Welcome to Gaia! ::

Mytrax thought on the question carefully and seriously. She'd always had to curtail her spending habits, even while she was still living in the Scepters, so this wasn't too difficult a task. She wrote down her answers neatly and submitted it to the professor.

What makes me want to buy something depends on what I need at that moment. If I require sustenance, or entertainment, or something educational, or even something meant as a hobby. From there, it's a matter of balancing between substance and style.

However, what makes me actually buy something involves: Notoriety, Quality, and Importance. I very rarely indulge in impulse buying and I very rarely act on my spontaneous urges to splurge on myself.

Seray thought for a bit on the proper response to the question that was asked of him. He rarely bought anything and was thinking hard to the last thing he bought. "I buy simply out of necessity, if I am not one hundred percent sure that I needed it I will most likely not buy it. Unless it is necessary for my survival, such as food or clothing; or necessary for my education such as school fees and text books I will almost surely not buy it. However I suppose prices also have an impact on specifically which brand of something I buy, I am not well off and have very little money to my name, therefore I also tend to try to find the cheapest things that I could possibly find." He felt that was a sufficient answer.

Citali quietly took her seat in this class, and while she sat there she wondered why in the world she was taking this particular class. Then she remembered, she had been so caught up in reading her books, that she had forgotten about registration and was one of the last few to register, so it left little available in line of electives to take. So here she was, and now she had to write about what made her buy stuff?

There isn't a lot that makes me want to buy it. I'll buy it if it's a necessity, or if it's a book. With books though it has to sound interesting, and by that, I mean the summary on the back cover has to catch my attention. Sometimes too, the cover of the book has to look good too, be eyecatching, but I focus mainly on the content of the book, not what the cover looks like. If the content is good, I"ll buy it.

A good logo is one that catches your attention and sticks in your mind. It makes you think and has multiple levels to it. Memorable is the key aspect. Like sometimes a logo is the company’s name, but there are hidden pictures within the letters. Sometimes it even incorporates what the company is all about, like a coffee shop. A bad logo is simple, easily forgotten or even one that can be misinterpreted.

With that, Kuchena sat her essay on the teacher’s desk and went back to her desk. That wasn’t too terrible.

If there was one thing that Tricia at least felt comfortable with, it was what was visually attractive and eye catching. She pulled out her notebook and purple pen, and began scrawling her thoughts on the page.

A good logo is something that reflects what you are trying to sell. If you are trying to sell style, use fonts and imagery that are eye catching and work well together. You have to know what your target audience finds attractive and appeal to that. Def don't use images and words that are confusing or not readable. Nothing is more embarrassing than having what you meant misconstrued. Always, always try to be original. You def don't want your logo to be easily confused with someone else's.

Well... it wasn't great, but she at least felt mostly confident in it. Trish got up and turned her paper into her teacher.

Samara propped her chin in her hand, feeling a little bored. She'd joined the class in the hopes that it might help her catch up a little. Living in a single village all her life, that's what most of her knowledge pertained to. It wasn't a small village or anything, and it was near a decent-sized town, but apparently that hadn't been enough to prevent a lack of diverse knowledge in other cultures. And she had learned a little so far, but mostly she was bored. Oh well, it was useful knowledge, if not fun.

"A good name depends on who you're trying to attract as a customer. You have to figure out might appeal to them. If the name sounds like your store only sells things for babies or grannies, you won't get many teens or young adults. The name is like an auditory appeal, so when you make a logo you have to make sure your visual appeal matches the auditory appeal, but also that it doesn't cause confusion. Like if you ran a photography shop and you named it something like Image Cafe and had a picture of cake as a logo or something. People might think you're a food place, not a photography place."

Congratulations, you passed!

Shinobu shook his head, he didn't like that policy. Time to write a response.

'The customer isn't always right, but since this is a practice in respecting your customers, they have to be right all the time. It's a stupid practice in my opinion, because as a sales associate can't speak against a customer to correct them, even if it's done politely. Then it falls on the manager to handle the disgruntled customer and they will give the customer the same response most of the time. And it could potentially anger the customer further and lose their business. It's a double edged sword, either way the employee will be demonized even if they're only trying to help. A better policy should be made but there's no guarantee it'll be better than "the customer is always right". In fact, it could end up being worse.'

He put his pencil down and stood to turn in his paper.
