Final Project Blog Post

1. I had two demographics questions at the start of the survey. I also included a couple open ended questions.

2. I don't think the demographics questions helped me understand the results because I only got 4 responses. If I had more, the demographics questions would've been more important.

3. I found that there was a wide range of times people wake up in the morning. Some people lived farther and do a lot of things in the morning, like eat breakfast, shower, and do homework so they need to leave earlier. Some people don't have much to do in the mornings so they can wake up later and get to school in a short amount of time.












4. I got 4 responses for my survey.

Cardboard Collectibles case study

The point of this case study was to show how Upper Deck changed the baseball card industry by offering a better product than what was being sold before. They used better photography, graphics, and paper than other card companies. They also offered exclusive access to sports related websites and autographed memorabilia which persuaded sports fans to buy their new cards.

Superior- Upper Deck had a superior product than its competitors.
Collector's Market- Sports fans collect souvenirs that to remember their favorite teams and players.
Premiums- Gifts or prizes given as a reward for purchasing a product.
Authentic- Genuine memorabilia purchased by fans.
Memorabilia- Souvenirs or mementos to remember an important event.

I would like to learn more about big companies like Nike or Adidas that have factories in other countries. It's interesting that a lot of them are being accused of using slave labor and have terrible working conditions.






















1. Upper Deck could charge twice as much as previous card companies because their cards had better photography, graphics, and paper.


3. Upper Deck offered exclusive access to sports-related websites and sold autographed memorabilia.

Boston Olympics

I think it was the right decision for Boston to be turned down for the Olympics. The reasons why Boston would not be a good host for the 2024 Olympics is because of the huge increase in taxes and the problem of  trying to bring in thousands of people. The cost of hosting the Olympics is more than what Boston collects in taxes each year, meaning people will have to pay more taxes to cover the cost of the Olympics. Some people believe that the taxes could go towards other things that the city needs like housing and transportation. It would also be a huge challenge to bring in thousands of people for a few weeks. Residents who oppose the Olympics argue that there's not enough room in the city for this number of people, and that traffic and transportation would be a mess. This is why it was a bad idea for the 2024 Olympics to be held in Boston.
