'In this advertisement above, Macy's is advertising that their products are at its "lowest prices of the season." It is hard to believe that this advertisement is true because we do not know if the prices are the lowest compared to other stores. We also do not know if what Macy's compare their prices to. There are many companies with different products and prices and just because Macy's say that their prices are low, it does not mean it is lower than another company's prices. Macy's should specify why their products is at a low price or compare their prices to something else. From my own experience, online shopping is different than shopping at the actual store. There are many products that are at the stores rather than online or even vice versa sometimes. Some prices are different too because some Macy's sell their product their own way. It is hard to trust money transaction online because we do not know for sure if we will receive the products that we purchase. There are many scams for online purchasing and no one wants to get their identity stolen. I personally think that Macy's is a little pricey, even for their sale items. Many people may believe in this advertisement because Macy's is a very huge and well known company, which gives them authority. Macy's is known everywhere like in newspaper, television and magazines. Overall, I have found lower prices on clothing at other stores compared to Macy's.
For the example you have provided for us about the company Macy's, showing that Macy's advertising their product at the lowest prices in the season is a great example. You proved that Macy's stores and Macy's online products are at different set of prices. Compare to their Macy's online and Macy's stores, i would find that the clothes that they sell in stores are less pricey than the ones that are online because i did my search on their website and store. plus, when i wanted clothes from their store, i would search on their website first to compare if the price were different and mostly i bought all my clothes there. great job
ReplyDeleteI like your ad! Many stores do this all the time! They try to get people to buy stuff from their store because they have the lowest prices of the season. Even though prices are usually high all throughout year so that why they try to use this appeal to get people to come to their stores. The fact that you recognize it and pointed it out is really good as well. Their prices being low is not that good of a point because like you previously said, there are many other stores with lower prices since Macy's can be semi-pricey.
ReplyDeleteI also forgot to say that you did a great job with this post! Also that since Macy's is so big, they do have a high authority which is why many people would believe it and think they are getting a deal.
