Trump ICE (water with his picture on the bottle)
Trump Taj Mahal (Atlantic City Hotel/Casino)

I find it pretty lame! why does he have to put his name and picture on everything he sells? is fame that important to him?

discuss

Because he can

Jason · 03-25-2004, 07:30 PM

Hell, I would.

detoxed · 03-25-2004, 07:31 PM

i'd do it too,

detoxed ice

Gramps · 03-25-2004, 07:32 PM

If he gave me enough money, he could brand my ass. Won't let him sell it though

AdultNex · 03-25-2004, 07:32 PM

That Trump ICE stuff is pretty corny.

Branding is the key to successful marketing. If many items (from clothes, food, cars, etc) didn't have a certain branding, than nobody would buy it...Especially when a lot of those items have such large price tags.

MattO · 03-25-2004, 07:32 PM

I hear him say in an interview that he felt wierd calling his tower after himself, but as a suggestion to him he did it. Now it's a brand and ended up being the smart thing to do.

MrIzzz · 03-25-2004, 07:34 PM

i like to let everyone know my face

You need to take a few marketing courses if you think it's "lame"

I'm mostly talking about Trump Ice, I think the name sucks for some water as well as his face on the bottle...

I think there many other successful companies on earth that do not contain some stuck up pricks last name. Eg: Coke, Microsoft. I etc.

I think they also do a lot better than the up and down billionaire with really bad hair.

quality agree

I just cant belive why internet porn dont brand more. Like Nasty Dollars... They could make a name for everything they do like Vivid and Private Enternainment do... money left at the table.

Ego but more important Branding.

garett · 03-25-2004, 08:07 PM

Branding is very important.. but I just can't see myself drinking water out of a bottle with Donald Trump's face on the label *shudder*.

I also can't really see myself picking a known real-estate giant's water over a company like Evian etc. who are known producers of water and nothing else.

Vitasoy · 03-25-2004, 10:14 PM

Combination of Ego, Money and Branding

Mr. Marks · 03-25-2004, 11:30 PM

Maybe he just wants to make a markit society, and enjoys the fame. He gets some sort of satisfaction from that. Or it can be a marketing strategy.

reynold · 03-25-2004, 11:30 PM

He wants the whole world to know
that he owns everything his name can laid on.

Warden · 03-25-2004, 11:53 PM

Because he can!

WWC · 03-25-2004, 11:58 PM

he is very big about branding...he believes in it very much...

KC · 03-26-2004, 12:04 AM

I read somewhere that somewhere that the reason he puts his name on his plane....

"So everyone knows it's mine."

He's built a nice brand, why else would they go to him to do the show "The Apprentice"?

so you aren't surpised when you walk in and see the gawdy layout - without branding his name, you might actually expect to see something classy, instead of the tasteless cheese he serves up

pimplink · 03-26-2004, 01:30 AM

I think I'm gonna start putting my name on
things, too. Like...........???
