Wal-Mart Offering Free Shipping for Online Buys
Recently, every market has high challenging to invite customer to buy their stuff in their store. Most of markets usually have their own method or strategy to attract people, and it depends on situation of political circumstance. Wal-Mart is a successful market in America because Wal-Mart has a good marketing. Using an event to sale the products in market is one of all strategy of Wal-Mart, and the method is well using to attract people.



Announcing on Tuesday, Wal-Mart will offer free shipping to the customers, and there are over 60000 items, which is including in free shipping’s item list, releasing to purchase. Most of the items are Electronic, jewelry and toys. Steve Nave, senior vice president and general manager of Wal-Mart said that they really want to give a hand to customers saving money in holiday season. Because of this event in Wal-Mart, people purchased a lot of goods even though economic system is slowly improving. Most of customer didn’t have to consider about the stuff in front of them when the products was very cheap. There are some fact about free shipping, free shipping will happen when the price of good beyond 69 dollar or more. This program saved customer’s money around 25 million dollar on free shipping during the holiday, and the product will deliver to customer’s house for free. In conclusion, free shipping strategy is successful plan in recently economic problem.



I think that Wal-Mart is very intelligent because they know that all customers want good service for free so they are pleasure to buy stuff in Wal-Mart even in economic problem.

GM seeks to raise $13bn from share offering
Now a day, there is much transportation in the world but there are few companies that successful. GM is transportation, which is car. Even though GM is not popular in Thailand, but GM is extremely popular in America. Gm is produced in America so it must be very strong and quality.



GM car is a big band in United State. The GM’s company has share or stock, which value 18 billion dollar, and there are 365 million shares. Each share values 26 to 29 dollar, and the last 60 million shares valued 50 dollar. In the third quarter GM believes that they will gain a lot of money from selling car. Government came out to control the company because GM in the past have crisis on financial. Government needs to give a hand to stay the company which costs 50 billion dollar. All Government money helps GM company a lot but GM still under US treasury. At first, GM was going to get bankruptcy. People said that GM is a good band because GM car is quality. In the near future shares of GM are going to increase over 50 dollar.


I think that GM is a luxury car because it has a good design or it was my type, and the think that government gives a hand to help GM because they know that GM is quality and strong. I believe that it becomes popular in Thailand in soon.

Gold at fresh record high

Gold at fresh record high
In recently year, Gold became one of all investment to gain benefits in near future but there are many factors increasing gold price. Gold is an expensive resource from nature because Gold needs many centuries to form many kinds of mineral together. Gold was formed into accessory instead of other product because it is rare.



Gold price is up to 1400 dollar per ounce because of high price of gold, Federal Reserve have to decrease dollar’s value. There are several factors to make gold’s price high, and the biggest factor among all factor is oil’s price. When oil price is grown up, every product’s price is grown up including gold. In London, Gold price is increasing 0.02 per day, and it happened about 2 year and continued until today. According to increasing of gold’s price, Gold is demanded by big investors. Also, other commodities price is increasing with oil price and gold such as copper, sugar, cotton and else. India fears increasing sugar price because it is main export of India. If sugar price grow up, people demand is decreasing.



In my opinion, gold is one of factors needed to control because there are many effects from gold price. Government should come out and control selling gold over price.

Game changes in quest for low-cost sources

In recently year, many companies faced financial crisis all around the world. They need new strategy to run the company. There are many non expectable problems in markets so several countries expect to settle their company into the right place, which save money from their pocket. China was an only country, where located in uncountable resource.



In China, Beijing, global companies want to reduce the cost of materials in order to gain more advantages. In this point, China has very low material so many foreign countries choose so business with China. Even though, labor price and finance crisis increased but demand from foreign counties didn’t decrease. They want to find place where is low cost of labor. Many countries have open opportunity to everyone to invest their money on the countries, and they use their countries sourcing as avail to attract people. All around the world countries already did something to make their business receiving the most benefits. Company, who access to the local markets, must receive better advantages, and they move their supplies so flexibly. They must plan how to move their supplies if they face some problem such as shipping delay.

Game changes in quest for low-cost sources
In my opinion, I think every company has their strategy but located in wrong place. Those companies got so much troubles such as spend much money more than other countries. China got good marketing because it is an only country, which has no finance crisis.

Also, Vodafone know about what country is new market so Vodafone suddenly invest in new market country.

Vodafone is one of the popular mobile phone in India because they have many budgets on investment. More than 116 million people are using Vodafone. Vodafone faced problem on tax, which is eleven million dollar, so Vodafone need to go to the court to give the word because Vodafone avoided paying tax. Vodafone co-operate with Essar Company, which is located in India, in order to access to new market. They have planned to announce people that 3G system is going to release. They invest 500 million dollar on 3G system. Vodafone Group chief executive, Vittorio Colao said they need more certainty from customer to confirm his investigate in Economic Times, India news paper.




According to the news, Vodafone is going to invest on 3G after Vodafone finished giving the word in the court. I think Vodafone is intelligent because the company know that they need native people to access new market so they participate with Essar Company.
