For me, I do get the idea of saving the money and offering better deals, but I guess its all about global brand, whilst to all us it seems like crazy money, I doubt that many of these companies throw out the money without expecting it will grow or protect the brand.
Tesco and Asda done something similar in the fuel market 15 years ago, they opened up a few petrol stations. They bought on the "spot" market, basically just bought it as and when, sold it out and grew. They were able to grow because it wasn't there prmiary business and reduced the margins down to levels not heard of previously.
Now we all know they have a substantial share of the market for fuel, and thats fine with me, I am all for competition, the issues however I think can be a little similar. The danger in my opinion with Tesco / Asda etc is that they did not put the infrastructure in that created the networks, and in letting them share it, they build a great customer base & quite a lot of people are liking their deals. But what happens in the future ?
Who knows !
Afternoon everyone!
It's a sunny Saturday afternoon and as the first race of the season draws ever closer, I wanted to give you a quick heads up about the Formula 1 VIP competitions that we are running at the moment.
If you head on over to the Vodafone VIP site this month you can enter all of the following, rather ace F1 competitions.
Theres the 2011 Formula One Santander British Grand Prix competition - You and a mate can win tickets for the full three days at Silverstone from the 8-10 July.
You can win tickets to the McLaren Technology Centre, which has been a big hit in the past!
You can also win some excellent signed exclusive merchandise.
Hed over to the VIP site for more details and most of all, good luck!! :smileyvery-happy:
Thanks,
Espi
Yep I agree, things much closer than the speculation 3 or 4 weeks ago. I saw in the last Grand Prix, that Red Bull did not use their Kers system even although the weight of the system was on their car, and if my memory serves me right 2 or 3 years ago, McLaren had Kers working reasonablly well.
Its going to be close, would love to see a little bit of them in the mix to see how they all react, Vettel is amazingly quick right now, but often he seems to have little pressure.
What does everyone think of these moveable rear spoilers (their name escapes me), is it a step too far or not ?
