PCCW Eye II

I have to admit I have certain prejudice about PCCW. Thanks to Mr. Richard Li, the reputation of the company has gone down the drain. The failed privatization and the lay-off have been generating too much negative publicity. Its business and marketing strategies also get it attacked by competitors in all directions. I still scratch my head why PCCW keeps investing on this Eye service. Now the second generation comes with a wireless touch screen for easy access to the contents owned by it like NOW TV and Moov Live. Everyone has a computer nowadays and netbook is getting popular. Why do we need mini touch screen monitor ? They can just open up subscription to these contents on the net...

Hi Louis,

i'm truly agree with your opinion about this eye product. That's useless for the customer being in the internet era. In fact, it is possibile that if this eye product launch early 10 years ago and it would be had its own market, but it is meaningless for Hong Kong people nowadays.

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
