View Full Version : UUC Banner
ImageDynamicsM3 04-28-2002, 08:32 PM Has anyone else noticed the saying at the end of the UUC Banner. It ends saying somthing like, It makes happy customers easy. Now I don't really know how hard work on a product could make me "easy" LOL A little alcohol could make me easy though. LOL Sorry, I am not flaming, but just pointing out that either I don't understand the wordage, or it is a grammatical error. I think it sounds better without the word easy at the end. "It makes happy customers"
bungy42 04-29-2002, 01:46 PM Everytime I see it, there's a section where it says "No Hype..."
...and I think, "No Hype? What happened to Hyperion?"
Hyperion 04-29-2002, 02:53 PM He died and went to Vegas after being kicked out of hell...
But ya, it does sound a little funny in the wordage....:dunno
DSK M3/4 04-29-2002, 06:10 PM i think they are saying that by working hard, it is easy to get satisfied customers. it does sound weird though.
satyen119 04-29-2002, 06:50 PM it actually reads:
"designing Ultimate quality is hard... but it makes happy customers easy."
you're right, that makes no sense. :biglaughb
ImageDynamicsM3 04-29-2002, 09:14 PM I thought nobody else noticed. Nobody wanted to respond to it for a couple days LOL. :biglaughb
Rob Levinson 04-30-2002, 12:26 AM Yeah, yeah, I know... the weirding is word. I mean... ah, hell.
Considering that I almost got my BA in English (got it in something else instead), it rubbed me the wrong way too... but I couldn't think of a better way to get the concept across except to resort to "advertising grammar".
So here's an idea; <b>two</b> contests!
Contest 1: re-word that in a better way, and if UUC uses it, you get a cool prize.
Contest 2: design a better banner, and if UUC uses it, you get a <i>cooler</i> prize! (you have to follow the Bimmerforums guidelines for dimensions and size)

ImageDynamicsM3 04-30-2002, 01:14 AM Are you on back-order with the tranny mounts and enforcers? I ordered 2 weeks ago and the status page still says "not sent". Just curious. Thanks

ImageDynamicsM3 04-30-2002, 12:19 PM ok sorry... Thanks for the reply
KmanM3 04-30-2002, 01:17 PM Why not just change it to:
"Designing Ultimate quality is hard, making customers happy is easy."

That doesn't say exactly the same thing.
The idea is "making customers is <i>not</i> easy without providing ultimate quality."
See the difference?

Why not just use that? :dunno It works for me. :D
You didn't mention anything about employees of UUC are not eligible, so you can win contest number one and get the cool prize. :biglaughb
Here's one:
UUC Motorwerks: Ultimate quality means Ultimate Customer satisfaction.

Stylin 05-02-2002, 09:00 PM We should post this contest in the general forum to get more attention.. a new post by Rob would be best since this is his contest. How about it Rob??!
CruzrM3 05-02-2002, 09:26 PM Lemme rework that:
UUC Motorwerks: Ultimate quality means Ultimate Customer satisfaction.
