Wk. 6 EOC: Me x 3

Three items that have been bought by me or for me specifically that define me are my laptop, my spandex shorts, and my fuzzy green blanket.

My laptop is a Dell laptop with a 17.5 inch screen. It has the fastest processor on the Dell market, came installed with Adobe Photoshop and Premiere for photo editing and video making. It has a CD/DVD/Blu-ray player for watching movies. It has a web cam built into it so that I can video chat with my friends in other countries. My dad bought me the laptop after my previous laptop stopped working. He put a lot of thought into what elements he paid for when he bought it as I am a photographer and vlogger and I need specific programs to keep up with what I do. I also like watching movies and playing games on my computer so the elements he included where important.

My spandex shorts are Old Navy Active shorts that were purchased for me as a gift. These define me because I am an athlete and the feel, movement, fit, and breathability of fabric are important to me. I practically live in spandex shorts. I wear them under everything from my costumes for shows to clothes for church. I like the way they feel on me and that they make it easier for me to dance.

“Champion athletic wear segments its markets according to benefits that different consumers seek from their activewear. For example, “Fit and Polish” consumers seek a balance between function and style—they exercise for results but want to look good doing it. “Serious Sports Competitors” exercise heavily and live in and love their activewear—they seek performance and function. By contrast, “Value-Seeking Moms” have low sports interest and low activewear involvement—they buy for the family and seek durability and value. Thus, each segment seeks a different mix of benefits. Champion must target the benefit segment or segments that it can serve best and most profitably, using appeals that match each segment’s benefit preferences.” – Marketing and Introduction, Armstrong & Kotler

My fuzzy green blanket was something that I bought while on a trip to San Diego. We were staying on my uncle’s boat and it was a lot colder than I had planned for so my mother and I stopped at the Wal-Mart near the marina. We stopped by the blankets section and that particular little blanket just felt right. I love the feel of fuzzy things against my skin. My favourite colour is green and the blanket was the perfect size for me to wrap myself in for the night. It continues to be my favourite blanket to this day.
