Maxview are one of our favourite
suppliers, always helpful, excellent sales rep, good products – but
they do have a blind spot with marketing.
Imagine you have a new range of
products and you want to brand them. It is the kind of question that
needs careful consideration. You need something memorable and unique.
Especially unique, you really don't want people searching for your
product on-line and only finding something unrelated and much better
established with the same name. That would be a bit of an error, and
probably mean that your product launch was a waste of money
The newest range of TV wall bracket
mounts and high quality AV connection leads from Maxview is called
OMP.
To be fair, there is a reason for the
name OMP, it is the initials of the the three companies who
commissioned the range (the middle initial being Maxview). The other
two, if it matters, are Omega Electronics of Canada and Pudney and
Lee of New Zealand. The key is of course it doesn't matter at all,
and it seems insane that Maxview should spend many years building up
their own name only to not use it. It would be a bit like Richard
Branson beginning a new enterprise and not calling it Virgin. Before you ask, they do just call it OMP, not even Maxview OMP or OMP
by Maxview.
OK, at least OMP is unique isn't it?
It is, apart from: OMP Racing the world
famous motor racing company, OneModelPlace.com: The worlds largest
professional modelling and photography community, OMP Chairs, OMP
(Ohio Model Products), OMP Strategic Marketing, OMP Pumps and
numerous other OMPs.
We stock all the OMP products because
they are really good, but they don't sell that well because they have
a silly name and get lost in a very competitive market. The OMP TV
wall bracket mounts all meet VESA
standards, are low profile and compact, are all quick and easy to
mount and have a nice good quality satin black finish. While the OMP
HDMI Leads are great quality 1.4V HDMI leads, which includes support
for both 3D TV and 2K and 4K. Both the leads and the brackets are all
well priced against their competition and in a normal situation would
sell very well. Yet it really doesn't matter how good something is,
if nobody knows about it.
