I'm starting to feel like they might not be okay. I really don't know why I'm so interested in this this...
I agree, and IMO they are not ok. They are spending too much time trying to convince themselves, and us, that their re-branding is working.

I've been following that thread with great amusement. Actually, it's hilarious. :D To me, it looks like their re-branding was done in-house by engineers versus actual marketing professionals.

It is very obvious to me that they did not use a professional marketing firm that specializes in re-branding.

35 Examples of Rebranding Fails And What We Can Learn [2021 Update]

A proper re-brand done on the low end costs about $100,000. On the high end, millions.

Many companies have re-branded before. Some very successfully while others were epic failures. There are case studies on those and they are very well documented. Remember that whole New Coke thing? :D

But whatever... OI aspire. :lol: :lol:

I received an order from KHW Mods with some spare parts for my Dvarw's. I got full metal jackets for a couple of my Dvarw's and some DL stainless steel drip tips.

It's just so incongruous. And then I keep picturing the brand rep having like a figurative gun to their head and having to keep on going with what is very obviously not receiving the reception that a brand would want. Now I think they could still turn it around and make it out like it was just a big joke. But frankly while I've been absolutely entrenched in that thread and what little is going on there, I still don't know what the "I" stands for. So It's missed even that aspect of branding. I will forever think of aspire wearing liberty spikes dressed in leather and metal with a tattered band shirt on them screaming out oi oi oi. Because when I think of oi I think of '80s punk bands

The whoke thing is hilarious. Chinglish on a grand scale.
My favourite post is the Aspire girl doing sexy, pouty poses - one shot with her hand deep down in her pocket, suggesting steamy possibilities.

OI, wassup T? :D

I agree with you. Marketing 101 states "Never use amateurs, or your in-house people, as models and never try to be your own photographer for marketing purposes". It's crystal clear they didn't do any market research or a test run on customers.

But hey... let's go... OI, scream it LOUD !!! :lol: :lol:

If anyone happens to find a website that has the Freemax Maxxus Max 510 adapter other than the actual free max site where shipping is $30 please let me know. I've checked around but I think it's a fairly recent offering like maybe they started on like the 11th anyhow I would appreciate it I know that there are people with fantastic Google skills in here

    A new stabwood mod came out today in my Custom mod group and people went crazy:lol::lol:
    It's multi coloured and multi layered Good Wood:w00t: here's a little sample pic!
    image.jpg

    image.jpg image.jpg Something a bit different but not really to my personal taste so I had to give them a miss.... but the two new ones that are due out soon, well that's a different story;) A DNA 100C 21700 Good Wood mod with an engraved SS front plate is coming and another that's wood but it's not Wood, you get meo_O A stabwood Bamboo mod:w00t:
    They're both still at the end of prototype stage now so engraving is yet to be decided and done.
    Here's a yummy taste of the new DNA 100C's:drool:

    Oh dear heavens I was doing my daily check of the aspire rebrand and how that's going and I think they're getting it together. And then when I'm leaving the forum I noticed the post below a marketing post about a new product or a revised product and I misread the name as the "vitler" And I was like who a that's a little bit too close to well everyone knows what that's close to....

    But anyhow now I can't help but thinking about the scary story as a child of the vindow viper which was only mentioned a couple days ago in one of these threads.

    Anyhow oi oi oi

    I just saw that Freemax is releasing the Maxus Max Pro which appears to be the same Maxus Max with a 510 connection. Isn't that a kick in the pants?

    yeh....seems like a really odd decision.
    Nothing wrong with the mod or the pod but they should have released it all together,releasing the none 510 version first then the 510 included version later on just seems odd.

    To me it seems like a money grab. It's like ok, here's a pod mod then here's the 510 adapter for the pod mod then here's the 510 version that we should have sold in the first place. Kind of like how Voopoo puts out 50 versions of the Drag series.
