Netvigator Everywhere


This sounds like a self-defeating marketing idea. Netvigator Everywhere offers you a device that searches for the best wireless data service among 3G, HSPDA or WiFi. WiFi, as we know, is location specific. But were we promised that 3G is a high speed network service that allows us to make video calls and connect to an array of multimedia services anytime anywhere ? Apparently PCCW is admitting that its 3G is not covering the whole of HK or the speed is not consistent. A device, that will search for the best networking, as the key selling point is a marketing fallacy too. At the end consumers don't really care about what service they are connected to. They care about whether the speed is good and the price is right. The barrier to the wider use of wireless services is price, price, price ... hope someone will take a look at the price elasticity equation.

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
