Quixtar Needs A Slogan
By QBlog in Quixtar
If I understand correctly, Quixtar is without an official slogan. Companies often use slogans to market their product or service and to promote a specific brand idea. The current Coca-Cola slogan is "make it real," McDonald's uses "i'm lovin' it" and the famous General Electric slogan - "We bring good things to life" - has been replaced with "imagination at work."
However, Quixtar doesn't have a slogan and I think it would be rather sporting if we tried to come up with a suitable slogan for them to use. The slogan should be short and memorable.
I'll select the best suggestions and send them to the Quixtar Marketing Command Center for evaluation.
Comments
Was it Imran who suggested "Quixtar, we're still legal!"? That's the best!
Actually, shouldn't it be "Quixtar, we were once found to only be illegal as to SOME of our business practices"
How 'bout: "Quixtar, helping seperate the men from the boys".
Or...
Quixtar, helping some people create another stream of income by shopping online, and others by them blasting it on their blogsite and selling advertising!
Well that last one was a little long, but interesting none the less.
CK>Was it Imran who suggested "Quixtar, we're still legal!"? That's the best!
Imran> No it was chrisA. And yes, it is still the best :D It covers the vast majority of IBO arguments.
How about:
"Quixtar . . . converting the world into zombies . . . one observer at a time."
how 'bout: Quixtar, we're not your father's Amway
Quixtar: New name, same scam.
Great, it aint
Quixtar: Grand Daddy of Cults.
"Be as broke as your dreams desire"
Quixtar: giving half-witted losers something to b!tch about.
Quixtar: helping internet bloggeeks occupy their time.
Quixtar: if you put half the effort into building it as you do blasting it - you'd be wealthy!!
QBLOG slogans!!
Qblog: never underestimate the power of stupid people in large numbers!!
Qblog: hoping and praying my wife never makes it!
There you go!!! one more kool-aid drinking moron is here. Ambot aka imbecile alert on board!!!
Honestly slogan submittal:
"never underestimate the power of stupid people in large numbers!!"
Actually I like that better than what I submitted as a Q slogan.
However, I think it's only fair that, because of the brain controlling techniques employed by the QMOs, the word "brainwashed" be substituted for "stupid".
Never talks about things you does'nt know at all... Talk with someone who was in and isn't now and they will be able to tell why it did not work for him or her... easy... if you don't work in your business, no business will work!
Now, now...
We invited the kind of response we got from Honestly when we started psoting slogans that are less than complimentary of Quixtar.
Surely we can take what we dish out, right?
I, too, liked the one "Never underestimate the power of stupid people in large numbers!!" Which group is larger: QBlog's or Quixtar's?
I would submit that there are more stupid people in Quixtar than there are reading and posting in this site. And I'd bet the majority of them are in Quixtar's PR department. Hell, they can't even come up with a slogan for themselves, nevermind the Yahoo debacle...
PW
" If you want to change something into your life, change something in your life!"
Anyway, why Quixtar would need a slogan?... Their representatives (publicists) are doing "mouth to ear" and it's fine that way.
Here's a couple of mine:
"We put the F-U in FUN"
"We're definitely NOT Amway!"
Quixtar: Just Doo It.
**"Never talks about things you does'nt know at all... Talk with someone who was in and isn't now and they will be able to tell why it did not work for him or her... easy... if you don't work in your business, no business will work!"**
"Quixtar - you don't even have to be literate to fail"
How about?
"I'm losing money but the facts doen't matter to me"
If Quixtar gets copyright permission, maybe they could use John Lennon’s “Watching The Wheels� as the company jingle:
“People say I’m crazy doing what I’m doing
Well they give me all kinds of warnings to save me from ruin
When I say that I’m o.k. well they look at me kind of strange…..
�People say I’m lazy dreaming my life away
Well they give me all kinds of advice designed to enlighten me…..
�Well they shake their heads and they look at me as if I’ve lost my mind….
�I’m just sitting here watching the wheels go round and round
I really love to watch them roll�
Quixtar: The facts STILL don't count.
"Robbing people of integrity since 1999"
"The worst way to lose $11 grand"
"2-5 years? Yeah right!"
"Quixtar... a rumor in its own time"
"Quixtar...it's my business as long as my upline says it's OK"
"Quixtar... for those who need permanent counseling"
"Quixtar...300,000 CAN be wrong!"
Quixtar "may the salesforce be with you"!
Quixtar "the quicker sucker upper"!
Quixtar "if you stay excited more than 36 hours call your doctor"!
"I've been a Quixtar IBO for XX years!"
Put that on a bumper sticker, ball cap, window decal, and drive around town!
Quixtar should make it an annual award. On second thought, years of service has no rewards...
Qblog,
As good as quixtar is, why would they need a gimiky slogan?
A gimmick company needs a gimmick slogan, its only fitting.
"Wasting your time and money with us"
"Who likes tapes ???"
"Energy drink, vitamins and soap, oh my!"
Yo Mikey, I love you man, I love you. I got my slogan, so far, I was relying on ChrisA one. "Quixtar, we are still legal. "
Michael> As good as quixtar is, why would they need a gimiky slogan?
Imran> Quixtar: We are too good to be true.
Another one:
Quixtar: We endorse our products, but we actually laud AMOs
Quixtar: We'll beat the PV out of you
Quixtar: It may be not for you
Quixtar: Our competitor is satan.
Quixtar: Bomb the google in 21 days
Quixtar: Soap, Hope and Dope
Quixtar: Empowering sock monkeys.
Quixtar: We are online, but you have to pick up the products.
Quixtar: Talk is cheap, tape is not.
Quixtar: WE do business on bathroom walls.
Ok can't help it.
Quixtar: We love you in the bu*tt
Sorry.
Quixtar....Nothing to it
Oh, Lord, you guys are killing me.
Quixtar: When the money's big enough, the ethics don't count.
Quixtar....don't ask, because we won't tell
Quixtar....because there's a sucker born every minute
Quixtar....some people fall for it, why not you?
Quixtar....never has so little cost so much
Okay, my 2 cents:
Quixtar: lining our pockets at the expense of your dreams...
Quixtar: Helping Huxters Hype Hope
Quixtar: What used to be in your wallet?
Quixtar: How could anyone who sells soap get so dirty?
Okay, if any more come to me, I'll post 'em.
TnF
Quixtar: It looks great on paper
Fleak, you win. I'm sending your submission to the Quixtar Marketing Command Center.
Thanks!
"Quixtar: Alienate your loved ones"
Yesterday, I suggested John Lennon's "Watching the Wheels" as the company jingle. Upon further reflection, I think a better choice would be George Harrison's re-make of "GOT MY MIND SET ON YOU". It addresses prospecting:
"I got my mind set on you
I got my mind set on you
I got my mind set on you
I got my mind set on you"
It addresses the reality of the business:
"But it’s gonna take money
A whole lotta spending money
It’s gonne take plenty of money
To do it right child
"It’s gonna take time
A whole lot of precious time
It’s gonna take patience and time, ummm
To do it, to do it, to do it, to do it, to do it,
To do it right child"
And it touches upon the hope-srpings-eternal nature of the IBO:
"And this time I know it’s for real
The feelings that I feel
I know if I put my mind to it
I know that I really can do it"
Quixtar: If you dropped out of Cub Scouts, this might not be for you.
Quixtar: only the ambitious type need apply.
Total cost of college education: $116,000
Average salary: $38,000
Average work week: 46 hours
Years spent working: 49 years
Being able to retire at 30 and play with your wife & kids because you had the guts to do something different: PRICELESS
For some people there's a job; for everyone else there's Quixtar.
Favorite quote from ConAir:
"What if I told you insane was working fifty hours a week in some office for fifty years at the end of which they tell you to piss off; ending up in some retirement village hoping to die before suffering the indignity of trying to make it to the toilet on time? Wouldn't you consider that to be insane?"
Quixtar Condoms: You won't be quick, but you will be a star!!
Quixtar: Its so easy to scam someone, even morons like Tony can do it.
Total cost of being an IBO: 3,000 a year
Average income of an IBO: $1,400 a year
Hours spent working as a Quixtar IBO: 10 - 15 hours a week? Hah, not if you are dedicated and plugged in.
Years spent as an IBO: As little as possible, if you are lucky.
Belief that you as a plugged in IBO can succeed whereas thousands before you have done exactly as you have done and failed: PRICELESS
For the fool, there is Quixtar, for everyone else, save your money and shop at Wal-Mart.
Parsad: you were in Shivaram Kumar's downline right? What's his full name? He just go by Kumar.
Also, any specific sayings of the Gala leaders about internet and criticsm?
According to a U.S. Census Department study entitled "The Big Payoff: Educational Attainment and Synthetic Estimates of Work-Life Earnings" (http://www.census.gov/prod/2002pubs/p23%2D210.pdf), over an adult's working life the following are average lifetime earnings based on educational level attained:
High school graduates - $1.2 million
Bachelor's degree - $2.1 million
Master's degree - $2.5 million
Doctoral degrees - $3.4 million
Professional degrees do best at $4.4 million.
In 1999, average annual earnings ranged from $18,900 for high school dropouts to $25,900 for high school graduates, $45,400 for college graduates and $99,300 for the holders of professional degrees (medical doctors, dentists, veterinarians and lawyers).
Given empirical, verified and objective data demonstrating that a college education more than pays for itself, it is foolish for someone to suggest that they can't reasonably expect a return on their investment in a college education. It would take a real moron to suggest that they could exceed that return by wasting their time building an Amway business. Especially given the data showing miserable average results.
As far as the cost of that education and the implication that a person will incur massive debt, that too is a complete fabrication.
For those of you interested in the actual data on student loans and the effect of a college education on earnings, look here:
http://www.studentloanfacts.org/NR/rdonlyres/97FD743A-8F38-4641-916A-C4D907A84EE5/0/factbook.pdf
and here:
http://www.collegeboard.com/prod_downloads/press/cost03/cb_trends_aid_2003.pdf
and here:
http://nces.ed.gov/programs/coe/2003/pdf/42_2003.pdf
The average amount borrowed per year for a four-year institution is $4,800. Over four years that would be somewhere south of $20,000. The average income for a high school graduate is $29K, while the average income for a four year college graduate is $46K. On average, the holder of a bachelor's degree makes almost as much more each year as she spent on her student loans for all four years of college.
Do the math rather than settling for this stinkin' thinkin'. And in case it isn't obvious, Tony is making false statements to try to scare people away from college and into a pyramid scheme.
Pathetic.
Imran,
I was in Raj Shah's downline. Kumar's full name is Kumar Shivaramakrishnan.
And regarding the internet criticism, you know desis. Bunch of idiots. Easy to manipulate. The rumor about these guys(Qblog, Scott, Sidney etc) getting paid by P&G is all over the desi group. Its almost impossible to convince desis to see the actual picture.
But like I mentioned on the other posts, doing my best to get my friends out of the scam.
LOL yeah that's true. There is some thing weird about our Desi group. They are more volatile i.e. grow and shrink like CRAZY. Seen any thing like that?
Almost every desi here has heard or tried this business. New immigrants come => Fresh meat.
In US it's scary though. Too many of them are said "Sure u can do this business on H1, our half team is like that" My upline, while it's legal and screws the prospects of getting permanent residence.
Our bologna has a first name
It's A-M-W-A-Y
Our bologna has a second name
It' QU-IX-T-A-R
You'll need at least a tape a day
and if you ask us why we'll say
Cause ALTICOR has a way
with B-O-L-O-G-N-A
Quixtar: I got rich doing this business, let me show you how to take away my potential clients
(Makes since, right????)
Quixtar "You Can Be a Winner"
Side effects are no family left,no friends left,no money left,no life left, etc etc etc ...............
Quixtar:
"Creating false hope with overpriced soap!"
"Our bologna has a first name
It's A-M-W-A-Y
Our bologna has a second name
It' QU-IX-T-A-R
You'll need at least a tape a day
and if you ask us why we'll say
Cause ALTICOR has a way
with B-O-L-O-G-N-A"
LOL Good One George!
I pick you to be the winner of the slogan contest.
Quixtar: The Business of Chumpions
QUIXTAR "DESPARATE SALESPEOPLE"
I sit in my box, and ponder away,
The meaning of life, from day to day.
Occasionally, food and drink do I get
But from this box, to leave I can't yet.
From 9 to 6, I view stupid comics
An hour for lunch, a nap and food does it promise.
Work, or should I say where I drool,
Is boring, and droll; 5 days for the fool.
Creepy coworkers do sit in their boxes,
Typing and talking, their chairs smell like crotches.
Coffee breaks, cigarettes, lunch-time forays,
I'd rather be stung by an eel! The moray!
Thirty-six thousand is barely enough for,
All of this life that I hardly am out for.
Live, breathe, and die, their cubes they call home,
Pathetic and cheerless, their lives are alone.
Working to make other's visions to pass,
40 long years, then you're out on your ass.
No pension or caretaking, you've been hard cut
Two stronger and younger put you out on your butt.
I've got a way out, I've stepped off the train,
Its different and difficult, sometimes giving me pain.
Two to five years, I hear from their voices,
Freedom and family, what much better choices.
Go love your boss, kiss his ass every day,
My agenda is different, I don't care what you say.
Condescend, berate, even threaten you might,
But my business it lives; I work hard every night.
My volume's increasing, along with belief,
My dreams you can't steal, even if you're a thief!
I'll work hard and work smart, and push through the night,
My dreams and goals realized, with the morning sunlight.
I want to thank you, every last one,
That doubted me, faulted me, said it couldn't be done.
I just dug in, got dirty, and made it my own,
I worked hard, my team grew, though I started alone.
So reach hard and stretch far, and give it your all...
The desire's the fire, so make it your call.
Go Diamond, and work hard, get on the ball,
We'll see you with us, on the beaches, one and all.
-------------------------------------------------
I only wonder this...and I am asking for non-biased, non-opinionated words. That means many of you won't be able to respond...
If none of this works...why did I finally submit to my upline, listen to what he said about my spending habits that no one else would approach me about, and finally get my finances under control?
I was about $40k in debt, and now I only have about $12k. This was due to my upline, (and also best buddy in college) saying something about it. No one else had the guts to confront me about it.
I changed a little of my buying habits, but also changed what I spend on. Due to the growing of my business, I was able to get rid of about $800 a month in bills. I stopped buying junk food outside, and used the same cash for Nutrilite and such. It really seems to be working.
Can you really fault me for feeling so much better as I am getting out of debt and now feeling better in the morning because of the DoubleX I take?
Please post...
But Christopher, are you working your J-O-B as you do the quixtar business?
Quixtar works! Who ya gonna believe, me or your own eyes?
I'm from Sydney Australia and when in the States from 1989 - 1995 , I used to be
in the Amway business and as far as I am concerned, I only met good honest integrable people in the business and learnt some great principle which helped me tide over some serious dissappointments.
The AMWAY business is how u see it... There are good honest distributors and the bad unscrupulous ones.
Kumar Shivaramakrishnan's business is part of the BRITT SYSTEM, one of the most
integrable methods of conducting this business.
