Analyzing Data Post

By Danielle and Kylie 


1. What are you trying to understand with your survey?
Demographics for people people who drink or are interested in drinking Red Bull.

2. Did the demographic questions you asked help you with understanding the results?
Yes

3. What would you change, if you could, in your survey?
We would take out Question 7 and probably add more questions about the characteristics of people that drink energy drinks.

4. Is there a difference in the boys results vs. the girls results? Explain.
Yes, we found that males are more likely to drink energy drinks than females. 

5. What question told you the most from your survey? Explain.
"Do you ever drink energy drinks?" Because it helped us to determine how relevant our survey was for people.

6. What summary can you give if at all about your results. If there are several please separate the results.
Boys are more likely to be tired and drink energy drinks than girls. Almost everybody would be open to trying a free Red Bull.


7. What is something you liked about this project?
Having the opportunity to be creative and decide what we wanted to give people a survey on.

Write & Predict

• Share 3 areas you might be challenged with when working on this "New Franchise" project.
• Share 2 areas you think you will excel at in this project 
• Share 1 aspect you consider to be the most important while doing this project.

3. a. Trying to combine all of the skills and lessons into one project
    b. Media planning was hard during the lesson but now I really have to watch my budget because I need money for other areas and don't want to go bankrupt.
    c. Choosing different sponsorships for the franchise

2. I think I excel at licensing and ticket pricing because I know how much fans will pay for certain seats and I am able to figure out which licensing deals are the best for my franchise.

1. I think that stadium and parking lot staffing are really important because they control the fans and keep the games safe for everyone. Without proper staffing, the field could be ruined, fans and players could get hurt, people may not get through ticket gates fast enough, and many other problems could occur.

3. a)  Media Planning: making people aware of my franchise and finding a balance between advertising too much or too little
    b) Parking lot Staffing: finding a balance between too many parking staff that it causes me to lose money and too little staff that causes me to get fined  by the city
    c) Promotions

2. a) Ticket pricing
    b) Player management

1. One aspect that is really important for this project is maintaining the field and the parking lots in order to make the highest possible profit.

Shawn Thornton’s Cuts For A Cause

by Danielle Beaulieu

Every year, players on the Boston Bruins get their heads shaved for the charity event Shawn Thornton’s Cuts For A Cause. This is an event used to raise money for children who are battling cancer. People are invited to come, watch, and bid for the opportunity to shave some of the Bruins players heads. They can also pay additional money for the opportunity to talk to the players. Last year, twenty players participated in this event and the organization raised over one hundred and eighteen thousand dollars. All of this money goes towards children battling cancer.

Cuts For A Cause not only portrays the team in a positive way, but also give players a chance to gain some popularity among fans. It benefits the players because it helps their image in the media, and the organization because they get a lot of donations due to the famous people attending. I think that this is a great organization. It gives fans a chance to get up close and personal with their favorite players, and shaving the heads of the players is a great way to raise money  for such a worthy cause.
