DQY Ecological eggs

A brand can be considered to be an intangible quality contract with consumers. Consumers buy a particular brand of product because it represents the same quality, taste or performance that they have experienced before. Egg used to be an unbranded commodity but this company has now pioneered to give its eggs a brand and a "birthday". It has picked the right time after various incidents of food scares from China while consumers now look for some kind of guarantees for the food they eat. It is a sound strategy. However, it could be an uphill battle to secure distribution, given the fact that the egg business in supermarket chains is monopolized with their own imports. Hope it will be able to build a strong enough consumer pull with more promotions so that the chains will take them in.

I met with the project director of DQY last December at the Hong Kong Brands and Products Expo. As you say, it is great to see Chinese companies care about the quality of their products and develop innovative approaches.

In this case, I am not expert enough to know if their concept will work, but I guess it will be pretty hard. And if replenishment is not efficient, customers may be pretty scared to see the "birth date" on the packaging. Would be interesting to see what are people's expectations in terms of eggs birth dates. I hope they did that research.

What you said is very true. It takes more education too. How fresh is fresh ? As a consumer, even if I know the birthdate, how long from the birthdate when the eggs are still fresh ? One week ? Two weeks ? If they communicate about a freshness standards, logistic problems begins where you will need to replace all unsold old eggs like the milk people do. 5 outles may be manageable but what if 300 outlets ? I can't imagine how costly it would be.

PUMA Agitation watch

Image
This is a new line of sport watches from PUMA called Agitiation. You may fall from the chair like I did when you read the copies. I can understand the thinking behind the ad : when you sell a plastic watch at HK$550, you would just need to think about some catchy selling points for it. The biggest selling point of this watch is the strap. There are holes in the strap (so called cheese cut-out) to make the watch as light as 45 grams so that you can run faster ! What's more, there are so many colours to choose from. It doesn't matter whether you have a fair or tanned skin complexion ... there's one for you ... I bet this watch is produced and marketed under licence granted by the brand owner of PUMA. Too bad that the licence is given to the wrong hands. It's Ok if this watch doesn't sell as it is the business of the licensee after all. However, a BS ad like this may have negative image impact on the PUMA brand in a way.

Giordano's frog

Image
One student asked me why Giordano re-uses its frog logo from ages ago. I said I know don't know. Really ! Giordano is a value-for-money brand. If it prints its logo onto the T-shirts and jeans, be it the frog or anything that says "Giordano", will sales increase ? Probably not. Giordano is a brand you wear but you don't want to admit. It's not a brand like Nike or LV that can uplift your image after all. So if it puts the frog back onto its product, there may be adverse effect on its sales. I haven't visited its store at the time of writing but according to its website, it hasn't added back the frog to its products. I wouldn't do that either. So what is the point of having the frog back in its print and advertising materials ? To remind us of its good old days ?

Benefiber ad

Image
Benefiber is quite a new product concept. Fiber powder that you can add to your favourite food, making fiber intake easy. I'm not sure whether such a new concept would be accepted by consumers. But one thing for sure. It's rather inappropriate to use 韜韜 as the endorser. He's a cute old man and I personally quite like him. He loves eating and the more I see him eating in front of the camera, the more I'm worried about his health condition. It looks like he's going to burst ! The question is whether he's a credible one to endorse a diet-realted health food at all. It may be more credible for him to endorse a slimming house when he manages to lose 100 lb.
