Third Party Vendors on Amazon

Topic: Third party vendors on Amazon.  They make up a pretty big portion of Amazon’s sales each year.  How has this elevated Amazon?  How does this improve the customer experience? 

Also, we will reflect on this year for our club/what we can improve on next year.  We can talk about our future projects and how we can get club funds.

Welcome to Andover Business Club

Our mission For Phillips Academy students who are interested in entrepreneurship and business, Andover Business Club hosts weekly discussions about real companies in the market and provides hands-on business experiences through running various startups at Andover.  ____________________________________________________________________________ We believe in the power of every voice, which is why our meetings are discussion-based and designed with the Harkness method at the core.

Advertising & Branding

 Another great ABC meeting this week! We had a great meeting about advertising and branding, focusing specifically on a few different case studies and topics. We had engaging discussions around the strength & usefulness of branding, relating to Apple, Starbucks, Supreme, Amazon, Facebook, and other social media companies.  We started our discussion talking about phrases that make a company so popular. Phrases such as "Netflix and chill" or Nike's "just do it" are what we centered the conversation around. These phrases are exactly how a company gets free advertising and creates brand exposure. They allow people to learn and remember a company. We then moved on to how brands built continuity and trust through branding and advertising. Jake from State Farm is a great example of the advertising, and Starbucks shutting down worldwide for a day to train baristas is an example that shows a company committed to quality.  Moving on, we discussed verbs for a short per
