Extra Candy

Let's carry on with the topic of extension of yesterday. What does the brand Extra stand for in the mind of the consumers ? It's a chewing gum. What's more ? It's a chewing gum that offers dental health benefit with Xylitol as the key active ingredient. Is candy a good extension ? Yes, given that this new candy offers the same benefit as the chewing gum. Putting it in another way, it provides more choices to enjoy the dental health benefit. Like myslef, I don't quite like chewing gum and now that I choose this candy to protect my teeth.

i think the product extension can provide the customers with more choices, and due to their interests to choose different products they want.

also, it can make other customers that are favors another brand with the same products to switch to ur brand, because they may favor the brand EXTRA of the chewing gums, but they would choose other brand for the sweet, but now EXTRA can provide both, then they may get the loyalty to focus on one brands with the same functions.

So, it is a good way to have products extension, and gain more market share.

Yes, I would tend to agree it's a good logical extension.

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
