sturmey - no you did not - apparently you bought it because of the branding. None of us apparently have any free will

M6TTF - afraid not old son. I buy for what things are not for what they are branded / marketed as. the object is not the referent

How do you come to know of them? If you want to buy a fizzy drink, do you read FizzyDrinkWorld or do you read the label of every fizzy drink or pick up one which is familiar?

I buy the fizzy drink that has the flavour i want at that time - it varies greatly which one I buy

I buy it for what it is. Do I want caffeinated or not? Orange or mango flavour. whats the price?

This is clearly a very difficult concept for some of you to understand. some of us do this. we buy for what things [i]are [/i]

TJ- come on, you're verging on the hysterical now, bro!

I buy the fizzy drink that has the flavour i want at that time - it varies greatly which one I buy

But how do you know which one has the flavour you want?

You buy things for what they are, but how do you know what they are until you try them (or read a review)?

I can confidently say at some level branding has influenced your decision, unless you are data from star trek. You just don't realise it.

taste buds ?

how do you know what they are until you try them

And this is the B&W world according to Tandem, gotta love it.

taste buds ?

Teej, my last post was to alleviate the boredom.

I assume taste buds, is the response to me. But on that basis you would never try any thing new. My point is how do you decide whether or not to try a new product, or which of a range of new items to try?

TJ you admit yourself that you came here becomes someone recommended it to you. You got marketted. Someone credible made recommendation.

This thread is making me thirsty.

you dont

Exactly! so what makes you want to try them?

advice from a mate is not marketing it is a genuine unpaid for opinion. you may as well call a review marketing rather than an opinion.
I dont drink fizzy drinks so nothing actually but hypothetically
Flavour - is it a fruit /flavour I like?

Price will I pay it?
pretty much it I assume.

It clearly is a bit hard for you to understand M6TTF.

On the soft drinks. Mostly they say on them what they are but anyway over the years I have tried most available, I know which ones I like and which ones I don't.

so - I go into the shop and think - thirsty I'll have a drink and I buy the one that I feel like drinking based on what it is.

Really - you are so wrapped up in the idea that branding works with everyone all teh time and is all pervasive that you seem unable to understand that there is another way of thinking and working that involves actively discounting the branding and looking beyond that at what it is.

COOL! My own bill of rights 😀 Cheers Junkyard! That's now my desktop

there are plenty of folk giving the opposite view but you dont seem to be accusing them of this b & w view

advice from a mate is not marketing it is a genuine unpaid for opinion.

No, but it demonstrates that when TJ hears a recommendation from someone credible, he acts upon it. That's how some folks do their marketing.

Other folks might even call what happened to TJ 'Word of Mouth' that's another marketing strategy.

toys - sound. I wondered if the re was a point I missed

that is so weak - that is not marketing

You sound like Mr "everything comes from India"

On the soft drinks. Mostly they say on them what they are but anyway over the years I have tried most available

And others you haven't, was this discrimination based on their contents? Did you read the ingredients of them all?

so - I go into the shop and think - thirsty I'll have a drink and I buy the one that I feel like drinking based on what it is.

Like a cool refreshing drink? or perhaps a totally tropical taste?

No

simple - I try new things when I see them if I am in the mood.

TJ you admit yourself that you came here becomes someone recommended it to you. You got marketted. Someone credible made recommendation.

that is so weak - that is not marketing

and that is not an argument. But it does demonstrate why you think you are immune to it.

We had this brand discussion a while back, at least tj is consistent in his opinion tho I still think we are all affected by branding and marketing. It must be quite time consuming and a bit of a pain to try and discount all brand/marketing and see beyond it in every aspect of your life.

it is not marketing it is something that actually happens that marketing may try and exploit.

so, these Viral campaigns? marketing or not?

Time for a sharp exit?
Time for a cool sharp Harp.

(remember the one where the dog chased the ball out the the window? 😆 )

Sorry - a friend recommending me something is not marketing by any definition that makes any sense to any logical being.

Really - you are grasping at straws now. Thats just laughable. Personal recomendation is marketing Pfftpt.

just accept that for some of us what something is is far more important that what is is branded as and the we understand the difference

Sorry - a friend recommending me something is not marketing by any definition that makes any sense to any logical being.

you haven't thought about that

just adept that for some of us what something is is far more important that what is is branded as and the we understand the difference

Can do, as long as you accept that branding contributes to many [lesser, if you like] people's decisions.

And that you can't speak for your subconscious

so, these Viral campaigns? marketing or not?

just adept that for some of us what something is is far more important that what is is branded as and the we understand the difference

just accept that you are the victim of marketing, the same as the rest of us, just less aware of it.

How can a friends recommendation be marketing? -its a ridiculous proposition to suggest it is
