Harrison Kirby: Business Analysis

1207 Words5 Pages

As an Intern for a small business owner, Harrison Kirby, research needs to be conducted on solving a problem he has faced while improving his business. Kirby does not have the amount of inventory or the amount of data necessary to create intelligent systems that his competing online golf stores do. This is creating a hard time for Kirby, because every product he carries has plenty of resources to help his customers make a decision, but those resources are available on his competitor’s websites. Amazon for example, does a fantastic job of using their data to provide their customers with “intelligent” suggestions, give them percentages on items bought and looked at, and even suggest relative products and combinations of items to buy. Although …show more content…

The site provides numerous customer reviews seen on one of their products called PING G30 Driver. This product has 77 reviews and is rated 4.8 stars (Golf Galaxy, 2016), unlike Golf Discounts that has the same product. This website provides their customers with a lot of information on their products and reviews for their customers to make a decision on. Golf Galaxy does not have any related product information. They only present similar items from the same category selected on the website. They also do not show related products that people purchase after looking at a specific item or what people purchase instead of the current item. This website may provide a lot of information on products and how customers feel about them, but this site does not offer suggestions on combinations of items that customers typically …show more content…

The site provides customers with a section at the bottom of the page called “Other Great Gear to go with your…” (RockBottomGolf.com, n.d.), which is combination of different items that customers typically purchase with that searched item. Rock Bottom Golf’s website shows the manufacturer images and description of products. They also provide users with a price comparison to the manufacturer. On every product they have this information present, such as on a pair of shorts the manufacturer’s price is $55 and Rock Bottom Price is $19.99 (RockBottomGolf.com, n.d.). This is a cool feature and lets the customers know the percentage off the price and what they are saving by buying the product on their website. The site also offers users with related products. Rock Bottom Golf has a “You May Also Like” (RockBottomGolf.com, n.d.) section too, containing items that may be similar to the search or what customers have bought. Users on this site are able to make decisions on purchases with the help of customer reviews. The majority of their products do have more than one review, which means they could potentially be using a third

  • The Story Of Tom Brennan Analysis

    1496 Words  | 6 Pages

    The significance of the experience of transition lies in individuals gaining a deeper understanding of themselves and others. JC Burke’s prose fiction text, ‘The Story of Tom Brennan’, focuses on the transition of the Brennan family, and Tom in particular, from feelings of guilt, anger, depression and despair to acceptance, reconciliation and optimism, in the aftermath of Daniel’s car accident that caused the deaths of two innocent teenagers and the quadriplegia of his cousin, Finn. The other related text, ‘Up’, a fantasy animated film, written by Bob Peterson, reveals Carl’s transition from denying the death of his wife and regretting not fulfilling their dream of moving to Paradise Falls to unexpectedly making new friends who help him accept the passing of his wife. Both texts and my visual representation reflect the protagonists’ deeper understanding of themselves and others as a result of the transition. ‘The Story of Tom Brennan’ (2005) is about the aftermath of a car accident caused by Daniel Brennan, affecting his family and the town of Mumbilli.
