How to write an essay on evaluating a product
This essay will go through some general methods of comparing and evaluate products, and what you can do to make yourself a more informed and better shopper.
First, establish a common ground with the reader
We live in a commercial world. We are inundated with commercialism and consumerism. Most everything we use and consume is branded in some way and we are forced to be materialistic consumers. You go out to eat; do you order the pasta, or the fish? Do you purchase the red shirt or the green shirt? How about the plasma TV, or the new laptop? We live in a world of consumer choice. This can be very overwhelming.
Present real-world product evaluation strategies
If you are looking for a product from a certain company, learn about the company, what levels of quality the company adheres to, what their trademark features are, what their general level of price is.
In today's world how do you evaluate a product? What is it that you look for when you are going to purchase and item? First off, it depends. Each product is different and required different valuation criteria. If you are a collector you know a certain product or product line very well; you know the distinguishing marks of the company, the value of the product the expected level of quality. Do your homework. If you are looking for a product from a certain company, learn about the company, what levels of quality the company adheres to, what their trademark features are, what their general level of price is. The worst thing that could happen is that you go to purchase a product and realize its way out of your price range.
Comparative shopping online - the best way to start research
If you are comparing several products, the easiest and best way to do that is to compare products online. First, you learn about the companies as described above. Then learn about the specific type of product you are comparing. For instance computers, learn what you are looking for in terms of features and what those features cost. Many times you can find product reviews online. They generally range from great to horrid, but in many cases use your best judgment and look at the median level of quality described. Look at your options and what values they have. Many times companies will offer similar computers with different prices based on what comes with the computer or what additional features the company can offer you, these all contribute to the value of the product. Once you've compared and looked at the features and educated yourself you are ready to make the purchase.
Make a real-life product comparison
Let's compare a few products. A Gibson Les Paul guitar against a Mexican built Fender Stratocaster guitar. For these items you may look at the sound of the guitar, the prices, the way the guitar will be used what types of music will be played. Each has a purpose and a reason. The more expensive Les Paul will be American built and of higher quality, the Stratocaster is the Mexican built version of a Fender Stratocaster. Even within the Fender Company, Mexican Stratocasters are less expensive than American built ones. Now comparing Stratocasters to one another, unless you must for some reason have the top end model in many cases the Mexican Stratocaster will serve every purpose just as well as the American, and may be a better deal for you because it is less expensive. All things have a reason.
Not all products are equal, but if you educate yourself about your potential purchase, you can better evaluate your product to make the best possible purchase.
To conclude, educate yourself about the product and the company and you can make the best informed decision. Not all products are equal, but if you educate yourself about your potential purchase, you can better evaluate your product to make the best possible purchase. Do your research, compare online, and learn what marks of quality and standards of value exist for the product. You will learn what the cost is, and then you can make the most informed purchase possible.
