FSU Marketing Club Goes Above and Beyond by L'Asia Brown In the midst of a slowly recovering, dreary economy wracked with high unemployment rates and families with record low amounts of disposable income, big corporations and small businesses alike are looking to better their marketing and advertisement efforts to keep revenues up. With the constant threat of being laid off or subject to salary reductions, some people are shopping for Money Market and Savings accounts more than they’re shopping at the mall and with a sense of financial paranoia lurking in the air of a still fragile American economy; some of our favorite products and services are losing much of their delicious appeal. Having to avoid that pricey new toy can evoke feelings of guilt, but many parents are ignoring their children's temper tantrums in Toys'R'Us and dragging them to A.C. Moore to find inexpensive arts & crafts. Sales at Forever 21 and Chariotte Russe are up while Express and Hollister are seeing declines. With this “Save, Save, Save mindset taking over, businesses are employing the best in the marketing field to try and sway even the most stubborn of shoppers. Here at Fpyetteville State University, an old organization is seeing new growth. The Marketing Club, led by President Daniel Kittrell and Vice President Courtney Miche, is one of the fastest growing, most successful student organizations on campus. Kittrell and Miche became involved in 2008, and quickly rose through the ranks by dedicating time, effort, and excellence to Marketing Club goals, missions and events. The addition of the new Marieting minor available to students of all majors at Fayetteville State University certainly has given the Marieting Club some stable ground and support. “The new marketing major is definitely a good addition for all majors. Mariceting skills are very valuable,” commented President Kittrell. The Mari^eting Club has participated and hosted several highly successful events during the 2009-2010 year, some of which took place beyond the campus and directly benefited local business establishments in the community of Fayetteville. The Marketing Club won the Annual Holiday Food Drive hosted by the Student Government Association and Office of Student Activities. They beat out several organizations more than twice their size. Their coat drive proved timely during one of the fiercest southern winters in history. “We got more coats than we ever expected to and they went to a great cause since it was so cold!” said VP Miche. Perhaps one of their most impressive accomplishments was completing market research for T Alexander s, a fine male attire store in Cross Creek Mall. Membership in the Mari^eting club has grown exponentially in the past two years, in part due to the efforts 6f students who seek to expand their presence and involvement in a campus that is answering to the future that is calling. photo by L’Asia Brown Marketing Club President, Daniel Kittrell and Vice President, Courtney Miche Shining Star Sean Baker Name: Sean Baker Classification: Senior Major: Political Science and History Why did you choose to come to FSU?
