The first of many lessons!

This is my first ever blog so give this site chance it may get better through the year! On Thursday 31st at Bucks New Uni we looked at understanding the customer, and how each person is that little bit different from the next one. This can then influence the skills and techniques used within marketing as adverts and effective marketing must reach a really wide demographic.
As the ball got rolling in the lesson Ruth asked us to draw a shape on a page, we were then asked to fill in certain information about ourselves such as favourite car, colour, holiday destination ect...When we had filled our shapes with as much or as little information as we wanted, we then swapped them around, people had to guess what type of person they are from judging the information provided on the piece of paper. Some people guessed correctly but some people didnt, it was easy to guess mine as it had LEEDS UNITED in large block capitals on the centre of the page, however some were more illusive as others had just wrote words and not seemed to express themselves using pictures or large words, this could mean that they could be an introvert compared to me which had pictures and large words on...have you guessed it yes I am an extrovert!!!
So what did we learn from this? Well personally I learned that everybody is different and that not everybody may be what they seem or say they are. Some may say they are loud however their writing may show they are introvertd and may be quite shy, my view on this is that they might be shy to people they do not know and once you get to know that individual then may be more loud and chatty like they say they are.
