we cant sit here at .34 forever can we?
It is a bit ridiculous. I don't have the knowledge to offer up an explaination but it's just so odd. I've been asking around to all my freinds and coworkers the past couple of days to see if anyone has ever seen any ads for SiriusXM and everyone says they've never seen one. I look for these things and I can say that I don't see any either. Is their marketing dept. alive??? do they not have a budget??? Are they just brain dead??? I would love to switch to the Iphone and get SiriusXM on it, my company would pay for it, but I do want a quality product and not switch to say I have it but I don't see anything out there advertising this thing???Quote:

He says it makes him nervous and how it is always in the back of his mind to get the plugs out. How about buying a commercial or two and let the fat bastard concentrate on being funny?

I know my dad gets the NFL sunday ticket every year so he can follow EVERY game. He has sirius which lets him follow them on the go. I think there are a TON of like minded people out there who watch NFL and might not even be aware that sirius offers this.
here we go again, another game of follow the bid.
ads are all over the internet.
Why is it that it is such a big deal to plug when Howard or Artie are on TV - is there an unwritten law against it ?
Sorry fellas.but this stock is ridiculous.With Howard on TV,the i phone thing,the "Movie" being released and of course a bailout,I still cannot believe this stock is still stuck at .34. Alan Mulally.......THAT is a CEO. Done.
I have Directv and I've seen no ads for sirius and yes there are ads on the internet, I think they spend as little as possible on advertising, They are a bunch of ordertakers and not salespeople. Ad's on the internet are cheap and easy. Management is lazy!!!!!!!!!!!!
No, That's not it. From what I understand from listening, It is a lot of pressure just to be on the late night talk shows, and making plugs just isn't a natural part of most conversations. Artie complains that it is distracting to try and remember to interject something completely off topic.Quote:

Obviously something more genius than that but you get the point. I find it hard to believe that a company of that size falls short on marketing?? Maybe I don't see it here because they choose not to use ads in this market?
I think doing plugs should be in their contract. Why wouldn't you have your biggest draw do appearances pushing the product a few times a year.Quote:

Right. their marketing sucks. however, I think we will be surprised by a comprehensive marketing campaign soon, I'm guessing when iPhone app is released. There's no way they are not advertising now because of incompetence, or lack of $. This is about re-branding and coming up with new approaches, which take time and timing. I believe that we will see that very soon.
"nhl on (((xm)))" is on the boards at center ice in the stanley cup finals right now.
it sucks sitting at .34 but i think the move will be fast and violent when the move happens, i hate to wish my summer away but august cant come fast enough lol
well we did hear from Howard about how they needed a DJ so they use the receptionist from the front office to fill the chair and they gave her her own channel. wonder if she got a raise with that? hmmmmmmmmmmmm
Sweet! im in the chicago airport with 100% terrestrial sxm signal for my xmp3
Good afternoon everyone,Damn still stuck in .34 cent land,going to golf now see everyone tomorrow or not,if it is still like this...
time for me to put it in the drawer and forget about it until august and enjoy the summer at the shore..
At first i thought this was bad when he said it, but it does sound interesting, maybe some will sign up to hear the "real" not commercialized talent.Quote:
