Independents

Back to the point ....

 

Is it right for the said retailer to advertised something no longer available?  I am with Bernard here.  It takes Money to advertise and in this case, if the product is no longer available, then it does not make financial 'sense' to do that right? There is another aspect which is awareness.  In this case, this is creating awareness of the brand and I see nothing wrong with it.  Unless they sell u and they cannot deliver, then its another thing altogether.

As to product knowledge, not being treated well, etc etc, I am sure many, if not all, would have faced them sometime before.  Lets get on in life.  Just dont spend the money there if you dont feel well.  For one that walk away, there are many who experiences differs and contribute to the growing reputation of the outlet.

I applaud any effort to promote the independents.

Good day

These advertisements are actually constructive and good for Kari and the AHCI

I think it is honorable and good that the people at the retail level continue to advertise inspite of this watch being "sold out". My perception is that (1) the AHCI guys have very little exposure. Not much editorials (except mine) space is spent on them,...

....when they pressure forums like these to enforce their good name on their behalf, and when they do not have adequate training for simple courtesy and civility among their staff? Most times, the common folk step into one of these stores and are treated ...
