When testing students in grades 4 to 7, we think they will choose the name brand item more often because brands are often tied to popularity and the belief that a product is better.

Most people we questioned wanted real crocs,but why?

-One answer was because they don't give you blisters, but with research we found they both give you blisters. 

-One person said “real because they last longer”, real crocs, if you wear them frequently they will last 3-5 years. There are many cheap brands knocking off the look of the original Crocs beach clog, but they are not made from the same durable, odor  reducing and comfortable patented Croslite material. So that is true. But you can buy 12 pairs of 5$ crocs for the same price as 60$ crocs . 

-One thing you can do with crocs is flex, yes but if you wanted to you could flex about saving.

fake /not name brand

-one person said they would rather dollarama crocs because they are nice, most no name crocs are good. Online I've seen people review/say dollarama crocs are comfier and more flexible than crocs

Things in general 

• One person said “Real brand because they last long and look good” but that's not always the case. I know normal everyday things that look amazing and last, like belts, shoes , shirts, dresses, etc.

• Another person said “Name brand. Because some companies like nike produce good reliable stuff that looks and feels good reliable stuff that looks and feels great otherwise Gucci, Vittan are overpriced and unreliable.”    

Nike has a 3/5 on quality and value 2.5/5 on service returns, and shipping.

 Louis vuitton has a ratting of 1.8 75%=⅕ 17%=5/5 

Gucci 1.5/5

Crocs 5/5=87% 4/5=8% 3/5=2% 2/5=1% 1/5=2%

So i mean nike is good better than louis and gucci but crocs are by far the best rated.

What marketing tactics are used

Well first off celebrities wear their things so if you get a celebrity to partner with you it will help. 

Gucci's items are luxurious and classic.

Louis Vuitton is established as luxurious; its items are known for using high quality materials and craftsmanship.

Nike is one of the best-known athletic footwear. It is known for its high-quality sneakers it has always been committed to promoting the development of sports shoe technology .Nike provides a variety of different types of sports shoes its designs are usually stylish and attractive,and it cooperates with many well-known athletes, celebrities and designers. 

Crocs embrace their unique appeal, leveraging celebrity collaborations, and engaging with customers through social media, Crocs has managed to create a devoted following and expand their market reach. 

We used paper to write down the questions and we tested the same amount of people from each class, 3 boys and 3 girls. Grade 7 we only tested 2 boys and 2 girls.

We got paper ripped them in half and wrote two different questions: Would your rather name brand Crocs or knock offs? Would you rather name brand items or other brands? We ddi 3 females and 3 males in each class but grade 7 we did 2 female and 2 males. We got the kids to do it outside of the classroom. After we got the answers we looked over them and used it to help answer our question: Are name brands better and worth the money? 

Hypothesis:

When testing students in grades 4 to 7, we think they will choose the name brand item more often because brands are often tied to popularity and the belief that a product is better.
