Title: The new ipswitch imail slogan
Post by: Varg on April 10, 2009, 02:35:49 PM
Our new mail server software slogan that will be on the new website is :

"Imail, second only to exchange"

As a lot of you are IT professionals, what do you think of that slogan? Be honest.

You can't be fucking serious.  Right? 

Our shit is good, but not as good as this.

I don't think I'd ever use the fact that I'm second to anyone else as a slogan. Just my point of view.

Also, we had a client named ITS.   Thier exchange server is called itsexchange.  That will make me giggle every time I see it no matter what.

I don't like the slogan, however reading between the lines what it really says is:

Our shit is good, but not as good as this yet it costs 10s of thousands of dollars less.

Value, or name brand.

That slogan is a free sales add for Exchange.

Consumer A checks out your site, see's the slogan, thinks to self "Hmm, why have second rate e-mail?" Consumer A navigates to Microsoft.

So I just checked the site and it definitely says "IMail Server: SECOND ONLY TO EXCHANGE".  That's fucking horrible.  Exchange rules.  I can't wait to get my new 07 servers running and clustered.  Tell your marketing people to kill themselves.
