MARKETING INTRO

I like to shop at Target, and i eat alot of Wendy's =)

I think they target market by advertising in the papers and on TV. When i go to the store they have everything displayed so pretty that just makes you wanna buy it because they show it off so well. Wendy's does the same thing, the advertisement let you see the food and how yummy it is.

These companies know how to show their products!
