Brand Consciousness - status symbol

Re: Brand Consciousness - status symbol

I like this quote, I was thinking of how to convey this message but this quote makes a my point.

I used to be very brand concious I had very big dreams to make grand purchases when I get a job, but not so much anymore, thank God the dream died before I got a chance to go on my shopping spree. I have juicy couture wallets, makowsky bags, and coach penny purses (college budget friendly brands nothing too crazy) but I bought them to last me a long time and because I liked it I don't think I'm going to part with them for a while. I think I'm levelheaded when it comes to spending money, I don't like to splurge too much.

dreams don’t die…it may take sometimes to fulfill because ‘no dreams no gains’…but, having said that, materially, i believe one must dream for good and modest things rather than fall victim to the trend and dream about things that are exaggerated to a great deal. morally and career-wise, one must dream big! :slight_smile:

i buy things for it’s intended purpose in mind rather than who made it. i would be happy to buy a car that takes me from pint A to point be which is comfortable and reliable…if a Corolla can do the job then why buy a Mercedes Benz? if a regular jacket can protect me from cold then why buy a more expensive designer jacket, if a good quality sunglasses can protect my eyes from the sun then why buy a more expensive brand. :hmmm:

if i ever get crazy enough to show off [my status], i would rather show them my bank book! :cb: :smiley: :stuck_out_tongue:

Re: Brand Consciousness - status symbol

You are truly humble, one cannot match your spirit :p, I wasn’t necessarily saying my dream died, I was saying as a result of growing up, my values have somewhat changed, before I used to dream I would shop in the likes of Gucci and Prada very high ended thinking, now I think I’m staying with college budget friendly brands and using and abusing whatever I buy.

:omg: Reminds me Benazir’s speech in national assembly during the session when Miyan Nawaz Sharif was elected second time: ‘wo ghoRa lao jo ddodh peeta hai.. wo ghoRa lao jo shehad khata hai’

But its practice of such brands to check the background of customer before selling their product to the customer

Perrier

Re: Brand Consciousness - status symbol

Veena Malik said that she didn't drink (Alcohol), it was Perrier available all over India :)

Re: Brand Consciousness - status symbol

Jokes aside, I am not a brand guy. Perrier comes in glass bottle - bad for environment. Buy stuff based on utility. I tend to lose watch - so buy cheap one. Don't know brand names, to be honest. Perrier popped in mind the other day!

Re: Brand Consciousness - status symbol

Perrier comes in plastic bottles too, you can buy 6 bottles pack in costco or sams.

Re: Brand Consciousness - status symbol

kitne ka hota hai ye?

Re: Brand Consciousness - status symbol

Glass is more energy intensive to produce. Plastic worse if not recycled. Both are bad - they have to be transported.

(Just my POV. People shroud drink it. If they enjoy)
