Maybe they were hoping for, "May the froth be with you"?

 

"May the farce be with you?

This is a very one sided thread

When I was a lad, we used to call it ganging up…

Let's be fair - KR have had five days to respond since the thread was started ...................

Looks like KR are competing with Modelmaster to keep us guessing as to when and what for the promised big announcement.

  Indeed.  But a commercial company makes an announcement of an announcement and then... they make no announcement!  (as has already been said). Cant be good for prospective customer confidence.

 

Said company uses "hype" marketing phrases such as, "I'm talking about deal of the century", "something that's going to shake things up!"  (Porcy sez, perhaps a working tippler set with operating vibrator?) "  There's also, "and here's the thing - it's not just about the deal itself. It's about what it represents".

 

We're taking model railways here, and a relatively new company trying to build up customer goodwill.  Not a youtube marketing campaign for waterproof razors that doesn't nick your gooleys or a wonder product that makes you look twenty years younger.

 

Maybe it's a special offer for bulk purchases of 12 mm 3 hole disk wheels that have a pink appearance?

I was being a tad sarcastic .  The one side referring to their Fell where one side is accurate 

 

Don't disagree there's been a few howlers

Yep, I realised that, and quite funny too, but I wonder how many others realised the KR Fell is a little unbalanced.

Indeed we are far too practical as a market. They might be proposing that we buy shares in their company or something when I read something like this.

Or they invented new track that lays and ballasts itself!

 

Hmmm.... actual working auto ballasters ?

Presume this is the GT3 offer as noted in the thread for the loco.

 

Though having read the first few lines of the email l received, woe is me etc, etc, l thought at first it was that a certain DJ for an ex company had joined KR as press release specialist.

Indeed the communication could have been more positive just by focusing on the offer. I don't think I saw how much of the sale would go to charity. But guess it is not important.
