Instant Delivery

Sunday scaries are a real thing. After a long weekend of cheering on the Dawgs, my friends and I don't want to leave the couch let alone go run errands. So, this means we order food online either from UberEats or Bulldawg Delivery. These delivery services offer a host of options to choose from and we all end up ordering whatever we're craving rather than settling on one restaurant, which is really nice. I was extremely envious of my friend when a Pub Sub arrived at our door. I had no clue Publix had started delivering! She even got a large bag of Salt & Vinegar Cape Cod chips and a bottle of shampoo and toothpaste. Publix is a far drive in perspective of other grocery stores and restaurants in Athens, so the fact that they now deliver is huge! If you wanted, you could have all your groceries and other needed items delivered to you. Someone literally goes and does your shopping for you then drives it over. Personally, I enjoy grocery shopping and running errands most of the time, but sometimes (like a lazy Sunday) I definitely would use the delivery service to fulfill my needs. The delivery service industry is growing like crazy. With the rise of technology, there's a whole new perspective in the shopping world and it has changed the whole dynamic. Rumor has it that one day, Amazon will be storing things in blimps and dropping them off at you house via drones. Amazon also delivers fresh groceries and any product you could really think of in a two day period. It's quick and easy and free delivery, so people aren't hesitant to use the service. The food box delivery industry has also grown tremendously. With the busy schedules of today's society, people enjoy receiving a box of ingredients with instructions to cook a healthy meal. My roommates and I used HelloFresh last year and it was great. Companies are racing to jump on the trend and become prevalent in the marketplace. Digital technology has allowed for consumers to have access to all new products and convenience. People prefer ease and quickness these days and the food delivery service aids in that aspect. Here are some photos of a few of the popular brands.

    This is a great read. I can relate so much to those lazy Sundays too! I do think Amazon is plotting to take over the world. Over the past couple of years they seem to be a step ahead of all competition.... in every segment. When I found out about their food delivery and the future of it... I thought it was so crazy- but so smart. This consumer world is all about convenience! I was surprised at the takeoff of the food box delivery. So many ladies brag about it at work but I think the price is still too high for me!

Dawgs Takeover

Image
The Dawgs cross the Mason-Dixon Line for the first time since 1965 and UGA fans were sure to follow. I was one of the 40,000 fans who made the trip and attended the legendary game in South Bend vs Notre Dame. There was so much hype leading up to, during and after the trip. Chicago was full of UGA fans who also took over the Cubs stadium Friday and Bears stadium Sunday. As we strolled through the city, it was non-stop chatter and shouting with passing fellow UGA fans. There was such a strong sense of togetherness with all of us no matter what age congregating there to cheer on the Dawgs. Social media posts were flooded with UGA fans documenting their travels and we met up with many friends that way. UGA took over bars, restaurants, tailgates and stadiums. We may have been a bit obnoxious, but hey we got the job done and had fun while doing so. The marketing of the sporting event brought together so many people and social media platforms shared the experiences. There were many trending h...

Cannes Festival Day 3

Day 3 could be considered the first real day of the festival. Everything was open! All the beaches and cabanas had free food and drinks, which was really awesome. Walking into the Palais I could immediately tell it was way more crowded. A big group of us rushed to the Joanna Coles in Conversation with Karlie Kloss. I was excited to see Joanna because she's such a strong woman force in the business world. Karlie has also done very well in her modeling career and entrepreneurship's. Sadly, this talk disappointed me. The professors definitely were right about celebrities not always making a great impression or overall impact. I admired Karlie's passions and desire to speak her voice rather than be "just a vehicle for products and brands." The talk just seemed to drag and be very repetitive. I'm very impressed at what all she's done and managed for the age of 24. She compared herself to Hannah Montana bc before social media she kept her model life and school ...

Cannes Festival Day 7

Pride Day Friday! YouTube Beach hosted Pride Day for the first time and they went all out! We were some of the first ones to enter in and it was thrilling because of all the energy, bright colors and happiness. It felt good to be apart of supporting a community that has been through a lot of hard times. LGBT is evolving and progressing in a positive direction, which is amazing. After taking it all in, I attended the first talk of the day called A Brands Power to Shift Social Rights hosted by Google. They addressed the importance for gender and LGBT awareness within advertising. There's much social media backlash towards the community. Times are changing and people should start to embrace individuals for who they are and let them live their own life to the fullest. Companies are starting to act as a force of good and attempting to end discrimination. For example, Ben & Jerry's refused to give 2 scoops of the same ice cream flavor to anyone who was opposed to gay marriage. Ro...
