得力素能量糖


得力素, Detrox, is such a long forgotten brand name. It was a glucose drink at the start and later diversified into lemon candy with glucose in the middle, said to be healthy (because of the Vitamin C) and give you the energy (because of the glucose). Now it re-appears as a candy that gives you brain energy after so many years. Does the positioning sound familiar ? It's like the candy version of Lucozade. Will that sell ? Maybe. If consumers buy on the brain energy positioning of Lucozade, there may be room for a brain energy candy which is more convenient. Yet it will takes a lot of resources and commitment to build/re-build such a 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.

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
