Talk:Venezuela national football team

message: I removed the sentence that was in parenthesis: "(perhaps due to the enormous popularity of baseball in the country)". This sentence was right after it was said that Venezuela is historically the weakest team in the CONMEBOL.

message: Where exactly did the name Gustin Gang name come from?  —Preceding unsigned comment added by 66.232.220.225 (talk) 04:26, 15 May 2008 (UTC)
replies: text: This Google maps link points to Gustin Street in Boston. Perhaps that is why it in the article. Unfortunately, the words "Google Maps" do not explain this. Potentially, that means including the link is original research. However, tThe presence of this link to Gustin Street, Boston is curious, but it is not enough to verify that the gang is named after the street. (Or was the street named after the gang?) The naming connection needs to be stated or explained and supported by citing a reliable source, if one exists. Otherwise, it is speculation. Part of the reason I have tagged the "Google Maps" external link, rather than removing it as meaningless, is because the link occupies a place in the article where the name of the gang and any connection to Gustin Street, Boston, ought to be explained. If it was, the, currently inappropriate, external link which is in the article text could be turned into a citation to further support any statement made. - Cameron Dewe (talk) 01:01, 20 November 2021 (UTC)

Minimarkets are a form of test marketing that involves placing the product in a limited number of retail outlets and observing sales. CDSMs are a variation of that and involve scanner technology to track both the media exposure and buying habits of a large group of people Information Resources Inc. and ACNielsen offer it to packaged-goods manufacturers. The former uses eight US cities and tracks the buying habits of 100,000 people who have monitoring technology installed in their TV sets, report exposure to print media and purchase all their items through approved retailers. Various incentives such as lotteries are used to guarantee cooperation and the reward to the marketers are a record of cable TV viewing, media penetration family-by-family purchases and 95% of all store sales of tested items
