Question 1

You have been running a landscaping business called Trim Grass for about two years. You have developed a special blend of grass seed for your area that you use when you reseed your clients' lawns.

D) Trim Grass will have more expenses.
E) Trim Grass will need to consider different advertising methods.

Accepted Answer

Trim Grass will only have to collect sales tax from sales to customers located in states where the business has a physical presence. This is determined by a concept called "nexus" and varies by state law. If Trim Grass only has physical presence in one state, they only need to collect sales tax on sales to customers located in that state.

Question 2

You decide to start a landscaping business called Trim Grass. You created a Web site, but it doesn't seem to be attracting any clients. So, you decide to explore advertising on the Web. Which of the following advertising methods probably would not be beneficial?
A) Banner ads
B) Pop-up or pop-under ads
C) Spamming
D) Permission marketing
E) Viral marketing

Accepted Answer

Spamming is an unethical and intrusive form of advertising that involves sending unsolicited messages to a large number of people, which is likely to annoy potential customers and damage the reputation of the business. It is also illegal in many countries. Therefore, spamming would not be beneficial for the Trim Grass landscaping business. Instead, the business should focus on permission-based and targeted advertising methods such as banner ads, pop-up or pop-under ads, and viral marketing that will reach potential customers who are interested in landscaping services.

Accepted Answer

Multichanneling refers to the practice of interacting with customers through multiple channels (e.g., physical locations, online, mobile apps) to sell products or services. It does not specifically relate to the method of purchasing goods or services, such as fertilizer for a business. The other options (forward auction, reverse auction, Name Your Own Price, and electronic marketplace) are all methods that can be used to purchase goods or services.
