FOOTBALL IS DEAD!

Nicolo, October 11th, 2010

No more footbal fun soon?

Italian second tier outfit Triestina have come up with a novel way to deal with their disappointing attendance figures. Struggling to fill their 32,454-seat Stadio Nereo Rocco, the club took the decision to close one of their stands for the entire season.

But rather than face the embarrassment of playing in front of thousands of empty seats, the stand has been covered with giant posters of fake fans.

The plan seems to be working a treat so far. Triestina won their match against Pescara 1-0 on Sunday, the stand closure was vindicated by an attendance of 3,810 genuine supporters, and those flat supporters not only seem to be having a great time, they also look good for the TV cameras.

    The frequency response is certainly more coherent in the Executive than in many Beats headphones. There’s no sign of that frustrating 15 dB volume difference between the lowest and highest frequencies. Instead, there are just a few extra decibels throughout the lower half of the output spectrum. The strongest frequency band in the Executive headphones is actually the low-mediums, which has a flattering effect on voices.

    A few months back, Beats By Dr. Dre and Monster decided to go their separate ways. Beats Audio is therefore now going it alone in the audio accessories game. The Executive noise cancelling headphones are one of the first products to hit the market since the split. So what’s new in this solo number?

    This age of technology and hyper-connectivity is making it possible for businesses to engage customers online, tapping into social networks and other digital media to get their story and vision–if not their physical product–in front of communities, browsing shoppers, and potential brand loyalists. More and more consumers are making the choice to shop online and as a result established retail brands are under pressure to adapt. If access is no longer so important, is the capital required to support a traditional distribution model a wise use of limited resources? This strategic question is underpinned by consumer data that is irrefutably pointing to the shift toward online shopping–comScore reports that retail e-commerce spending for November 2012 amounted to more than $20 billion, up 14% above the corresponding figures a year before.
