People in various settings mesmerized by something either off camera or veiled or hidden in a box… Then the unvieling… GASP! It’s an “it”.
“Whatever it is you can find it on Ebay.” :rolleyes:
I know for a fact, judging by what they charge me each month in seller’s fees, that they can afford a more creative ad campaign.
There’s a new “It” commercial that talks about the creation, marketing, distribution, and cultural phenomenon around “It”. Given I hadn’t seen the other ad (in the OP), I didn’t know it was for Ebay until the end, when the closing tag is quite effective.
I keep expecting to see Gabbo on those “IT” commercials.
I can’t decide whether this or the bursting into show tunes eBay commercials are the. worst. ever. This may be it. :rolleyes:
I’m moderately surprised eBay thinks they need to advertise. What competition do they really have? Who is going to eat their lunch if they don’t grab spots on prime-time?
Of course, I didn’t think Microsoft would ever need to advertise its freaking OS business, either. Yet there it is. Somehow, Linux and IBM aren’t impressed. :rolleyes:
I think the point is that they have both new and used merchandise. Many people probably still view Ebay as just a source for collectibles and used stuff.
They are in competition with more traditional businesses such as department and specialty stores.
Most of the things I buy on eBay I used to buy from major retailers such as clothing, consumer electronics, CDs, DVDs…
I saw one ad that didn’t mention the company, but I knew what it was for, since it had a notice “©2005 eBay, Inc.”
Look, Smithers! Garbo is coming!
I don’t know; I like them.
I suppose I don’t have any real-world competition to eBay where I live, nor in any of the places I have ever lived.
