Advertise!

Apple...PLEASE!
Advertise OSX on TV.

I'm seeing these Windows XP commercials with people flying around and it makes me so sad that I don't see Apple commercials. Microsoft even spotlights their video editing software...which is so far inferior to iMovie it's not even funny.

Please advertise more on TV. The iPod commercial rocks...but I want to see it on MTV and NBC, not on www.apple.com [well, it's cool to watch it there too, but lets face it, most of the people who watch apple commercials on the apple site already have Macs].

Yes! Apple does need to advertise on TV more. I think it'd be funny to parody these XP commercials somehow... like have some people flying with their XP laptops.. then they blue screen and fall to the ground.. Apple's innovative team could think up of something to come after that.

C'mon Apple! Show the world what we're made of!

There is another thread elsewhere in macosx.com where it has been mentioned that there is someone using a Powerbook (G3 I think) in that WinXP commercial

If apple starts advertising now then it will seem like apple is copying micro$oft. And I don't think apple should do another smear campaign like they did a couple of years ago. Remember?

I think apple advertizes subliminally.
Have you ever watched a TV show or a movie latelly ?
Ever notice the computers they use ?
The majority are macs. There is *no* better advertizing than that.
When people see computers in stores and they go by a the mac section they take a look and they remember that those are the computers used in shows like
* Dark Angel
* Buffy
* Angel
* Mission Impossible
* 24
* The Net

and so on

Maybe they heard me
I saw two iPod commercials while watching TV last night.
Go Apple!

OSX COMMERCIALS!

Yes,

Apple should advertise more, and not only on TV but in stores like Best Buy, Office Max/Depot etc. One thing I hear alot is that people don't buy the Mac because they do not see it everywhere, whereas Microsoft has their computers in every office store, almost all the software is PC only. The people I talk to are afraid that if they buy a Mac they will be stuck with something that no one has parts or accesories for.

The Apple Store is a great idea but Apple also needs to advertise in other stores where the Apple Store is not near to. I know there is not an Apple Store near me and probably never will be but if Apple would start putting some PowerBooks or Quicksilvers on display running OS X people would bite. Just my opinion.

Have a great holiday season!

I work at the electronics department in a store that rhymes with Garget to get through college. Whenever a person comes in looking for computer (we don't sell computers) I send them to Comp USA because they are the only place that sells Macintosh in my area. Also if they are looking for something like Palm Pilots which we also don't sell I send them to Comp USA just because they sell Macs so they deserve the extra publicity. As soon as we get an Apple store in this area I can send them there
