I think people will want to buy our product because it is small enough to carry it in their pocket. It comes in many different colours to suit all audiences. It has the latest technology all included in one. It has a two year guarantee so people will feel confident to buy the product knowing if it has problems, it can be exchanged. Also it is good for all age groups so they will all be entertained equally.

What product do you think your group will advertise?

Our group came up with a boredom buster for all ages. It is up with the latest technology and is a combination of a television, MP3 player, computer (with internet) with games. It has a touch screen so it is easy to use for everyone. It comes in various colours from blacks and silvers to bold and bright colours. The product doesn't have a name yet, but we are hoping to come up with a name that is both catchy and professional. It has a two year guarentee even though it is designed so it is not easily broken.
