Just to make sure no one is under the mistaken illusion that this blog is topical, I wanted to bring your attention to something that happened way back in March 2016.
OK … OK … I know for this blog, that’s pretty topical, but let’s put that aside for now.
As I’ve discovered over the years, the car industry may be one of the most competitive industries out there and nothing highlights this more than at Auto-shows.
Seriously, it often appears the focus of the manufacturers is simply to out-do the competition rather than try to engage the potential owner.
Anyway, at New York Auto Show last year [yes, last year] Audi set up a bunch of free Wi-Fi networks and gave them names that highlighted the A4’s features over the BMW 328i.
And because people are always scrambling for free wifi at conventions like this, a huge amount of people not only saw it, but got educated by it at the same time.
Simple, smart, evil.
Of course, this isn’t a new thing, just a smart thing.
A deviously smart thing.
