More Hello Kitty !


Sorry Hello Kitty again. Well, I think she deserves at least one more post of discussion. Look, all these promotion, including the McDonald's one, were running apparently at the same time during the summer. Why all these companies were doing all the me-too promotions ? Because they think it worked before and it must work again. It's the winning formula. No promotion idea ? Let's do Hello Kitty ! Like everything else, my prediction is that Hello Kitty will not last forever. Its life cycle will be shortened when everyone is exploiting it. Popularity and Novelty are in rivalry with each other.

Enough is enough! There are too many me-too promotion adopting Hello Kitty - Chow Sang Sang, Circle K, 7-Eleven, McDonald's. I think this kind of promotion tactics is hard to bring surprised and create noise in the market. Instead, it only makes me think it's better not doing anything like this again. Keep on doing this only ruin your brand image.

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
