3rd Week EOC


Being a cohesive group within our own individuality has always been a goal for most women I know who are going out for a couple of cocktails with a quick bite.  Even a pack of men, who are out for beers, find it awkward showing up with the same patterned shirt or style of dress, wearing checker print shirts alike. Unless you’re in uniform, it doesn’t make you stand out in the crowd. 

I purpose “Best Dressed”, an app that acts as an event fashion stylist amongst friends to help avoid showing up in the same attire.  I can recall a time or another where someone arrived with less than appropriate clothing on too.  This app would also be great for Family photos and office functions.  I am not familiar with an app being out and/or being popular for such reasons as “Best Dressed”.  Why not avoid the embarrassment of it all and let “Best Dressed” style your next event? 
“Best Dressed” will sync to all attending within your social group keeping them informed of the latest weather as well as links to fashion trends based on a profile survey required to determine you style and favorite silhouettes for different body types by gathering this information and the same as your fellow ‘go-ers’.  By adding a theme song to the event will also act as the tempo for the night or expression.

The main idea behind it would be to properly announce what you will be wearing by a multitude of descriptions to your friends, and help keep time updates for a synchronized arrival for a seamless entrance!   Eventually leading to the actual event being able to send invites directly and/or privately.  Best Dressed can/will serve as a promoting platform for events of an array of multifaceted outings.

Best customer service experience

As discussed in class, one of my best customer services experiences has to be a time I was on port visit in Palma de Mallorca, Spain.  My friends and I had just arrived after our long voyage across the Atlantic.  We were all hungry but for more than a burger.  What we got was better than imagined. Our table was ready right away which is a plus considering we were by foot.  Immediately the celebratory spirits filled the room; connection despite the language barrier was felt and the need for a great beverage was recommended.  Our first pitcher of made to order Sangria was our entertainment while our entrées were cooking to perfection.  The taste resonates in my mind to this day.  As well as the level of services that were made available to use during the remainder of the visit.
  “Brands affect people’s live simply because they are part of our daily choices and decisions” (More Than a Name: An Introduction to Branding, page 32) and this instants proves true.  My friends and I went back throughout our whole trip, telling all that we knew, even taking more friends each visit.  Although the liberty call lasted 4 days, the amount of people who visited the restaurant grew just by word of mouth.  The employees and quality of their products spoke wonders of the establishment.  Just that quick this steak house became the talk of the ship.  To this day I have remembered my time in Palma, Spain for thirteen years and for many more years to come. 
If ever I am to travel back to Palma, one of my first priorities would be to retrace my steps and find this restaurant, hoping it has survived whatever economic strife may have plagued the area and order myself a steak dinner.
