7-Eleven Hello Kitty promotion ... AGAIN ...



7-Eleven and McDonald's are so indulged in running Hello Kitty promotions. It seems that they run a Hello Kitty promotion at least twice a year. Maybe I'm not a Hello Kitty fan and I shouldn't be too critical. However, in marketing point of view, there is diminishing effect with repeated promotion mechanics or theme. Like this new Hello Kitty promotion of 7-Eleven, I don't see very keen responses from consumers at store level by my observation. I suppose it's also about the mechanics itself : you will need to spend HK$200 to redeem one and there are eight different ones in the collection. You will need to spend at least HK$1,600 at 7-Eleven to collect them all. You would need to be a very big Hello Kitty fan to be interested. There must have been some miscalculation in the promotion planning.

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

Image
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
