Fourseas dumpling

四海魚旦. To many consumers, the brand 四海 means 魚旦. Obviously you can't grow your business by selling fishball alone. Extension could be one solution. So it has extended to a few fish paste products and all kinds of meat balls. As you would would expect, some of them sell but some of them don't. The question has become what new products should come next to get more business. That's the most common question on the management table. When new product ideas that match with the brand run out, the temptation is to come up with something unrelated to the brand. This is a classic example : 四海魚旦一品餃! 好好食, 齊齊食!

then how should the company have more related strategies to implement the marketing planning and ask for the profit?

i have see that the foursea fishball have cross selling by giving sample of other same brand products when you buy foursea fishball, would it be good, or any further action can be done??

Putting promotion activity aside, is it a good extension compared with the Extra Candy ? What brand extensions would you consider right for Fourseas ? Note product is only one of the 4Ps. Can we get more business with different strategies on the other 3Ps ?

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

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
