Re: Pentax slogan

2010-12-10 Thread Joseph McAllister
I've had the same conversation with Photo Managers at Costco, and of course the 
high end Pro shops.

Rather than moving units, Pentax has always been more interested in maintaining 
their price point in hopes that Canikon will lower their high Pro prices (for 
better spec'd units) to undercut Pentax, leaving Pentax as the high priced 
spread that the monied folk will lust after. It's not sales they want, they 
want the lust…

My favorite so far:)

(Of course, Pentax would love to have their cameras available at
Mal-Wart, but that's another story...)
I had a conversation with a Wal-Mart manager, not too long ago.  I asked 
why Wal-Mart didn't carry Pentax?  His response was that Pentax wouldn't 
deal, they just wouldn't put up with Wal-Mart's requirements.

We just love Pentax cameras so much, we want to keep them to our selves.

Oh, so that's where the DA lenses are going. Poor Nguyen.

I'm on the road again, a quick trip to Lewiston, Maine. Arrived yesterday late 
afternoon. The skies were just clearing at Portland airport. So I headed 40 miles 
south with the *ist D to Nubble Lighthouse, but of course the skies there were 
overcast and refused to clear.

Today, naturally is sunny and beautiful -- the day I have to be in a conference. 
Tomorrow is supposed to be rainy again.

One gets spoiled living in sunny New Mexico.

On 6/7/04, Jens Bladt, discombobulated, offered:

Canon advertises on TV:
Canon 300D: Digital photography - not just for professionals.

Brilliant slogan isn't it?
Pentax might consider something like:
Pentax *ist D: The beauty of advanced, digital photography - small, light
and elegant.

During the recent Wimbledon Tennis Championship, Venus and Serena
Williams' father was often seen in close-up on TV using what looked like
a 300D. I'll bet that was given to him.

Pentax...When you want a camera that costs a bit more.

Pentax...Our lenses are quirky.

Pentax...you can use ALL* of your old lenses.

Probably a sneaky way of inserting more advertising into the telecast.
Wasn't Canon buying advertising a while back with a famous tennis player
talking about how good the Canon autofocus was? I wouldn't be surprised if
the whole thing was pre-arranged. Canon probably supplied the camera and
plenty of $$$ to the tv network to aim the cameras at Mr. Williams.

I think the slogan Pentax uses internally is:

Pentax: so good we don't need to advertise
