Susan Boyle’s Brand Promise

Filed under: General Comments — Tags: , — Tina @ 7:05 am

Susan Boyle has established herself as a simple woman with an angelic voice.  She is religious, volunteers and loves animals. You won’t see her doing much of a makeover. She has already it appears, thinned her eyebrows some and tidied up her hair. Too much though would ruin her image. Part of her charm is in her simplicity, humbleness and frugal appearance.  Susan Boyle has established her personal brand and her brand promise to millions.

Jagtag and Scanlife are we making people work too hard ?

These direct response technologies deliver digital content to your phone, but is sounds like a lot of steps to me. You have to take photos of bar codes and then have either downloaded an application or send a text and forward the bar code. Scanlife must use a web-enabled phone. Jagtag does not.

They are testing many potential applications. The most bizarre is to see a slide show of a loved one from a tag/barcode on a gravestone. Are you kidding!!!

I see some possibilities. How about going the other way? Let me register for coupons on my phone and then let me beam then at the store right to the cash register.
