(Junk-Rehashed)The Kirby Coincidence

I have seen this since the first time I signed up to the WF. More so lately though, a lot of threads about things being rehashed, no good, non-working, junk products or WSO's.

I have a short yet simple story that happened the other day, and it brought me back to all of these post.

My girlfriend wanted to buy a Kirby Vacuum, instantly I was completely the idea. To me they are just a high-priced vacuum with a massive unprofessional sales team. Being in sales before I didn't even want to sit in on the sales pitch, so I left. ( I have seen it before ) Anyway ..

After the sales pitch she calls and says that she really wanted to buy it (what initially started out as she just wanted a free cleaning). Of course my answer was no. So she called them and told them to come pick it back up, when the lady got there we were told a sob story about the guy selling it and how he could lose his job due to this being his 3rd return in X amount of months, and that she could give us this spectacular deal at $750. The price started over 2k worked its way down to 1k and now $750.

Anyway long story short, the Kirby does everything they claimed, so that wasnt really a problem. The problem from my conclusion is the target market the shady sales pitch and just all around terrible marketing.

I dont need a vacuum that does all of that, and even if I did I could purchase separate tools to do the major things like vacuum and carpet cleaning for half the price.

When I first had a Kirby person come to me was years ago, and nothing has changed other than I can buy top quality products that do the same thing for a lower price than back then. They even still start out with pricing the Kirby the same 2k

When I got home and asked my girlfriend to show me all what it did she could only explain everything, but couldnt show me how. To me the target market is for people with disposable money, someone that wants to show off the brand or price for certain objects.

Point being I guess, all the rehashed or junk material may not be made for the people buying them. Maybe their target market is for the new marketer. All the junk may be the terrible sales pitch, and looking more into the product and doing research before believing the hype would help a lot in purchasing decisions .

This ended up entirely longer than I expected, and I think I even lost my self in typing as its late for me. I hope my point is able to be made lol

Discussions and comments welcome

    I read it all and now there's a question mark in my thought bubble. I think you were attempting to draw a parallel between Kirby and their slick presentation and WSOs and that many of them are rehashed MMO methods.

    I didn't quite understand the stuff about the target market though I think I sort of got the rest of it, maybe not. :confused:

      However your initial few sentences caught my attention with the rehashed stuff etc. You covered about 4 different things and all are a little different. But I will just tackle one way of looking at rehashed material. After a while its hard for to reinvent the process of:

      Traffic --> Squeeze Page --> Offer

      That's a workable system in it's simplest form that you see discussed everywhere. So if people are saying that information like that is rehashed they are missing everything. They are missing some basic marketing fundamentals in sight of a new shiny system.

      But if you are talking about people rehashing a complex system (yet autopilot) to scam the search engines then yes that would be reshashing garbage in my opinion.
      Yes I was basically saying that just because it's rehashed to some doesnt mean that it is for others. And even though some people have already bought something similar doesnt mean that they dont need a refreshment course.

      Sorry after re-reading this I definitely jumped all over the place, wasnt feeling that well the night I posted this took some NyQuil and was past my bedtime to say the least.

      Ever have something in your head that makes perfect sense then go to put it down on paper (or computer) and it just comes out all wrong lol . Happens to me a lot lately it seems :O

    The thing is that without a doubt there will always be overlaps in Internet Marketing products. If you're someone who complains about it then the only answer is to stop buying and start implementing!

    If you consistently buy products that are re-hashes of other products then you're buying junk products and you should do your due diligence before. But, if you buy 1 or 2 and there are overlaps well that is normal and probably means that information is important to accomplishing whatever your desired result may be.
