date: November 15, 2010 Subject: Deere & Company Pricing Strategy for Launch of JD 750 This memo recommends a pricing strategy of pure parity for the launch of the JD 750 Bulldozer, one of Deere & Company’s most audacious ventures yet.
