Fernando Torres will score goals for Chelsea

Fernando Torres, one of the biggest names in football, the name that brought fear, the name that was all over the news, radio and in newspapers. The goals he scored and the chances he created was an exciting moment for his supporters lives, it was like they have witnessed a miracle and received a gift from God. For others he may have been even something bigger. In summary, he was unbelievable. Fast as a bullet, mentally strong as a steel. Every week in every game he scored goals for Liverpool. It was not a surprise anymore to anyone that he will score, but fans never got tired cheering for him. Every time he scored he managed to do it differently and bring something new to the game.



Until the black cloud came, this happened when he signed for Chelsea. What was it bad luck or a maybe a curse?
In my opinion, these are not the reasons for his failure. There is something within the team that created his lack of performance. Most notably, it is the slow tempo of play and the lack of discipline in AVB's team.
We need fast players on the midfield to create chances for him. He is like a bullet and only his team players slow performance is able to stop him from scoring a goal. Instead of playing backwards they should push it forward.  The only players I see able of doing this are Torres, Mata and Sturridge. The rest shoot either at a goal keeper or high in to the sky, instead of breaking through the defence and trying to get into the box.
Fernando Torres needs to be confident in scoring; he should not forget a striker’s desire in scoring goals like he did in Liverpool. While playing for Liverpool, he had support from two other team players but he still preferred to shoot, as he was confident that he will score. In Chelsea he prefers to pass the ball to someone else, however, the more he gives his opportunity of scoring, the greater his confidence in himself falls.
When Jose Mourinho was in charge we were entertained, there were high ambitions and a very, very strong organised squad. Now it feels like everyone plays for themselves. I hope AVB can reorganise his squad before he turns lions in to kittens.
Finally I want to say that, Fernando we want you back to your Liverpool form, even better, we all know and believe you can do it. The only difference now is that the blues will cheer for you like they have never done before.
My adrenalin and blood pressure is going up just from writing this and I just wish it will be the same during games. We all understand that no matter how good you are, you are only one player, and to become the best, as you were before you need the rest of the squad to support you, ''One for all and all for one''.
Good luck to our Chelsea players. Hope we can change history and fulfil our champion’s league dream!

How well known brands became popular

Reasons to Purchase - this is a great advertising mystery.
How well would not think of themselves marketers, they still will not sort through the motives of human behaviour
and do not anticipate in the reaction of buyers. They are looking for insights, classify, bring scientific base, but despite this,
often find the right strategy can be strictly through experimentation.

Why do people choose this brand from a variety of products in this category?
On what quality of the advertised product should be the main focus, to coerce the consumer to buy?

Bundles of thick cardboard flip-top lid, which are now standard package of cigarettes were invented precisely in Marlboro. And not to demonstrate innovation or design ideas. And strictly for promotional purposes -smokers Marlboro walking channel of communication.

Over the years, of course, people have learn ed to pull out a cigarette even from a flip-tops, without taking a packet from their pockets. It's time to come up with a new Marlboro sophisticated packaging, but they do not have time. Dunhill, a brand British American Tobacco, has already made, and even giving their cigarettes more elegant form. In order to get a dose of nicotine from the pack Dunhill, not only you have to open the lid, but the valve. Doing this in the pocket would be almost impossible.

Moreover, for greater luxury of Dunhill named this internal valve with a beautiful word "humidor". Historically, the humidor - a storage box of cigars, which supports the optimal level of humidity, and the aroma does not escape. Dunhill alludes to the consumers that cigarettes in a pack so close in quality and aroma to cigars. And anything that is costing you on average of $1.50 for branded tobacco in Eastern Europe,a pack of Dunhill costs $5.






There is a beautiful legend about how the Estee Lauder began selling  her perfumes. Her business was going down and her products are reluctant to take on the implementation of the stores and showrooms. Then the young Miss Lauder went to the largest perfume shop in New York, and - oh! - She accidentally smashed a bottle on the floor of the spirits. Women customers interested in what kind of wonderful flavor it was, and the store had no option but to just conclude with the Estee Lauder contract.









In the summer of 1896, Henry Heinz was walking around New York, on the street he saw a shoe store advertising, offering its customers "21 style shoes." By analogy, he decided to write on their ketchup and sauces, "57 options". This number had nothing to do with the actual figures range, but Heinz liked it. And impressed buyers.







The history of the brand began in 1879, when Lars Olsson Smith has created a new kind of vodka - «Absolute Rent Bravin» («Absolutely Pure Vodka"). Its main difference - purity, obtained by distillation.

In the 70s already this century, Lars Lindmark took «Absolute Rent Bravin» under his wing. Such a great vodka should move into the market as appropriate: everything had to be "absolute" as the product itself. Gunnar Broman, who dealt with when developing the concept of promotion, he saw in the window of pharmacy traditional Swedish medical bottle with some medicine and was shocked by her goodness and simplicity - and it became the prototype for the packaging, which now knows the whole world. Which - in many ways - and caused a cult status Absolut vodka.

However, it later became clear that the main incentive for buying them was the fact that such a coating pan with very easy to clean, because food is not burnt to the surface. Content of the advertising campaign changed that significantly increased its effectiveness.
 In Russia the first Snickers candy bars appeared in 1992 and positioned as a snack to replace a complete meal. Former Soviet consumer for a long time had to get used to the fact that for lunch instead of soup you can eat a candy bar, and ate it after meals as a "sweet for tea." After a creative services agency took over the brand BBDO Moscow, Snickers reposition for teenagers who are the bulk of all the sweet love and do not like soup.

 After the 1960s advertising started for Alka-Seltzer to drop 2 tablets in a glass of water, not one as before. 2 tablets means sales grew exactly twice. Cunning publicity stunt devised Agency Tinker & Partners.

There is a similar tale about a brilliant marketer who first coined to indicate in the instructions for use of shampoo that it should be applied to the hair twice, leading to a double increase in sales. Well, remember the advertisements of chewing gum in commercials. How many gums did they put in their mouth? I assume your answer is correct, it is 2.

In part, this is the policy of "more for the same price» Pepsi still has, after 75 years. For example, in Russia, Coca Cola sold in bottles of 0.5 ml, and Pepsi - by 0.6.

It produced high-quality court shoes that cost was lower than the industry-leading companies Topsiders. It seemed a good product and low price should have been working on them, but things went bad. Then, in the Timberland took a very simple solution: they raised their prices, so those are much greater than the prices offered by the Topsiders. Sales have increased dramatically. That confirms the authenticity of statements of David Ogilvy "The higher the price, the product becomes more desirable in the eyes of the buyer." The same method "artificially fanned demand" more than a dozen years using luxury-brands.

 At one time tobacco brand Parliament went through same time as Timberland. Initially, prices were below its main rival Marlboro, which also owns Philip Morris, and sales have been fairly modest. For consumers it was very difficult to choose among the masses of the same price range of proposals, and they chose the familiar route (Marlboro), spiting on the exclusivity of the filter 'by Parliament.
