I think that if McDonald's would partner with some local businesses and store around the holidays, and get coupons out for themselves and others, they could really take off, more than they already are.

The Schwinn bicycle company needs to begin to start focusing more on "personal selling" of its lower end bikes. These are the ones seen in the major department stores. There are no associates that can differentiate the different models based on price etc. https://padlet.com/cmathi03/rvrj650yiwy4/wish/131336214 2016-10-18 00:54:05 UTC https://padlet.com/cmathi03/rvrj650yiwy4/wish/131336214 E. & J. Gallo Winery https://padlet.com/cmathi03/rvrj650yiwy4/wish/131347051 I think E. & J. Gallo Winery should do a sale promotion in the form of a coupon, so they can lure in some new customers or remind customers that maybe haven't purchased their products in a while that they are still around.  It could also be a great way to introduce new wines or new products in general.

They need to get publicity of their "The simpler the better" food campaign They can do this by using social media, commercials, going to college campuses, and meeting with different foodie groups.

I think that they would sell more accessories, warranties, tech service plans, etc. if they were to offer promotions for those add-ons. If something like this were offered, I probably would buy a phone case, screen protector, car charger, extra battery, etc. I have none of those right now. It is great that Apple focuses on their technology, but have promotions for these additional items would increase customer satisfaction, customer loyalty, and profits.
