Tempo's TVCs


Speaking of creative promotions and advertising, have you seen these two TVCs of Tempo ? The new Tempo with jasmine wakes you up and refreshes your mind. The intended message is loud and clear. In the first one, the break-up scenario of a couple is funny. However, I find the second one a bit too playful with potential negativity. Seduced by your tennis coach, you are wakened by Tempo from the sinful thoughts. I guess this is inspired by the popular drama series, Desperate Housewives. It is definitely creative but what would the consumers think ? Will it offend female consumers ? If you use it, you can be seen as one of the desperate housewives !

I think the second ad is not really related to the product. And also is it a claim that the tissue can help you maintain your moral...? If you doing sth that not moral, please use it and I can help you to quit the game...? I think the male is being ignored in this ad, the normal women will not interested in it, and desperate women will not need it coz they may enjoy the relationship and not willing to quit

Can't agree more with your insights. It's an ad that is fun to watch but doesn't do any effective selling.

Giordano's frog

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
