| Actual poster at a CES Booth |
Sometimes you just have to wonder why nobody stood up at the marketing meeting and said "No." Or maybe "Have you lost your wits?" Apparently no one did for this company that makes gaming mice and gaming keyboards. Somehow they though that this slogan would appeal to those crazy Americans.
Really, guys (I presume guys; women usually don't seem to stoop to this marketing level of juvenilia), what the hell were you thinking? Looking at this (which is also the backdrop image for the booth, by the way) I have no idea what they're marketing or why I should care. Features? Benefits? Nope, not there. Odd image of a cat outline with an American flag design over it? Sure, that's there. Whatever that means. And did I miss something or did the Germans actually invade America in World War II? I thought they never got here... I must not know as much history as I thought. Of course, countries that did have legions of German "tourists" during World War II don't exactly have fond memories of the time period.
Save the lame jokes for when you're at the hofbrau knocking back some lager. When you're marketing, try to at least point to the product or service, and maybe even hint at a benefit or two.

Yes you did miss the part when Germans launched an invasion fleet on the East Coast in 1947 after defeating the USSR! Or that might be a game of Hearts of Iron, sorry about that...
ReplyDeleteGood to see a new post here!
As of this writing, we are less than a week away from Activision and Treyarch’s love child turning a month old. This is a celebratory moment and all should rejoice, especially given that Black Ops 2 recently broke the $1 billion mark in sales, right? Guys? Anyone? Okay, so maybe our latest Call of Duty fix is well, broken a bit. However, it is not without it’s strong points as well. android poker sites
