9.You're in a department store and you see a couple of attractive young women looking at a sweater.You listen to their conversation:
"I can't believe it--a Lorenzo Bertolla!They are almost impossible to find.Isn't it beautiful?And it's a lot cheaper than the one Sara bought in Rome."
They leave and you go over to see this incredible sweater.It's nice and the price is right.You've never heard of Lorenzo Bertolla,but those girls looked really stylish.They must know.So,you buy it.You never realize that those young women are employees of an advertising agency.They are actually paid to go from store to store,talking loudly about Lorenzo BertoHa clothes.
Every day we notice what people are wearing,driving and eating.If the person looks cool,the product seems cool,too.This is the secret of undercover (暗中进行的)marketing.Companies from Ford to Nike are starting to use it.
Undercover marketing is important because it reaches people that don't pay attention to traditional advertising.This is particularly true of the MTV generation----consumers between the age of 18and 34.It is a golden group.They have a lot of money to spend,but they don't trust ads.
So advertising agencies hire young actors to"perform"in bars and other places where young adults go.Some people might call this practice misleading,but marketing executive Jonathan Ressler calls it creative."Look at traditional advertising.Its effectiveness is decreasing."
However,one might ask what exactly is"real"about of young women pretending to be enthusiastic about a sweater?Adverting executives would say it's no less real than an ad.The difference is that you know an ad is trying to persuade you to buy something.You don't know when a conversation you overhear is just a performance.

6.Nothing says love like a dozen long-stemmed roses on Valentine's Day.More than a million roses will be sold during this festival for lovers,the biggest day of the year for the nation's rose industry.It's going to remain the most popular flower because love never goes out of style.
Yes,a rose is a rose is a rose.But selling them is no longer a beautiful experience for traditional flower shops.Supermarkets now offer convenience to the busy and discount rose shops help those hopelessly in love save money.Roses only is a good example of a discount rose retailer that was transformed from a traditional shop to answer the challenge in the'90s.
Inside this store on Sixth Avenue near 40 th Street,contemporary white furniture and wall-to-wall mirrors give it an expensive look.Customers move about freely among the counters,looking eagerly at the roses in more than 50 colors from shelf to shelf.Some customers say it's the high quality of the roses that attracts them there."I spent﹩20 but the flowers looked like I paid 60 or 70 dollars,"says one customer.
Studies show more people are buying roses in ones,two and threes these days.In fact,more than half of all roses are sold in bunches of fewer than a dozen.But Roses Only's low prices encourage people to spend.Even on Valentine's Day,when the price of a dozen roses and delivery can soar as high as﹩150,12 of Roses Only's most expensive flowers sell for just﹩35.The company's key to success is to hold prices down by controlling every link in the rose chain.It grows its own roses in the sunshine of the Andes Mountains.In addition,the company also sells other items such as ballons and stuffed animals.
While discount rose retailers are witnessing their business bloom,U.S.rose growers aren't able to compete with the fierce foreign competition.More than 57% of roses sold in the USA are grown in other countries.The biggest foreign producers are Colombia and Ecuador,which accounted for almost 90% of the total imported last year.The trend has hurt domestic rose growers such as Johnson Flowers of California,considered to be this country's leading producer.
Now,instead of fighting overseas rivals,the Johnsons are trying to work with them."We have a few big fighting overseas rivals,the Johnsons are trying to work with them."We may also widen our business to include the service area and be a representative for overseas flower producers."
As a result of severe competition,those in the rose business long for the good old days,whereas ordinary people benefit from the low price.

A new draft(草案) regulation on tobacco control was published by the State Council on its official website to ask for public opinions,which will offer people protection from second-hand smoking.According to the bill,smoking in indoor public places and outdoor  spaces is banned.All forms of tobacco advertising,along with smoking scenes in films and TV shows,are also not allowed.
