As far as the holidays are concerned, it is less than 2 months away. So with that in mind, what are you plans? What are you going to give away that is not hard on the pocket?

For the wise and generous givers of the Christmas season, you are most probably going to hit two aspects, health and affordability. Needs is another aspect of giving so why not hit the need of hunger that of which is food or snacks?

Now don’t just go out and buy the first satiable packaged good you come across. See which is economical and logical as…

Tragedy after tragedy. Who knows what is going on in the mind of actress-singer Jennifer Hudson is going through these days. While she has offered a reward to whoever would be able to bring back her missing 7 year-old nephew, Julian King, it seems that these turn of events have made the whole effort futile.

The FBI have reportedly found an SUV containing the remains of a black male child was found around 7 a.m. The body has not yet been positively identified, facts point towards this body being Julian since the SUV matched the one sought in an Amber Alert…

On whether this was done on purpose or a practical joke, there is a branding aspect of it all. Barrack Obama is without a doubt making waves as he leads McCain in the presidential race and for people who think they are degrading his image by offering his mask-like face on Amazon.com under the terrorist category, they are actually helping him gain more popularity as far as familiarity is concerned.

But as a classy merchandise, why not wear if for Halloween? Amazon has been making big bucks from it and while the category may look inappropriate, a sale is a…

One would think that once sequels start to take place, a dip in the quality of the movie production would ensue. But as far as High School Musical 3 is concerned, they have surprisingly humbled the movie watchers of sequels as far as their 3 installments of the Walt Disney flick is concerned. But don’t tell that to critics who seem far from satisfied.

Sequels have had that bad branding throughout the years. A lot of it is because people are expecting no less than the original film that was initially shown. There are a lot of factors to consider. But for…

Junk food is certainly something most people would love. But unfortunately while our mindset has been totally set on it, they are also unhealthy especially if you cannot balance the intake of actual healthy food and junk food.

Especially for children who love to munch on these snacks, parental intervention has been a necessity. But distribution outlets can also do their part as well. By controlling what items they distribute or carry, they can negate the exposure given by networks as far as the right food to digest is concerned.

Time flies and age catches up to us but one thing that we are sure not to forget would be the commercials that familiar faces like Mr. Able himself, Robert Lee Greiner Jr. Unfortunately, “Mr. Able” passed away last October 16 of lung cancer but the memories of all those local commercials continued to move on.

Bob Greiner’s neighbor Larry Zaiger was used to seeing his friend show up in Able Auto Service television commercials late at night and during noontime news broadcasts.

“You see a little white-haired guy standing in the middle of the street talking about Able Auto,” Zaiger said.

While the claims of some products to boost purchasing power may seem harmless, they can also be deceiving. And once that magic word pops up, you know that you will be billed for false advertising no matter how harmless your tagline would be.

Horlicks and Maggi are familiar brands today. While they are easily associated in the candy and food category, it does not exempt them from watching what they claim. In that light, promoting that they make children stronger has placed them in bad ties with Britain’s advertising watchdog and thus have been found using false claims and therefore banned.

If you want to really promote your business, getting the best talent in the market is the best way to go. And for Microsoft Corporation, nothing comes better than getting a popular star of all seasons, Burt Reynolds, to help promote its interactive game called “You’re in the Movies”.

Reynolds has been around. He may not be as active as he was in the 80’s but make no mistake about it, he can still rack it in. And as far as games are concerned, getting a high profile celebrity like him on board is certainly a good way to boost sales…

Carlsberg Beer had a good run in the 1980s and it is just surprising to read that they will be making another line of brands for globalization. You have to wonder what happened to Carlsberg through the years although it is obvious that they took a conservative route by serving their local market.

Furthermore, you may want to wonder why they chose now to be the time to make a run at globalization. On the other hand, it can serve as an alternative towards leading beer brands since people are looking for alternative these days.

Carlsberg, the world’s fourth largest brewery with…
