What does the rest of the retailers shop look like?



    Did the company producing the graphics receive the proper releases before creating them? If all the elements were contracted by Samsung, did they have releases to use each of the logos for marketing purposes? Is this an official Samsung-designed and supplied sales area or one created by the retailer to display Samsung products?



    Not nearly enough known to make any judgement.



    It IS a Samsung store.

    Yes. It's a Samsung store within another store, just the way Apple does it. Are you saying that Apple isn't responsible for the way their stores within a store are set up? Are you saying that Apple isn't responsible if they also have the photo's of that store within a store on their own website and don't bother to look to see if everything's correct?



    Oh, you know you would blame them. But this isn't Apple, so you're on their side.

    Well, you may not be the one that follows, but you're certainly going to be one of the shorter-lived trolls here.

    Geez Mel. I'm not saying anything about Apple.

    Now you know how Euronics stores are set up too? And that Samsung does the setup up of their mini-displays just like Apple does their stores. And that everything in the photo was put there by Samsung? And no one has releases for anything on the walls? I should have just asked you in the first place rather than posting questions I have to ask/answer for clients several times a year as part of my business services.

    It's the responsibility of the company whose store within a store it is. That means Samsung. Seriously! To make excuses is nuts! Samsung should have checked that out carefully. They should have demanded a picture of it before it was built. AND they should have made sure that every other companies images were allowable under trademark laws applicable wherever the store is. This is standard procedure. I had a commercial photo lab. I had to ask my customers if I could put one of their images up on my walls. You aren't allowed to do this. Can you imagine Apple not checking every detail first? Of course not!



    Why are you so quick to give Samsung a pass?



    You're not saying anything about Apple because it doesn't involve Apple directly. They didn't do anything. I'm asking you directly if you would give Apple a pass if it happened to them. A quick yes or no would be fine.

    FACT: Samsung is trying to mislead buyers into thinking they're buying an iPhone.



    Samsung is a shameless copycat and everyone knows it. JUST F'IN ADMIT IT.

    Asking pertinent questions is not the same as giving a pass, and how Apple does retail has no bearing on this. Why are you so quick to claim Samsung guilty. . of something. With nothing more to go on than a photo taken inside another retailer's store? Seriously.



    I've worked with General Growth, one of the largest mall developer's in the world, for over 15 years. I've set up 1000's of store displays and related signage/messaging, including in-store kiosks within other stores. Worked in cities from Savannah, GA to Pembroke, FL, handling in-mall promotions for 17 different properties. In nearly every instance I've had to deal with, the contract seller within the store has little to say about what is in the background of their area. They pay for a certain square footage for a certain term. Sometimes a 3rd party provider supplies the display elements. Other times the store itself handles setup and requires the 3rd-party staff to work from their facilities. At other times the seller handles every detail, including setup. And often a company like mine is contracted to design/produce/install the design elements.



    In this case you have little idea what you're talking about. IMHO, you simply missed the part of the story that mentioned the display was within another retailers's store when trying to correct me, then tried to cover with an 'authoritive" post. There is no "rule" about how the contract seller handles the display/setup requirements. It varies with circumstances, thus the reason for the questions I posed.

    I'd ask the exact same questions.

    How much will it cost to hire some local South Korea thugs to "teach" Samsung executives some lesson??



    In US, you can pay somebody some $20-baggies and get a lot of things done "off the record", if you know what I mean.



    In China, couple hundred US dollars can get tons of thing done. However, murder-for-hire may cost a bit more.
