Trap of beauty salon

Hot 1732 views. 2016-3-28 11:40 | beauty

I live very close with one of Carrefour, Yesterday I went back home from the fitness, wanted to buy some foods for this week. As everybody knows that there are many promotions by some of food suppliers waiting outside cashier counter, such as some milks or oils pay less with you’re the slip of the payment over certain amount from Carrefour, then you may have the one.

There are always many people especial on weekend in Carrefour. I was lucky only a few people waiting for the cashier at the morning, after I paid my bill, there were a girl and a boy nicely smile to me and said, would you want to exchange something or get free a handbag with your slip? I thought it is normal, why not? I followed them to come one of store, like to offer for sale. On the way the girl and the boy were telling a lot about something for the facial, I seemed to hear nothing, only wanted to know what I can exchange or what I can get for free, they casted me gently. I doubt and realized something at once, ok I have something to do now, thank you for your invitation. I know there is reluctant to slime on my cold face, I just wanted to run away here as soon as possible. Due to I had such experience wrong leading by shopping guides before, they used to a little something free to let you to buy things in fact it is totally useless, but they exaggerated the function of the produce by beautiful language, most of old women are easy to believe what they said and they paid without any doubt. This is one way to find the guests of the salon, why I was so angry that they are not using right way to tell the guest what they want, cheating the customs at the beginning, if they told me at the first, maybe I can accept and listen to them for a while.

In fact I got nothing when I was out of the place, for sure there is trap of this beauty salon, I was lucky I did not become their one of baits.

No matter where you go there would always be sales tactics. Some don't have enough walk-in customers so they would have to resort to drag-in. You are smart enough not to fall for these sweet talking sales techniques. The choice of patronizing or not is yours without pressure or influence. There are never free lunches in this world. There are bound to be some tricks if it is free. Some people find it difficult or too mean to walk away from friendly promotions, but it is better to be careful than sorry. Nowadays most of us go according to the words of friends who have tried those services. By the way, that salon looks quite decent.

I have noticed that some people won't buy those frying pans from the stores but when there is some active promotion outside the stores, they would buy it. They claim to be able to fry eggs without oil and the pans does not need washing. When you try those pans at home, you would the the egg tasteless and dry and it does need washing otherwise next time you use it, it would be stained.

Another type are those who would offer a mystery free gift wrapped in gift paper if you buy any one product. The gift turn out to be some useless stationery. Some other shops put out banners saying last 2 days and they would be closing down and everything half price. One year later they are still there using the same trick. When confronted they say their lease has been extended.

Some customers are also strange, they would treat those free tasting offers as free lunch and would try those food over and over again without buying.

So have I bought anything good at discount sales? Yes, I certainly have including a wonderful cellphone which I used satisfyingly for 2 years. Shopping does require some intelligence and careful consideration.

yeah, some of promotion to issue the coupon instead of some refund for sales. the coupon is only used at some of counters, so I agreed with you, discount sales is much better than anything method of promotion.
