Good or bad for their image / business?

As much as I liked seeing the one lucent dossier girl slip out of her top, what's with the whole cirque du soleil thing in the pumpkin patch?


Thoughts?

As I mentioned in the CEDIA thread above, it was an embarrasment, it was a joke, it was just lame. One more reason to avoid letting J.B. get so much as a single dime from me.

They had no problem attracting people when the kegs were tapped.

You realize that next year they will have a 6'X6' booth with 2 guys sitting there handing out literature right? Isn't that the way it goes? Something over the top and rediculous one year and then a fold out table with free keyrings the next?

As a new speakercraft dealer I received their dealer promotional poster for the CEDIA booth. as I unrolled this fullsize poster complete with scary looking bizarro's in some macabre circus two things crossed my mind...

1) Am I supposed to proudly display this ridiculous piece of art in my showroom or drop it the local tat parlor?

2) How much money was spent on a marketing firm to design the concept, hire the actors, makeup artists, staging, photographer, printing, shipping. An easy $30K.

In the garbage it went. Stupid. Jeremy, we get it. Your a maverick. But put your money into some R&D for slick KP's and control features. Look professional. No one's impressed with the renegade persona anymore. MAKE IT ABOUT YOUR PRODUCT, NOT YOUR PERSONALITY. Because in the end I don;t care about that.

I'm surprised they didn't set up a tatoo parlor as well!

sorry, that's all I can imagine when I think of speakercraft and Jeremy with his finger poses.

It was weird... I guess they did not have much in the way of anything substantial to show they had to get people to the booth somehow. We are Speakercraft dealers and I just shook my head and continued on.

First thing I thought was someone has done too much LSD...
