As of your concern, yes, i should have paid some concern on the other activities too. I guess that's what made me runner-up. thanks again that you cheered my 'billoo' idea. it feels good when people appreciates any idea.<BR/><BR/>Nawed ShahriarSMO Nawedhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00702751317601273327noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8277194968972250739.post-88617874566415475492007-12-21T12:37:00.000+00:002007-12-21T12:37:00.000+00:00atleast u can create a brand awareness or curiosit...atleast u can create a brand awareness or curiosity amongst ur target market by rumor. n its a strong media specially amongst youth. so if ur target is youth segment u may try it. i think gp n aktel used it around 2/3 years ago in some way> as we heard that gp is going to give less calling charge in bijoy dibosh because aktel would give totally free calling chance fr its customers randomly or fr all. we all tried aktel or gp though some may cursed gp or aktel after being charged.some also bought sims fr this chance.aktel fueled dis rumor thing by giving free calls in past willingly or unknowingly (frm system malfunction).<BR/><BR/>the "billoo" idea is so powerful dat it made d team runnerup in d competition though they had very few strong points except dis powerful idea.actually they would hav won d competition with dis fantastic idea if they could b a bit good in other sections if not as par standard. d idea made dis name "billo" imprint in our mind. we jst overlooked their big big mistakes by hearing dis fabulous idea> i was a member of dat facebook grp fr fun jst d previous night n also was a contestant in dat competition. kudos to billo's rumor.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8277194968972250739.post-8461759062121026022007-12-17T08:37:00.000+00:002007-12-17T08:37:00.000+00:00Honestly I am not sure how this rumour-led brandin...Honestly I am not sure how this rumour-led branding strategy will serve the purpose in the long run, when the 'moments of truth' is experienced by the consumers. Also this exploiting of the 'hujuigga' Bangali nation through 'innovative' branding techniques such as this does not give a very good impression too.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
