How Advertising Works in Chippenham #21


  1. Decide on your company's Unique Selling Point
  2. Devise some natty straplines along the lines of: No need to ask, everything's a pound
  3. Don't price anything in your stores, just have big display signs to remind everything in the shop is priced at £1
  4. Wait for a blogger with a camera to spot something's slipped through the net
  5. Et voila!

For some reason I felt ridiculously pleased to find a little anarchy still rules when I found this on my trip into town last Thursday :)

  1. It's great when they get it wrong, something sneaks through to challenge the order of things. On the shopping front my wife is always checking the Tesco supermarket receipt as quite often the shelf BOGOF claim is not honoured at the till. Then they have to double the difference, a small victory but nice all the same.

  3. Damo - I've found I need to be hawklike at the till. I was charged £3.60 for some fresh ginger root the other day. Turned out it was 20p worth!

    Petoskystone - me too!

Hi, let's start a conversation - right here, right now! If you have a question, I'll also endeavour to get back to you over at your place.

My general policy re comments

I value genuine commenters for the conversation they bring. Those aiming to link back and give credence to commercial websites (thankfully rare) will be removed.

Blog posts are kept open for your Comments for as long as possible - for at least 3 months. I've reluctantly taken the decision if a post comes in for a sp@m attack after that time, I'll remove its Comments facility. I've found genuine comments are rarely left after 3 months, but dozens of sp@m comments are :( Removing these takes away the joy that a genuine comment might be left one day.
