We dont have much time left; because the new products are suppose to arrive in early next month.B: So we have two weeks left and we must hurry up.C: Most our stocks are clothes and accessories, and they have gone out of fashion.B: Yes, fashions changes quickly. So, to appeal our customers, we must offer great discount for our stock. How much discount would be appropriate?A: What do you think to a 50% discount? Its Christmas season, a big sale time, discount is everywhere, so we must offer bigger discount than usual.B: Yes, I agree with you. The most important thing at this time is to sell off the stock and make space for our new products.C: You two have a point here. Anyway, our products are end-of-range and need to be cleared out soon. But I am wondering whether we will offer the same discount on all products?A: I prefer the same discount because people nowadays dont like to bother themselves with calculating and differentiating. They are attracted by a 50% discount. And if they find our products are actually offered with different discounts, they would feel being cheated.B: Yes, I feel the same way. 50% discount is easy to catch attention and easy to handle. We dont want to get our sales staff confused, do we?A: All right then, 50% discount for all our stock. Now lets move onto our last term. How can we inform our customers the clearance sale?C: There are many ways to inform our customers. For example, we can advertise our sale on TV, radio and newspapers.B: I dont think we have time for that, you know, there are just two weeks left, and it takes at least a week to contact the concerned department s to have our advertisement finally put on media. Then just a week left. Im really not sure how much effect it will have on customers.A: Absolutely. And the advertising rates are high. I dont think we can afford that. Our stock is already sold at a loss.C: Yeah, what you said is true.A: Theres an alternative, we can print leaflets and distribute them on the street and in the communities. In this way we can attract a lot of peoples attention at a low cost.C: Good idea, and we may also send emails to our customers or publish the news of our sale on line, and its particular free!B: Wonderful! It seems everything has been work out for selling our old stock.第四辑Test 2Promoting a new modelThe car manufacturer you work for plans to produce a new model and to target consumers between 18 and 25 years old.You have been asked to make suggestions for promoting the car.Discuss the situation together, and decide:l Which features of a car might be important to the target groupl How an advertising campaign could present the carl Where you could advertise the car推出新款车你所在的汽车生产厂方案推出一款新车， 并将目标人群定为18岁到25岁的顾客群。请一起讨论， 为这款车的促销提出意见，内容包括：l 这款车的那些特性对目标人群来说很重要l 在广告宣传中应该以怎样的形式推出这款车l 广告应该发布在哪里【思路点拨】主题讨论要点讨论结果原因Promoting a new modelFeatures of the modelIt relies on the feature of the target consumersTarget-based strategyThe form of the advertising campaignsInvite pop stars to present the modelIt has to appeal to the youngstersThe launching of the new modelInternet and text message; the most popular media among young adults【词汇&短语】主要使用者 prime user手机短信 text message 小体积 compact size 配置，装置 outfit第一印象 at first sight战略，策略 strategy【参考范例】
