The full page ads in the newspapers combined with the TV advertising would have cost Telstra a lot more than that for each customer dragged in. > DingoBlue's $120 credit (allowing 40% profit) is > costing them around $70 which is pretty damn good. True. Main problem is that it doesnt achieve anything like the exposure that other approaches like say TV advertising does. Specially in the startup phase when you dont have too many customers. They do some other stuff like the banner on SOLD etc and small ads in the papers. One full page ad in the SMH for their mobile system too. > Customers will also hang around to use them and the credit up. True.
