More celebrities in mooncake ads


Let's carry on our discussion about the use of celebrities in mooncake ads. Aaron Kwok is the endorser of St. Honore, including its mooncake. Yes, Aaron is 型,英,帥,靚,正 but what has he got to do with mooncake ? Does he make cake or eat a lot of mooncake ? The link is weak and it doesn't add to the credibility of the brand. As for the the Maxim's mooncake ad (below) featuring Kelly Chan, it's a typical celebrity + jingle kind of an ad but at least it is related to mooncake : family reunion, showing your love and care, the Chinese tradition and so on. All these are related to the mid-autumn festival and the purchase of mooncakes. In the ad we can identify Kelly as a caring daughter (I guess she is in real life).

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.

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
