The product is the fat buster 2013 DVD, and the target audience is the hopelessly obese, or those simply looking for some positive reinforcement/entertainment in their lives.

Its key promotional selling point is that the price of food is going up, and that by eating less, you are getting healthier, and richer, at the same time. Everyone wants to be a little healthier and a little (a lot) richer, so this product applies to many people. The negative features of the product are that the consumer must apply discipline and work, in order to benefit, and the amount of time needed to benefit from the program, to obtain results, is very long term. The selling pitch is that 5$ saved on food per day is 155$ a month in savings, so the DVD promotes a financial gain of 1860$ a year. It promotes itself as an investment for only 12$ for the DVD, plus another 10$ a month, for an active and updated subscription, since there is no reason to overeat and spend extra money on the extra food.

b)
The products identity is called the "fat buster 2013." The aura of being just another product will seem sarcastically insulting to the customer. This is planned in a predictive way, so that many people looking to mock the product, or those that are curious, and think of it as a joke, will be surprised to see, that
