I think it's about time Bid tv et al came up with a different way to mislead us into buying their goods ,I do wonder what their next little trick will be,perhaps we could help them! any suggestions?The latest as we know is the "gold"...hey, we mention once that we're selling something that's gold plated (ie, we've covered our backs) we can continue calling it gold for the rest of the presentation...no one will be any of the wiser. There's been the "short of time" ploy......we normally wouldn't let this go at such a low price, but we're so short of time we need to move on...ha ha. The warehouse clearances....cheap crap bought in especially for the purpose...NOT as they'd have us believe, left over stock that they genuinely need to clear in order to make room for new products. We've had the "you're getting these for less than we paid for them" yeah, sure we are, unless you're comparing the thousands of units you've bought to the one unit we've bought, in which case this statement would be true!
I'd love to be a fly on the wall in one of their meetings, I can imagine them sitting round a table bouncing ideas around
Give a lengthy history lesson before the presentation..that'll add kudos
Play classical music, whilst displaying the jewellery on a slow moving turntable....really adds that touch of class
Compare the price with something mudane that you've recently bought.....Eg, for that money just last week I bought a magazine, yes a magazine for that price, I've read it and it's now in the bin..for that money I could have bought this beautiful "GOLD" bracelet!...oh and fgs don't factor in the p&p costs, if you don't mention it, no one will notice!
The other day Caroline Lindsay, who I think is the biggest bullshi**er on the channel came up this this gem......A crap item, can't remember what it was, but it had dropped to £4.99..said "I paid more than that yesterday for some bananas and a bottle of water"! .....Where from my love?....Fortnum and bleedin' Mason?...Or did you forget the £3 you paid in bus fare to the shops to buy them. I think the presenters are so trained to "forget" extra little charges, that it comes as second nature to them!
Anyway any ideas on how to mislead..it doesn't matter how obvious it is..no one will notice!
