Eye on New Orleans

By

Probably because Saints is playing the Super Bowl 44 this weekend, the nation’s attention also focuses on the city of New Orleans. The city has been struggling since Katrina. I was in New Orleans for the Special Event Show in January. I noticed the city was quite different from the last time I was there in 2003 because I no longer felt the excitement from the local residences.

Super Bowl 44 could be a life time opportunity of changing people’s perceptions of New Orleans. I cannot predict the result of the game, but I believe no matter what the result will be, New Orleans has won the hearts of Americans. The city is delivering a message to the world --- New Orleans is coming back.

The videos today were downloaded from ABCNews.com. The video on the top is about the city of New Orleans; the other is about some snack ideas for the game (you may get an idea from this video of what it takes to work in a stadium and arena as well). Let’s enjoy the game tomorrow!

By
In the unparalleled world of COVID-19, individuals are flooded with choices: whether it be what to eat or what church service to watch.

The 7 P elements include Product, Promotion, Price, Place, Participant, Physical Evidence, and Process.   The 7 Ps framework can assist marketers in making decisions regarding segmentation, positioning, and differentiation.

It’s no secret that the hospitality industry has been hit hard with the current pandemic we are dealing with. From vacant hotel rooms to empty restaurants, sales have plummeted since the outbreak of Covid-19. Some businesses, especially small, are barely surviving. While we are all required to abide by the stay-at-home order that the government placed, the hospitality industry is considered essential. We are the ones that provide shelter and food for individuals. Let’s take a look and see what our industry has done to help market themselves and stay in business during this unpredictable time. Due to the stay-at-home order and people being cautious, people are not taking vacations or staying at hotels for that matter. Hotels are one sector of our industry that got hit the worse. Most hotel sales have dropped at least 50% and many of them decided to shut their doors. We all know how expensive it is to operate a hotel from paying employees to electricity. There are so many things that
