Lets Get Noticed More

[knights1066]

I feel that e Bid must go for another TV ad campaign here in the UK as it has been a couple of years now since I have seen one. Infact it was a TV ad campaign that brought eBid to my attention in the first place.

I have been a member now for just over two years and I really like this site. It has a much improved user interface than it used to have and is really easy to set up and use. e Bid fees are low in comparison to e Bay and overall it is a pleasure to be part of. However, to my mind it has one major drawback --Things don't sell as well as on eBay!!

Now before you all want to take me out and shoot me for saying that. I wish I didn't have to. I have been a member of e bay for nearly five years now and have seen many painful changes on that site. High selling fees, political correctness to the extreme, selling policy manuals so thick you could wedge a cathedral door open with them; as well as the fact that the whole organisation is run by faceless wonders who won't tell you anything - except what you already know. But things on e Bay still sell despite all this!!

May I suggest a survey by e Bid to sample public awareness of their site, as I fear they might find the outcome in relation to e Bay will be similar to asking the public who their local MP is in comparison to who Susan Boyle is!

Please e Bid more aggressive advertising within the UK, there are a lot of e Bay members who will switch allegiance once they know their products will sell. At the moment, they like me, feel stuck with the e Bay machine.

knights1066 i agree with you about putting ebid about in the media BUT tv adds don't work for a start to get them on prime time tv it is gonna cost and where will ebid get the cash for that????
Also name one add you remember that the next day you have gone out and got one of what they were advertising.
people only remember the adds that get on your t*ts and only because they do.
that is why the dark side does not do tv adds at the min it is a waste of cash.

All TV adverts are annoying nowadays. Maybe made worse by the current economic climate where fewer companies have money for advertising by that means so you get the same ones more often.

Adverts are what the MUTE button was designed for. Adverts are far less annoying without the sound. Though nowadays I usually flip my STB and play Tetris while the ads are on.

saying that there is one on at the min that made me lol once i got it that was.
it's the one for the lady shave from wilkinson sword.
one night i sat on the setee with mrs hush when said advert came on and i turn to her and said why are there all those bush's in this advert i don't get it. she just looked at me with that look of are you being serious??? sat there for a min then the penny droped.lol

If ever I wanted to watch a programme on commercial TV I always used to record it - so that I could fast forward through the ads.

Most people do something else during the ads, even if it's a quick channel switch.
