Red Herring on JBOH:
First, consumers were promised free Internet access if they agreed to be bombarded by online advertisements. Now, a discount brokerage is promising a free on-ramp to the Internet if they open an online account.
Upping the ante in the online financial-services marketing game, Beverly Hills, California-based J.B. Oxford (Nasdaq: JBOH) unveiled on Monday a new package of services that includes free Internet access. The catch: online investors and banking clients must keep a minimum of $2,000 in an account that functions as a souped-up online brokerage and banking service.
This is unprecedented among online brokerage companies. "I think it's a bold move, and I expect other brokerages to follow suit," says Dan Burke, a financial services analyst with Gomez Advisors. "They're taking advantage of people who are not very loyal to their ISPs."
LAND GRAB: To accompany the offer, J.B. Oxford will kick off a new $10 million television and advertising campaign this week.
(anybody seen the commercials, yet?)
