Huawei Black Friday Sale - Up to 90% off

[metamondo]

Excuse me MyBroadBand but you should be EXPOSING this nonsense in your Newsfeed (the way you used to do hardcore exposés...) instead of kowtowing to your advertorial overloads.

I have no marketing education, but I wonder about the aim of such a campaign. Is it to improve the company's image and improve sales in future, or is it to increase sales for this period? I doubt this flash sale will achieve either.

That said I won R800 in vouchers to be used on the Huawei online store!

Your last sentence is the aim! Drives like this do two things.

They increase their cache with online monitors (site has traffic they can boast about, YouTube algorithm sees that they are popular)

And also, the page is built to advertise. The mega bundle was the loss leader, but other people will see their other "specials", others will share the link to their store, and others still will return to spend their coupons. And considering you get R200 just for registration, I think they're quite happy with the last group.

It still say Quantity 10 but when I click buy then I must enter my email address so that they can notify me

I managed to get the combo deal into a cart but it then wouldn't accept my address at all so was unable to continue to payment. Wtf...

I did notice it after the 2nd sale but the stupid website did not want to load...

I actually managed to have all the pages for each item loaded fully and available for purchase at the time the livestream announced releasing the deals (seems like no one really wanted the p40 lite as that was available for well over 5 minutes), before the main page was reloaded by their web team to provide the deal link (their javascript call back was really overloaded probably from all the people having open pages on the main page), unfortunately I wasn't interested in any of the offerings except for the main one with the matebook. If I knew they were planning to do a staggered release beforehand, could of programmed a bot before the sale and done a dummy buy on that wristband 4 to see how the process worked, and then try alter an existing a bot to make the big purchase.

I already had my delivery address set up but it still wouldn't allow me to check out...and in 10sec stock was out.

#HuaweiBlackFriday - Total waste of time and was done in bad taste. I was a VERY loyal customer for many years and I will never buy another Huawei product ever again. After the year we have all just had this was salt to the wounds. It is a scam to get everyone to watch a video on their products... I think it was a great way to lose 25 000 customers in just one hour!!! Well Done Huawei!!! Great marketing campaign... NOT!!!

I was eying the GT2e all I saw was the band 4, P40 pro for some couple of minutes the other items I didn't even see them no matter how many times I reloaded the page. The R4999 combo deal by the time it was loaded it was out of stock.
