Mobile Branding Through Retailers: Smart Move Or Marketing Overdose?

Published by Babar Bhatti on November 3, 2008 under Competitive Trends, Emerging Markets Telecom, Marketing, Media, Mobile Companies, Telecommunications

One wonders if mobile companies needed any more marketing. They are already all over the media and the commercial scene: tv, magazines, newspapers, billboards, banners. Now retail stores and shops have also “adopted” the mobile brands. I have seen Jazz, Ufone and Telenor. It is amusing to see fabric stores, toy stores and even doctor’s offices displaying the phone company brand signboards. But there is also this feeling that marketing by the phone comapnies is getting too much. What do you think?

The Complaint Exaggerated

Ptcl Complaint

We may call it the exaggerated form of complaint or seriously disturbed customer. The picture was taken in Lahore and appreared in Daily Times newspaper last week. Its quiet a show from the person who hung this banner. This shows the customer service and ignorance of PTCL towards their customers. The picture speaks for itself and is an explanation within.
