The r4i hired a consultancy
company in order to accurately identify three crowd of people who most likely to
cause by word of mouth in each city. Using magazines as the main transmission
carrier, and "Who are you" as its theme, Nintendo has launched a massive
advertising campaign. At the time,Japan had to face to the oil crisis,it had
economic recession for 3 years;and the players of the States was bored of old
games,so the selling of consoles nearly reached the bottom. Just Nintendo can
provide gamers with various imaginative roles, so that they can experience the
colorful emotions and personality.
Choosing the mothers to be the first stand ot praise promotion caused
questioning in the game industry in America: Most of the mothers are against
games. Although the mothers who have passion for technology will keep pesuading
the children to "cherish their eyes, and be away from the games", so Nintendo
should not put the goal on such group of people. In the past few days, the
advertisement campaign has entered the second stage. New game products were
brought out as the same theme and form, consolidating the brand position of
ds tt
card "to create the innovator of pop culture".
This advertisement campaign includes advertisements of film, communication
and point of purchase, but the whole campaign's core transmission supporter is
juvenile magazines. With powerful entertainment resources, Sony reset the home
game market of simple mode, rough image, and tried to posit it as a visual
feast. These magazines can penetrate deeply into the inner world of the target
audience. If combine all the advantaged magazines, a better result will be
produced. In Los Angeles, Nintendo invited several housewives who love
communication and are skillful at technology, and let the full - time mothers
who have boring time experience the charm of Wii.Later, it has also become the
central figure of many American movies, television and comic books, so that
American children spend more time on new era hats
online console than that in watching TV.
The advertising campaign caused enormous repercussions. As the new game
products continued to be introduced, the enthusiasm of the target consumers also
grew. It is unexpected that after many American families owned Wii, due to
players' excessive devotion, the fact that many remote controller flied out of
the hands and hit on the TV. Paqinuofu named his "invention" as "Tetris", in
Greek it represents "four" - it is game shape of "Tetris" which swept the world
in the future.
This game appears to be very simple, and there is little technology
innovation, but it has a strong appeal to people and it becomes inadvertently
famous all over the country. Compared to Xbox360 of Microsoft and PS3 of SONY in
the same time, Wii did not make many asvertisements in the U.S. market, but the
consumers on the websites of media and technology were talking about it
passionately. Without hesitation, Hiroshi Yamauchi sent his best negotiators to
Moscow to buy the patent right from Pajinov's research institute.
Recently, the U.S. "Business Week" BusinessWeek commissioned from the
consultancy firm AT Kearney conducted ranked the world's best business in
2009.
