Peer Review

This is my final blog for public relations research! Today I will be commenting on two of my classmates posts. First, I took a look at Roberta's fashion blog. In this particular post, she discusses the importance of surveys in the fashion industry. She highlights the importance of consumer feedback, and how this benefits designers. Consumers can rate customer service, new designs, and help predict new trends. For example, if a survey is given to a particular store's customer base whether they like a new pair of leggings or not, these results may influence whether more of this product is made. She also gives us a great example of E!'s fashion police. On this show, celebrity figures are given the opportunity to rate other celebrities' outfit choices. Viewers are encouraged to go online and rate the outfit.
Another blog post I decided to review is Stephanie's Jersey Shore Experiment. In this blog post Stephanie discusses how the MTV hit Jersey Shore was produced to examine the chemistry of individuals. It is similar to Real World because it puts strangers together in a house, yet different because many of these individuals share common interests and share a similar look. Jersey Shore has produced more controversy than any other show recently, yet it has had the highest ratings. Overall, the success of Jersey Shore has proven to be an experimental succes.
