Love

Dell should include love with Dell computers. Romance would be a unique and popular selling point.

Okay gotta turn that into a legitimate idea. Er, how about a tag attached to the PC, which you can easily remove, thanking the buyer for their love and offering love back.

05/23/07		 It is afterall, what the world needs.
premcv
05/23/07		 Think we'll hear from dell_admin1 soon.
jorge
05/23/07		 We're talking the non-body fluid transfer Love, right?
premcv
05/23/07		 I hope so...
jervis961
05/23/07		 Cosh, you scare me sometimes. A goth that wants to spread the word of love? Which decade are you from flower child goth boy??
Will your bill be signed - Love and kisses from Dell. XOXOXO
cosh
05/23/07		 I'm a hopeless romantic.

How about something like:

With love and kisses from Dell, you're friendly computer-selling cupid.
We hope you will love your PC as much as we loved making it.

05/23/07		 It was only apropos that thebittersea demote this.
jorge
05/23/07		 No love in thebittersea.

05/23/07		 Love is In (or On) the Web (spiderman web?)
:) Have to look at the right places(?)!
bennish
05/23/07		 oh man... i think i'm gonna cry :p

it's a nice idea actually. some companies use this approach. unfortunately i don't think it fits in with dell's image. i know we're trying to change it... maybe it would work. i could see hp doing it.

'We loved making this computer just for you. We hope you'll love using it, and it will grow into a warm and happy part of your life'. something like that.

i think it's about time for reg to come in here and post an apple ad... any second...
jorge
05/23/07		 I'll do my version: Apple they love to keep their hands in your wallet. They just released an update to OS-X! Thats $129.95 good ol customer, but keep your wallet open the next update is just round the corner.
jervis961
05/24/07		 You can love your computer, just dont LOVE your computer.
bennish
05/25/07		 hear hear jorge!

and lol@jervis
cosh
07/29/07		 How sad. This is the least popular idea I've ever posted.
jervis961
07/29/07		 It happens to everyone. I promoted it.
jorge
07/30/07		 No it only happens to us :D
cosh
10/10/07		 What the heck did I post this for anyway? What was I on?
premcv
10/10/07		 Ecstasy?
jorge
10/10/07		 Hey I moted it it too!

It was rough back then, lots-o hate on the site, sort of like these days.

I miss the positive idea day (note singular). Now they're threatening to delete my admin4&5 take over admin1 idea, they say lots-o abuse but I don't see it?
dell_admin1
10/10/07		 LOL - cosh - you can move this to Delete Requests if you want to.
jorge
10/10/07		 See cosh its best to leave it alone, next time lets discuss these types of ideas else where so they don't get deleted, they need to be here for the history of the site.
cosh
10/11/07		 Wow! How did you see this dell_admin1? I was thinking that any idea neither you nor another admin had ever commented on could become an undetected haven for irrelevant conversation. But I guess you check the "Comments" tab too.
dell_admin1
10/11/07		 There are few undetected havens :)
jorge
10/11/07		 Thats why its best not to touch those havens!
dell_admin1
10/23/07		 @cosh - just a reminder that you can move this to delete requests if you want to.
jervis961
10/23/07		 HINT HINT
jorge
10/23/07		 No, its doing fine here, delete the reported abuse ideas first.
cosh
10/23/07		 @dell_admin1 - I've decided I like your new policy of keeping stupid ideas.

With the 96th lowest score on the site, that puts this in the bottom 2 percent, the exact opposite of what would be required for it to join Mensa. Quite an achievement I feel.
jervis961
10/23/07		 lol
dell_admin1
10/23/07		 okey dokey cosh.

@jorge - this was reported abuse.
jervis961
10/23/07		 What about it is against the TOU? Or is it that someone just didn't think it was an idea?
dell_admin1
10/23/07		 Nothing about it is against the TOU - that's why I won't do anything about it unless cosh wants to. Someone did not think it was an idea/relevant.
jorge
10/23/07		 So why haven't you removed the idea I marked abuse? I know others have too, and most likely way before this one. Go bug them.
cosh
10/24/07		 *pretends to be shocked* What did somebody say about my idea? Is it not wanted? Is it not loved? Have they no love in their hearts themselves?
winoffice
11/22/07		 LOL!!!! Hopefully this idea will never be **IMPLEMENTED** or even **PARTIALLY IMPLEMENTED**.
winoffice
11/22/07		 cosh: "I'm a hopeless romantic."

Then I wonder who he is dating? Okay this is a joke.
petzymathuram
11/23/07		 Hi Cosh ....Here's something for someone / anybody in Love over here: Cosh you can go ahead to sing these words for your loved one...;)

petzymathuram
11/23/07		 Cosh..by the way..enjoyed your thanksgiving?
sugarbear
11/23/07		 Actually this goes along with the new commercials with the stars, where you can put money on an account for your loved ones to buy from Dell. www.yoursishere.com
petzymathuram
11/23/07		 Be it whatever.....sugary beary....comments were juzz for fun....;)...

By the way how are you?
petzymathuram
11/23/07		 Sugary beary...yours is here is a good initiative...have alook at this advertisement. I love this ad...Dell needs to have such meaningful and creative ads ...to touch a million hearts over here...;)

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=U_4vAKMrrWE< What is your opinion sugary beary?
sugarbear
11/23/07		 Petzy, that is a good commercial. If Dell would have done the same commercial, showing the little boy taking his piggy bank to buy a Dell pc. It would be a winner.
petzymathuram
11/23/07		 But dell is showing Devil like women painted their lips and nails in black...if they show commercials like these over here...everybody will close their eyes...;)

I'm happy that you like the commercial too...;)
natalie_d
11/23/07		 Cute idea sugarbear!
jervis961
11/23/07		 I guess now we know who got stuck working the holiday weekend. Hey #12
sugarbear
11/23/07		 @Dell_admin12, thank petzy for finding that commercial on Utube. I think I will post it as an idea. Most any woman would like this commercial. We know women are into tech and pc`s and are the new buyers.

@petzy, I am going to post this idea, with credit going to you, and your wonderful commercial. I agree with you on the XPS comercial with the ice princesses. Dell was aiming at the high tech crowd to go with the high tech XPS. But most of the home users aren`t into that techy a commercial.
natalie_d
11/23/07		 @jervis961, LOL. It's a good weekend to work! I get to read some good ideas while the turkey digests! Ugh! Too much food!

@sugarbear, I agree. Women are becoming so much more tech savvy. And I do love the nails!!!
winoffice
11/23/07		 @dell_admin12, it still is a popularly accepted stereotype that only men are crazy about technology.
sugarbear
11/23/07		 Some of us women are changing that.
jervis961
11/23/07		 Nothing better than a women who is tech savvy. Well, unless you can find one that is tech savvy and rich enough to buy all the stuff. :)
Very expensive hobby. LOL
winoffice
11/23/07		 I am not very rich and yet I was able to buy a Dell Inspiron XPS Generation 2 as well as a Dell Dimension XPS Generation 5, both in this year - I am very tech savvy, but I am not a woman! However jervis961, I might be making my career working with computers and not just have this as a hobby.
winoffice
11/23/07		 premcv said in a comment that was posted on May 23: "I hope so...."

I certainly share your hope.
sugarbear
11/23/07		 Jervis961, there is a joke in the south about that. Bubba was looking for a girl friend. His requirements were a fishing boat, a 4 wheel drive pick up truck, a hunting dog, and she be a good shot. Send picture of the boat,truck,dog, and guns. If these were acceptable to him, then he wanted a picture of her.
sugarbear
11/23/07		 Times are changing guys ! You will find in the US a lot more women are business leaders or own business`s. Women are more interested in techy things. and women are a leading market in major purchases, such as pc`s, tv`s and bigger dollar items. Then there are some of us that combine it all.
jervis961
11/23/07		 I agree sugarbear. The ones who are not as savvy come to me all the time asking questions about what to buy. They don't want a simple answer either they want to learn more about the products in the process. Times they are a changing for the better.
cosh
11/23/07		 Oh hello then what's going on here. I can't remember what this idea is about but I'm too ashamed to go back over anything I wrote on it again.

By the way thank you for the well-wishes Petzy. :) Hello dell_admin12 et al.
sugarbear
11/23/07		 Cosh, this goes right along with the www.yoursishere.com .Don`t be ashamed.
petzymathuram
11/23/07		 Hi Sugary Beary...thanx for your compliments...;)

Hi Cosh, Jervis, DA12, winoffice.......my good wishes to all of you...;)
sugarbear
11/23/07		 Any time, if you hadn`t posted the video, I wouldn`t have posted the idea. And let`s not forget DA12`s help. We worked together well.
petzymathuram
11/23/07		 Yep Sugary Beary....U R right....I'm ready to help Dell and it's my duty too. I'll make sure that Dell covers up all the requirements of the society.
Sugary Beary thanx for all your immense support...Let's all join together to stem up Dell with Pride...

natalie_d

petzymathuram
11/23/07		 Watch the Bollywood icon Hrithik...in some ads ..when you look at these ads you might have an idea as how ads influence the community over here. It will help Dell to analyze them for their commercials...
