Positive images do have an effect providing they are reinforced by positive results. A great run in the league and no one will be moaning about these posters.
That has the wow factor, but can't say I like it much. The changing colours were effective though, but don't like the birdsnest shape.
No, no, no, no, no! We are football fans, we don't get affected by psychology or babble. We are not locked into the tribal support of one team; we don't need this. We don't need any positivity and we certainly don't need any corporate marketing and brand enhancement. This is Hampshire don't you know and this is a working mans sport. #sacracstic Rachael, all good points that I fully support. Some people just don't see outside if their blinkered little world and when they can't grasp something, they moan.
You're absolutely right, corporate messaging and advertising does work. Once viewed, heard, read or otherwise ingested, I go in totally the opposite direction to what the advertising intended should happen, or merely note that I'm being advertised to and do absolutely nothing.
Only on the weak minded. Season hasn't started yet, will be plenty more things to moan about before we can concentrate on actual football.
If you think you are totally immune to advertising, you are kidding yourself. At the very least your awareness is raised that a product exists. A beer advert can make you want a beer...even if you deliberately don't buy the advertised beer, you will buy another...probably by the same company. If you avoid all advertised products, you may save money (as they tend to be dearer), but the mental effort involved is hardly worth it. Can you imagine shopping only for things you have never heard of!!
No one is immune to advertising, which is why I don't watch them on TV and I block them online. Then again, I don't mind companies trying to sell me their product as long as they're not trying to bullshit me.
Never see the point of preaching to the converted. It's a football club, no one (unless they are proper mental) follows a football team because of their marketing or motivational quotes. Can understand filling up some of the blank spaces outside the stadium with images of the players, crest & kit etc, but the quotes are highly naff. I'm sure after the first time you see them, they will simply blur into the background.
I don't like the way car adverts say that the price starts from £X, then in tiny, tiny print at the bottom of the screen it says 'the car shown is the super-duper model that costs £XXX.' I think I was more likely to buy when I was young and wanted new-fangled things like freezers and video recorders Now, only holiday adverts make me sit up and take notice.
Now those guys really do try and take you for a ride. Don't try and tell me Scotland looks like that you bastards.
Whilst I would agree with a large amount of that, I will pick tiny holes here and there, if I may. 1] specifically, a beer advert may make me want to buy one, but it certainly won't be the advertised beer and I'd be extremely surprised if it was a beer made by the same company. If I can I always buy from a small local company, and that amounts to many things. 2] I avoid advertised products as much as I possibly can. I do save money, a lot in fact, and it requires very little effort indeed to do so. In fact, it is interesting to do so simply because I will always try to buy from the little company rather than the big company. I certainly don't roll over and accept unthinkingly what is being pushed at me, simply because it is too much effort to do otherwise. Research into product is the key, and these last few years have been a lot easier than it used to be simply because we're sitting in front of the best research tool ever invented. We can decide for ourselves what it good or bad, what is ethical or not, what is politically undesirable, or not. There's barely a product out there that we can't get a little bit of information on. All we need to know is where to look and what to ask, and like everything, that takes a little practice,
Would have been better if they put him in red, seeing as everyone in Asia gets a raging hard on for it and it's the only reason we've got red kits.
Ssh..! Do you realise what you have just said, Dan..? This means that, in 2009, Nicola might have said, Markus..? There's a football club in England that has just been relegated to their 3rd tier. Their infrastructure is sound, and best of all... they play in red and white. You know what that means..? Yes, said Markus, with each season we can change the strip and reduce the significance of the white in the colour design until it is all but gone and then we can really appeal to the Asian market. We'll make pots of money..! Perish the thought.
Can't see a problem with being associated with honour (as long as the word killing doesn't appear after it).
No, that was the only reason we bought Lee. We bought Yoshida because we were ****ting ourselves at the prospect of Aaron Martin playing in the premiership...
