MadManMike Posted March 16, 2008 Report Share Posted March 16, 2008 Mr Deng: Gimme £175 and I'll sort that nasty looking website out www.solutions84.co.ukSeriously, that doesn't promote your product! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
basher Posted March 16, 2008 Report Share Posted March 16, 2008 I dont no why he doesnt invest in one really good website that has all the brands inside it. It would make his company seem a whole lot more proffesional. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rusevelt Posted March 17, 2008 Report Share Posted March 17, 2008 I dont no why he doesnt invest in one really good website that has all the brands inside it. It would make his company seem a whole lot more proffesional.Probably because Deng prefers to invest his money in the R&D of his bikes rather than fancy looking websites. after all its the products that is currently making him a world leader for the trials market and when you look at the bigger picture of how china is fast becoming the economic superpower country, its easy to see why deng is comfortable sitting on top of the trials retail mantle. his websites look shite but his trials products REALLY STAND OUT.

The Duck Posted March 17, 2008 Author Report Share Posted March 17, 2008 Was having a conversation about this the other day...There really isn't any point him spending money on his websites. He already has all the business he can cope with, he doesn't have to impress the consumer, thats the retailers' job, the only good reason he would have to razz up his website was if he was trying to attract more retailers, which hes not.So for him, financally, its a bit of a pointless activity.

I bet its hardly any. How many do you think the likes of koxx, onza, inspired, tensile have. An awfull lot they have compared to deng. The fact deng is a leader is because really he was the first to do every colour in the rainbow and get into most trials shops. And he was the first to start doing unusual disign like the gu and flood the market with these parts with the brands hes brought out nearly all at once. The fact is if you think of koxx who spend loads on haveing a great front with a excellent website and deng who draws a frame on CAD that looks nice and has it in production in months. You imediately think of koxx being way more proffesional.I think if he spent the time on making a good website and changeing the stigma quite a few people have of the companies by actually doing some proper testing and inovative stuff like companies pnza and koxx are doing then he would sell even more. Because slowly him being a leader i think will change because other companies such as ozonys and koxx onza dob mbk are no longer the companies in the background that only rich people buy.Was having a conversation about this the other day...There really isn't any point him spending money on his websites.

K-124 i bet makes a hell of alot more money than deng will. Im not sure which of the companies started of first weather it was koxx and then it expanded into other discipilines. But koox is seen as so professional and a company pushing technology with the likes of the koxx boxx Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think its fair to say most people on this forum have owned a deng frame, if not a frame, some sort of deng component.I don't think the same is true for koxx? Anyway I'm going to shut up, making it sound like a prefer deng to koxx, when infact the opposite is the case. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Go on koxx website and they have so many brands, uni trials flatland bmx, normal bmx, dirty jump and so on. So he will be a fair bit richer than deng i should think, plus think what koxx, koxx days. Which im sure was never done just to make money. But deng would never be able to get to a stage like that becaue he doesnt present the brands he has as being professional.

Echo-Scott Posted March 26, 2008 Report Share Posted March 26, 2008 By looking at the amount of people that buy deng frames purely because they are strong/long lasting and they are decent to ride I don't suppose deng would need a big fancy website. The one he has got just now is doing the basic job of what a website should do which is show the product and a bit of information about it.Scott :) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
