Enticement for Unsuspecting Customers

By: Ajeet Khurana

No organization can survive these days, without selling more than its nearest rival. As a result, today's world is marked by a great deal of rivalry among product and service providers. How might they make certain that their sales revenues rise higher than those of their nearest competitors? Well, they do what the snake tried to do in the Garden of Eden. Instead of the apple that Eve was tempted to take a bite of, the companies of today offer freebies as and when opportunities pop up. From free gifts to discounts and sales, potential customers are as happy as can be.



A smart example of how corporations try to pamper their customers is seen in the department stores of the world. Walk into a decently large department store, get a bill of more than a certain amount, and start getting ready for the bags of discount coupons and freebies of all kinds. From beauty products at bargain-basement prices to electronic goods with a whole lot of free add-ons, to discount coupons to the newest restaurants -- these are just some of the countless motivations that consumers are given. The primary aim is to buy the business of frequent customers.



A very good example that shows how the providers of various services try to impress the customers is that of credit cards. If you look at it objectively, a credit card is at heart nothing but a loan given on the basis of one's income. Yet, credit cards have now become important indicators of wealth. Like cars and houses in posh localities, the greater the number of credit cards that you have, the higher is your monetary position in society. Yet, is it really fair to describe credit cards as being an accurate gauge of one's social standing? Just look at all the discounts that they offer to make sure that more and more people start using their cards.



First of all, credit cards are no longer limited to only the creamy layers of society. Middle income groups also have access to them these days. Moreover, the options of cash back credit cards make it a viable option for people who have decided to only spend a certain amount on their credit cards. Some cards sell themselves on the basis of being interest-free for the first three months. Such offers instantly win over customers who are not willing to waste too much time doing research on the best buys in the market. A few freebies are all that are needed to win over all sorts of customers.
