Octopus accessory

I scratched my head when I saw this new product. I see the logic in combining watch and Octopus functions and some people may buy Octopus watches. But what about this Octopus crystal accessory ? It costs HK$328 each. Who would buy that and hang it outside her handbag ? Are there otter Octopus new product ideas that sell ? Readers, open for discussion please.

hi there,
Don't think we shouldlook at this from a "product" perspective.
It's just a fancy accessory. That's it.

I have a friend who really wanted one of those, but couldn't get it -- they were sold out!!!! So... definitely a market there, even though you don't agree with it :P

People do like to hang some accessories outside their bags, well depends on the design of the product. Here comes another company which keen on developing mini optopus card accessories, and they are selling over $300 for each. And I have received one from my friend as birthday gift~

So is it just a cute accessory to those who like it or a cute accessory with Octopus function added ? Will people fear that it will be stolen if they hang a stored value accessory outside of their hand bags ? I wonder.

There's actually a store in CWB selling these Octopus key chains at $800 each, or above.

And as long as I know... they are making profits~!! hah~

Giordano's frog

Image
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
