What do you call an ad that, while correct, has clearly been deliberately designed and placed to intentionally mislead the customer? Er, well, what do you call it other than 'marketing?'
I was in the mall this morning *shudder* and I saw this poster in the front window of a higher-end women's fashion boutique. I very much doubt they sell anything that starts at less than $250.
The poster reads:
All
summer
dresses
$28
off
And it was placed low enough so that the small print "off" was just at the very edge of the bottom of the window.
This is an ad guaranteed to bring in selectively-literate self-entitled scs, who are in turn guaranteed to blame, harass and yell at the employees.
Maybe this post belongs in morons in management, mods please move if appropriate.
(P.S. I'm amused to note that my spellchecker recognizes 'truthiness' as a word.)
(P.P.S. I'm even more amused to note my spellchecker does not recognize 'spellchecker' as a word.)
