D-Link movie promotion ad


D-Link, is it a well-known brand for wireless router ? Not really. They claim they are the best selling wireless router brand. Do you know/believe that ? Well, if it is No.1, we must know it. Anyway, let's talk about movie sponsorship. The usual mechanics : a joint ad that promotes both the movie and the product/brand plus some tickets to give away for consumer promotion. In the past it might be a good way of promotion. Now that there are way too many movie sponsorship arrangements like this. So let's not kid ourselves that this kind of sponsorship will uplift our brand image and awareness. Look, we are overloading a single page ad space too : the movie, the product and promotion messages. Will readers read them all ? Probably not. Who will enjoy the benefits more through this so called joint promotion/sponsorship ? The movie promoter/publisher !

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 ?

HKET fan page

Ask yourself as a FB user or a user of any social media : under what circumstances would you share a page, a video or any news ? Either you find it useful or funny for others to enjoy. So in this case, if you don't find the HKET page useful, you just won't share it. Would such lucky draw boost the number of people sharing the page ? Some people may be attracted but I suspect most of us won't really bother. Try paying people to become a fan of your page ? You will need to pay more. LOL
