Know-How Exchange : Student Questions

Dear Walid,

It's not necessary to give a question an academic overtone
simply to sound clever. All those big words: synergy, methodology, paradigm and so on? Know what they are?

Fluff. All of them. Nobody talks like that. At least, not in the real world.

I spent five years reading artists' statements and every single
one of them was filled with nonsense about counterpointing the surrealism of the underlying metaphor through intrinsically observed obfuscations.

But, if you insist. Why? Because I can bullshit with the best of them!

How's this:

"Describe Key Customer Growth Indicators Relative to Product Selection Metrics and Modifiers Observed Through Radically Externalized Economic Pressure Points"

I hope that's pompous enough for your tutor. Good luck.

Walid,

"...affected positively the growth..." that's a little redundant.

I'm thinking that the real discovery here is that during a recession, beauty products consumers actually buy more in a time where most consumers are buying less, correct? This inverse relationship is somewhat counter-intuitive. Not only is it interesting to understand that is IS so, but why? To any marketer, this would be interesting. And in particular, to anyone selling beauty products and services, this would be a vital piece of information. Extending this, should these people expect a "downturn" in the beauty market as the world recovers from recession? Interesting, huh?

So for a title, how about this: Understanding the Beauty Consumer Spending Increase During a Recession and Why Preparing for an Industry Downturn During Economic Recovery is Warranted

What do you think?
