and there's more... but I just got home and I'm hungry!
Prime example is Sprint targeting Cingular, not Verizon, in all of their advertising. You have to make the best look bad, to make yourself look better.
What applies to the wireless industry applies most places. Just because it's a normal business tactic doesn't mean it's not valid.
Sore over Sprint's performance a bit? 🤨
I'm not sore over Sprints performance, i'm just wondering if their is a map to the fantasy land you Cingular customers live in.
Really, it is that simple. Sprint has been struggling since the second quarter post-merger and they're desperate to catch customers attention. What better way to do that than target number one?
It's that simple.
What fantasy land is it that you speak of?
I don't know why you keep focusing on Sprint as thought I was defending them. I was not defending them, you need to read a little more clearly. I was defending the marketing in principle and your anger that Sprint has attacked Cingular but not another provider. Your shock is puzzling to me, although perhaps I pay more attention to marketing in general where number 1 is always attacked. Just watch most car commercials where the competition is constantly brought up in negative light. Its the same principle.
The second and forth point out facts about the fourth quarter. How is that bashing?
And the third speaks of the difficulties posed by rebranding, with a bit about negative word of mouth.
You take Cingular too seriously, there is no "hating" involved in any of those articles. I would think that touting numbers is something you guys would appreciate. When Cingular had the most adds in a quarter, it was posted quite often on this forum.
