Social Listening in Marketing--PUR

Image
Social Listening in Marketing I selected the PUR water filter/system to review since I currently have a PUR pitcher filter to filter my well water. I am pleased with it and wanted to know what other PUR customers thought. I used Brita for about two years; however, it seemed to have an aftertaste that I didn’t care for, so I switched to a PUR faucet system first. There wasn’t an aftertaste, in fact, no taste at all, which I liked. I liked the blinking light to let me know when to change the filter, and at the time, my local recycling site took the filters.

My First Blog

Marketing Me: Sally Filice This is my first blog of any kind; I am looking forward to learning about the blogging world through this Marketing class with Professor Rob Priewe.  Everyone likes their name pronounced correctly, and my last name is often mispronounced, the worst being Fi Lice, shudder. It is pronounced very similar to Feliz as in Feliz Navidad but with a 'fleece' sound at the end. The spelling is  Italian, not Hispanic, meaning i and not e after the F. I am an Accounting Major at Linn-Benton Community College, a fantastic Community College in the Albany area of Oregon. I enjoy doing anything with numbers, such as tax preparation, and now the Accounting world, debits, credits, and when it balances, it is very satisfying. To that end, I want to learn the best way to Market myself when I start looking for a job that fits into my tax/accounting plan.
