He refuses to advertise in local magazines and newspapers, but instead sends personal invites to local celebrities such as athletes and television personalities and businesspeople. He then sits back and lets word of mouth do its thing. Marlo has used an unusual, celebrity-driven method of ___________ to appeal to Edmonton’s upper class. a) Marketing b) Branding c) Informing d) Accruing 4 Use the following viewpoints to answer Questions 9-11: 1 We need more regulations for consumer goods. With so much of our stuff coming from China, I’m worried that kids are putting toys with lead paint into their mouths. In fact, I’d be in favour of restricting stuff that comes from China and other places with shady business practices. Like I heard about that factory that makes Apple products and how the workers are treated poorly. Not sure if I want to support that. 2 We need to keep borrowing costs down so people can borrow money to buy things and invest in stocks and bonds. When interest and savings rates are high people tend to keep their money in the bank – that does nothing for no one. Keep the interest rate low and people will spend their money and borrow money. This creates jobs and helps grow the economy. 3 What Canada needs is more investment by the government in policies and ideas that will help Canada in the long-term. So that might mean higher taxes, but I’d rather have a sustainable health care system than an extra $500 in my pocket every year. 4 I believe that it is immoral of this government to cut taxes, even the GST, when we have hundreds of BILLIONS of dollars of debt. Do you know that every man, woman and child in Canada owes $14’000 as their share of the national debt? We should raise taxes and cut government spending so that we can pay down our debt as soon as possible. Alberta did it and now they have a rainy day fund….the feds should do the same. 5 9.
