Consumer Problems with Ads • FTC defines Deception as a material “representation, omission, or practice that is likely to mislead a (reasonable) consumer…to the consumer’s detriment • Fraud is a deliberate deception that, with full knowledge of the perpetrator, misleads or gains an unfair advantage and results in financial loss to the consumer

  16. Deceptive Practice • Deceptive advertising – deliberately misleads consumers

  17. Puffery • Using claims or descriptions to exaggerate (“puff up”) a product’s reputation or appeal • “New” • “Unique” • “Extra-strength” • “Super-strength” • FACTUALLY WRONG – penalties but hard to prosecute vague but difficult to prove

  18. Sales Prices • Implies a bargain • Lower prices than customary • Before it can go on sale a retailer must sell the item regularly at the nonsale price

  19. Competitive Pricing • Retailer cannot legally say that its prices are lower than a competitor’s without actual proof • Only imply lower prices • Do not provide proof

  20. Practice of convincing customers to buy a higher-priced item than they originally intended I.e., VCR - $300 and sales person shows you a $500 VCR More features – Do you need these features? Nothing illegal about this practice Generally the retailer makes a bigger profit on more expensive items Be prepared to say NO!!! Trading Up

  21. Deceptive Practice Examples • Companies may advertise sales at 50% off. However, the company first marks the product way up and then marks them down 50% so that they still make a profit.

  22. FTC (Federal Trade Commission) • Most important federal consumer protection agency • Responsible for protecting consumers from unfair or deceptive business practices, such as misleading information in advertising or product labels.

  23. Loss Leader • The item priced below cost to attract you to the store • Retailer will lose money if you only buy that item, but it gets you to the store in hopes of purchasing other items

  24. Consumers Union • Consumer Report Magazine • Test Products and rates them on the basis of quality Consumer Reports Online
