Doll instant noodle TVC



One of my students in FMCG said Doll is bought by Nissin (the owner of 出前一丁). Is that true ? Did Nissin just buy Doll instant noodles or everything under the brand name of Doll ? Doll as a brand is the first instant noodle in Hong Kong but it's no longer the market leader and it was overtaken by 出前一丁 ages ago. Why it happened ? From the hindsight, I would blame it on brand extension. Doll is no longer an instant noodle but a brand of frozen Dim Sum in the minds of the consumers. It's no going to be easy to revitalize this brand in the instant noodle market. It takes real new news about the brand. "Made in HK" ??? 出前一丁 is also made in HK ! So what ?

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
