Re: OnePlus One Invite Beggers
Obsolutely! But they are not the only company that's guilty of creating such marketing gimmick. They probably looked at how people would line up and camp out outside of Apple store just to be able to buy an iPhone. OPPO probably said "hey, if we can only do the same, but we don't have the retail stores". So instead, they hyped up the product a few months before it was released, and created a high demand for it by using an invitation only sale, which made the buyers felt like they're getting something extrat ordinary. When was last time a Chinese phone stirred up such frenzy selling in U.S? Wake up and smell the coffee people! You are buying something that's made in China! A country that's known for making cheap electronics and bad customer support. I mean think about it, there are already people taking about in order for them to make good on the phone's warranty, they need to return the phone back to China for repair. Are you crazy? When was last time you buy a phone that you need to send it back to the country of origin for the warranty repair? Notice only the Chinese companies do this. I mean HTC don't make you send the phone back to Taiwan for repair, or Samsung to Korea etc. It's same old turd that OPPO brilliantly spins around and turn it into gold. Regardless, it's an ingenious marketing scheme.
