My Voice [4]

Product Advertisements, though its vast and covers almost every single product that are on sale at any supermarket shelf and even at small shops are something which we rarely can trust!  Back in school, many years ago, I learned that advertisements are very exaggerating.  Indeed it is!!

Thus as consumer we are made confused by the advertisements and ended up buying and using the product which are not suitable for each individuals.  To overcome such a situation, consumer must be smarter and sensitive in knowing the product well and ending up purchasing the right product for our use.

Last Sunday morning I came across an advertisement in a local newspaper showing a long list of items with promotional prices.  An item caught my attention, so I drove to the particular supermarket and went around searching for the item.  To my surprised the price of the item are not as advertised??? The price tag showed RM6.90 but the advertisement showed RM6.50!!!! 

That is just an item, what about the rest of the other items???  Is this the way to steer customers by putting an attractive price on the advertisement???  I believe that many customers are still blinded by such an advertisements, never to be aware of the fact that they have been cheated.  Whereas, there are also some who knew it and will never trust them any more in the future!!

Well, this seem to be the way many businessmen do their business these days, but do not count everyone in, there are still some who are sincere in running their business - nothing is 100%!
