Sony Alpha





Digital single-lens reflex camera has become a trend. Prices are coming down and many people are trading up from their 傻瓜機 to DSLR . All DC brands are now competing for a share. Professional and sophisticated image of the brand is quite crucial in this segment. Among them, Canon, Nikon and Pentax have the credentials in SLR for a long time since the flim era of photography. On the other hand, Sony is a brand that stands for electronic products and it lacks the same history in photography products and it will take a lot of marketing investment for it to convince consumers. Also in terms of branding, Sony has to use sub-branding for its digital photography products. Sony Cybershot is a great name for DC but Sony Alpha as a name for Digital SLR is not a very associative.

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
