Mass Markets!

As the railroads grew, many industries took leaps forward also. Industries began to rely on a new type of marketing structure. This new way of marketing would reach more people which in return would increase products by a lot. Through mass marketing companies were able to advertise there business through magazines and store books. In major cities, things were being made a lot quicker and faster cause of the higher demand on items and goods. The way of transportation through railroads made it possible for people to order things from catalogs and have it shipped to them instead of them having to get them. This mainly appealed to housewife's, and was a good marketing structure for them. While this all was good, some things got bad. Over producing of items and of meats was a common thing during this time. So meat would generally be wasted or sold a fairly low cost. The impact of mass marketing was great, it sought to paint a bigger picture for marketing which in turn it did.

Introduction to the Second Industrial Revolution.

     In the early 1800's life started to gradually began to shift from a simplistic enviorment to a more technological era. Water and steam where most popular for power during the early 1800's. Goods and items were made in peoples homes, and were taken out through horseback to sell to towns and communities.
    Around the time the late 1800's hit, things began to take a rapid fast change. Technology began to maximize the way or rather the speed things here done. Electric power started taking over steam and water power very rapidly. People began to work in factories rather then working from inside their homes. The faster ways of transport moved goods to people alot faster than it had ever had before.
