It's only been three days into my industrial attachment. As you know, I've been assigned to Corbell which is a computer electronics supplier.The thing is that they put me into the sales promoter department promoting MP3/MP4 players at COURTS Jurong Point. I have to work from 12pm to 9pm everyday. Of course I don't mind the long hours but I am having a hard time trying to make people buy MP3s . The staff there is very friendly. They will help me out once in a while but pretty soon, I going to have to do things by myself. Sales promoter is not my stuff. I'm not good at convincing people to buy stuff. I'm more of a website designer than a sales promoter. Sheesh, one year of studying IT and computer stuff and here I am doing sales promotion trying to sell MP3 which in my opinion is not related to my IT studies(unless you consider MP3 related to IT/ computer stuff).
The product I am trying to promote are the Zling and TEAC brands but I am facing some ONE tough competition from other brands like that iPoD and the Sony Walkman. It's seem that the people whom I meet mostly want to buy an Ipod. My boss err laison officer told me If i don't make a single sale, I would failed my IA. From the looks of it, I have to get serious with this business right. Those people who wish to buy an Ipod would have to reconsider. I will make them reconsider and of course, promote my product. This weekend is going to be very busy for me.
One more thing, this so called Ipod have dominate the MP3 market for too long. It's high time that someone get down here and destroy their success. You can never dominate the market for ever. what, do you think you can own this market eh ipod with ye itune for long.get real, someday the Ipod will fall. Down with Ipod. Up with the other poor unknown brands who wish to see the light of fame. Hahahahahah! Somebody out there please come up with an Ipod Killer!
An innovative MP4 player that have more capability and at the same time affordable to the masses. If I had the power, I will create my own MP3 or MP4.
sorry ipod fans, I don't really hate the Ipod(nor do i liked them). It's just that I just hate standing around all day long waiting for a random customer to show up only to find out they prefer some other brands which I am not suppose to promote. Mainly ipods. I wonder whether there is a society against iPods on the net? It's a possibility. After all there is an existence of a society against videogames so this might seem plausible. Then again, hating a machine has no effect.
Another note. Should Nintendo make an MP4DS? wait Sony already did that with their PSP. Try making a DSX . A handheld gaming console/radio/MP3/MP4/camera/GPS/voice recorder/PDA/phone/wireless internet browser. That would work. sort of
