Indo-Siam Posted July 29, 2004 Share Posted July 29, 2004 I'm helping these people get started. They created a Flash site that was too high-bandwidth for the hosting package they selected. So - the site is being streamlined, and the hosting package is being upgraded. They should be back in cyberspace shortly. Their market is mainly impromptu celebrations, kicking off at a bar or pub somewhere. 60 minute delivery - or so they are trying. With all the fixings (plates, forks, napkins, candles, matches, etc. - even a disposable flash camera or an electronic "singing" birthday card). Good luck to them! Cheers!

Tornado Posted July 29, 2004 Share Posted July 29, 2004 good luck with the new business venture. I would suggest they take that red line out of their flash graphic as it looks crap and subliminally (?) suggests it is a bad product. Anyway that was the first thing I noticed.... A graphics person is needed - something like sunbelts would be better. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Because I did not feel it. Subliminally or otherwise,... Marketing 101 Bluey, I think anyone with a marketing degree would say the same. Red is a food colour, but when it is used as a "strike out", it suggests to people subliminally that there is something wrong with the product. Something to think about whetther you agree with it or not. Name one successfull business anywhere in the world that has this type of "logo" ? Good Luck anyway as it is a good business idea Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ajarn Posted July 30, 2004 Share Posted July 30, 2004 Too expensive for the size, and no clue to say it's not simply one of the typical crappy Thai cakes with frosting made from grease instead of butter, and the dry cake made using fake eggs, fake butter, and the cheapest of all other ingredients.

Such an analysis ... all sight unseen ... truly a scientific feat There's a photo of the finished product, and yes, there is plenty enough to offer up my opinion. They show a 'medium' and you can approximate the size from the plates and utensils alongside to be about 8 inches (20cm) square....950 baht for just the cake, no lettering. And if it's not one of the cheap Thai style cakes, then they should, I think, emphasize the quality of their ingredients-- it might help to justify the price in the eyes of some Tough bananas if you don't like my opinion. I call 'em the way I see them, TV.com advertiser, or not. And it is constructive criticism, which is more than I can say for your little snipe.
