7-Eleven HKREP drama writing competition

Let's continue our discussion from the last post. In theory, positioning gives consistency to the other 4Ps. What if your positioning is difficult to convey other than using advertising ? As we all know, 7-Eleven owns the positioning of convenience with the widest distribution. Does this Corporate Social Responsibility (CSR) initiative match with its positioning or serve to communicate the positioning ? Not really. That's why we find this sponsorship unrelated to 7-Eleven. Should it do that ? I say yes. At least, it is doing something to give back to the society and it's neutral. Theory is theory after all and there should be leeway in reality.

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
