HTC One Advertising!

[ksavaiano]

So as we come close to the launch i wanted to hear the various places you have seen ads for the HTC One! So far i have only seen one on the sidebar on youtube and one came up in my facebook feed

 

[craZDude]

Well they were showing it off to the line before the Galaxy S4 launch.

 

[ksavaiano]

Well that counts but im talking like billboards, web ads , tv ads and things like that!


But i do agree that them crashing the samsung launch was pretty cool

I have seen nothing.

they dont have time for marketing, they are focusing their time on cheap shots towards samsung while they cant even release a phone properly

Sir you are being a party pooper.. I have been seeing all sorts of web based ads, youtube, a sponsored story came up on facebook and i just saw one on youtube. I call that having time for advertising

zero.

 

[L1V3RB1RD]

i was just jooking around, of course they have the time and man power, i just find it really funny that they call galaxy the next flop when they themselves cant even get the phone out

 

[ksavaiano]

I definitely agree with that i just wish that they would get the dang phone out!

None. HTC doesn't seem to have learned much.

I've seen a few small "clickable" ads on the internet.....they link to HTC website.

Yeah, the next big flop statement was pretty stupid. That's not even a shot at the phone itself, very odd thing to say.

People keep talking about the ads or videos shot outside of Sammy's horrible press event. Did they air these or advertise them? The only reason I knew about it us because I follow a bunch of different tech sites but haven't seen anything in mainstream media.

Nice evo btw

I've seen nothing... Just what are they thinking? Its like they refuse to believe that their wrong and that their product will do their job for them. And their products arent even coming out right now... They better get their heads out of the gutters soon, or theyll have no business.

Not having a firm release date is a total fail.

When will these companies learn?

Not sure where this will be used. It harkens back to last year's HTC EVO 4G intro video

Edit...
This is on the official youtube page:

Have not seen a single ad; including the video just above this post. That's not an ad in my opinion, because it's on their channel and describes one feature. Only people already looking for HTC One info will ever see that.

If I was HTC, I wouldn't let Joe Consumer go 10 minutes in public without seeing my poster, seeing me on the radio or hearing my voice on every TV and computer monitor they walk by. At home, I'd be playing my ad twice during The Walking Dead and talking to HBO about a 10 minute ad just prior to the Game of Thrones release. You couldn't drive in your car without seeing billboards and I'd make sure it's the first device that salespeople at retailers show to consumers stopping in to check out the latest hardware for their yearly upgrade. Might even start a mailing or email campaign in conjunction with carriers, sniffing for people with looming upgrades, so they get the info straight from me... and not from snobby tech sites that want to compare it to "the S4". If I'm HTC, wtf is an S4? No, this is THE ONE.

 

[Aquila]

Also, that video is garbage. It's "artsy" and alienating to just about everyone. We need to show the usefulness of a device; why you need it. Not, "here's some cool random stuff my phone does."

 

[trandz]

We are able to "pull" info but nothing is pushed we just know cus were phone fanatics

Maybe HTC are holding off with the advertising until the phones stock problems are sorted. How many potential customers could potentially walk into a store after seeing an ad and end up being talked into buying another phone? The customer may not want to wait and salesman won't want lose the customer? Would the average buyer care enough about the HTC One to wait?

I think the real advertising will begin when stocks are fully available...

This is a good point. It doesn't really make sense to advertise something that doesn't have a firm release date, or much stock. People would just be left waiting, but most people simply wouldn't, probably.
