Promote student discount on a large scale

300 points posted to Advertising and Marketing, Dell Web Site by gatorbay 07/12/07

I know that there is currently a post similar to this already, and perhaps this could be merged to it. The previous post just asks for a student discount, which i know exists already. My proposal is to advertise and promote the student discount on a large scale. based on this site alone, a lot of people don't even know it exists. if not advertising it, at least make it easy to get to the discounts from the dell.com home page.

07/12/07		 Hey that was my idea last night...... But i like it .......one other thing the server randomly takes it time posting and it puts two cause you press it too many times....

07/12/07		 So yes some new feature they added to the server hangs on Idea posting but its there just open a new window and go to your profile and the idea is there. I know its frustrating but for some reason they think this new feature is good? Well keeps them busy deleted duplicate ideas.

So next time just let it hang and open a new window and check what happened, don't re-submit.

07/12/07		 We all deserve a discount, a student maybe cash poor now but not later, buy a cheap computer till you get a job. Its called drive and determination not kickbacks and freebies. How about Discounts across the board for all!

07/12/07		 Quit it with the special purpose discount requests. It seems like every subculture out there is asking for their own special discount for their clique; and all that does is raise the price for everyone else.

And why do you think Students are deserving of special discounts anyway?

Better to have:
Fireman Discounts (if you were thinking benefit to society) or
Unemployed Discounts (if you were thinking difficulty paying) or
Toddler Discounts (if you were thinking 'get them hooked young').
CEO Discounts (if you were thinking get them in the hands of future decision makers)

Vote for no more discounts so everyone can get a lower price here:
