XM Self Promoting..

[empulse]

<p>I never ever ever ever ever eva' see any XM advertising anywhere.&nbsp; And I have no idea why.&nbsp; XM should include a big phat sticker with every purchase of a radio..and some stickers every year with your subscription.&nbsp; It makes me nuts.&nbsp; How does anyone expect to get noticed if you aren't out there?</p><p>My radio in my truck seems to be something of awe when people realize what the thingy on my dashboard is.&nbsp;&nbsp; I have heard a heck of alot of RanF promos on all the XM channels tho.&nbsp; Promoting within the network is great, but its free too.&nbsp; Shell out some bucks XM and try a thing call an Ad Campaign..</p><p>or maybe i live in a retirement community in SWFL and they could care less to advertise here.&nbsp; But i read alot, i visit alot of heavily trafficed websites daily for news and such (ok such=prOn) and never see a single advert.&nbsp; I finnaly saw an O&amp;A advert on Fark.com ... so maybe they are gonna try it out..</p>

I see plenty of TV commercials.<br />

I see XM advertising everywhere.&nbsp; TV comercials, sporting events, huge stand ups of OnA in Best Buy, etc.<br />

Except for Best Buy, I don't see it that much. It would pay for people in Florida to know that they can hear Ron and Fez again. Everytime I mention them to people around here the response is usually &quot;whatever happened to them?&quot;

<p><font color="#990000" size="2">I see tons of advertising, TV ads, magazine ads, Standies in stores. Kiosks in malls, etc</font></p><p><font color="#990000" size="2">I do live in the DC area, where XM has their headquartes. So that might be why I see stuff around.</font></p>

<p>I see plenty of commercials, too.&nbsp;They don't bombard with advertising, because one of the problems they are having right now, is that they don't have much money left in their advertising budget. I saw that on the news just yesterday.</p><p>I guess they're saving the rest of the budget for next Christmas. That's when they show the most commercials.</p>

i see commericals all the time. during LOST there was atleast 4. Sirius had 1. During the World Series you see XM everywhere. same for the world baseball classis. i think the subway ads for the tourny had the XM logo on it, but i am not sure.

Plus every morning for three hours O&A mention it a million times, that is free advertising right there.

i see so i live a f'ing cave. actually with a little research the Average Age in the area I live in is 62.&nbsp; People here are just waiting to die, XM not high on priorities i guess.&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;I just seem to run into people who think i must be an astronaut because of the space radio in my car.&nbsp;&nbsp; And i did live in indiana and the Amish are impressed by devices powered by the devil.&nbsp; I should get out more.
