$6 tins at P&C (after $5 P&C cash)

[woodsroad]

You two should just man up about your affection for one another and quit bickering.

 

[PipeIT]

All I’m trying to say, businesses have to be careful, with their choices in wording and how they market, that’s all.

And every American should get this.

I get a little antsy with eCommerce, because as a pc geek and former tech, computers, eCommerce, web design, any of it, it’s my world.

And many of us know, there are a lot of scams out there online, and I’m not saying P&C is, but, when you know all the BS that happens too online, it also should make you wonder, how many businesses might take advantage of a situation like this, thinking, who cares, everyone else pulls crap online supposedly deceiving, so hey, might as well join in.

Again, I’m not saying anyone is being, and or deceptive here, just choose your wording and marketing strategies better for consumers is all.

But then, honestly who really knows the truth, when it comes to any business, as I said, unless you personally know them...

Thanks for sharing. I see there are some good options in there.

I'll concede nothing... even on my deathbed. This guy wants websites to have arrows, flow charts, or something.

It's a promo flyer. In what world would he think the promo applies to the entire website.... after it clearly says it doesn't. If you wait 5 seconds it switches to a different promo flyer with some other offer. It says it applies to 50 tins and to click here. Heavens to Betsy...

Does the flow need to go counterclockwise or someone?


Alright.... So now you've clicked and Christ would you look at that.

Do you have an an IT background?

I do, over 30 years, anything and everything related to computers, and that also means eCommerce and webdesign.

Also, none of it, is my own personal opinions I’m expressing here because that is pointless, but what are the Industry Accepted Standards in eCommerce.

I’m speaking here as a professional, you are pointing at me, as if I have no idea here, or I’m someone going off over nothing, and you are missing the points here.

It helps to be respectful on an online forum like this, and not start making this look like personal attacks back and forth, directed at anyone like you are doing.

I was only trying to point out a few things, you then started to take that and flip it back around on me, now as a problem. So please let’s not do this sort of thing next time.

Try not to blow things out of proportion, I wasn’t trying to also blow anything out of proportion either. I was only trying to point out the ‘Wording’, and I said this several times.

I’m always respectful around here to my fellow pipe smokers on this forum, and I never personally start going at someone either.

Just please pay attention next time...

Thanks

Sounds like it's flow chart time. Let me go find my markers

The fact that you say this, and that you still don’t understand what’s going on clearly shows, if you really care, you’d take a step back and reexamine yourself here.

I’ve stated several times the ‘Wording’ is the issue here, and you have failed several times to grasp it.

Then you draw little yellow arrows, that further show, you’re not understanding.

A website is not a book, it has a Home Page, but from there, a person can navigate in any direction they want.

The websites says ‘Every’ as I pointed out, now if a person fails to click the link, you can’t simply blame the consumer as bad or a stupid consumer, for supposedly not following directions, it’s not the point.

The point again is the WORDING ——> EVERY

Because, a consumer might only glance over an ad, then get distracted by something else, and then navigate somewhere else on a website, only REMEMBERING the WORD EVERY and start filling up their cart, thinking every tin gets a $5 deal.

Sure, a lot of people will click there, no one is disputing this. The wording in the ad, should of been better written to make sure you do click it, because it’s the only place for the deal.

You’re assuming every consumer who shops online is very Online eCommerce Internet Shopping Savvy, they’re not.

Consumers wander all over sites, many sites lost and confused about what is going on, this is very common, even to this day.

Don’t assume, just because you get it, everyone else does, and if they don’t then it’s their fault and they are idiots.

I mentioned already before, the wording should of implied different meaning, and then they should of also worded it to make sure the deal is only found here, no where else on the site.

Oh, and if we are making a deal at a specific place on a website, where all the products are at, rhetorically speaking, why even specify the products this way too with the wording ‘Every’. There is no need for that wording.

Most companies say;

$5 Discounts Here!
Or
$5 Discounts Found Here!

Remember now, we are also talking about Website Navigation and Wording...

This seems more like a job for Crayola. I can't understand this for him.

"I misunderstood the clearly created flyer, but I'm smart so must be the creators fault, so therefore I'm going to file an FTC complaint" - Ending to my pedantic flow chart I'll create after I wake up my daughter to steal the easel out of her room.

Now you’re being a Troll, and it’s not appreciated. I’ve been respectful towards you, trying to sincerely explain without being disrespectful, but you’re being rude.

If you can’t respect people on the internet without your snide little comments, then you shouldn’t participate online.

This is a very well respected community with a lot of members who have been here a very long time, most of them extremely respectful towards others.

And I say you’re acting like a Troll, because you have only 59 posts, and you have not established yourself around here.

So this is how you act towards others online, as a new member?

I’m done....

Lol that emoticon is actually created by the website when you type c r a y o n s. I changed it for you to easel (which I'll also need for my flow chart).

This guy's pedantic and exhausting to the point that he detracts from conversation. I was sitting there thinking I'm going to share a good deal with my fellow pipe smokers maybe shoot the hay about which blends people might consider, and his first response is "I better write 3 paragraphs about website ethics and link to the FTC".

Just thought I'd post for those looking to stock their cellars because you can essentially buy $5-8 tins all day long.

Edit: 50 tins to choose from but there's some good options in there. View attachment 228775

Keep in mind that the P & C. Cash may have expiration date and.can’t be used on sale items. Most every good tins are always on sale.

Thanks, that's good and useful information. I have a $20 one on my mantel from Christmas I'll need to check out. I didn't notice an expiration date on it but I'll check.

If you kids are going to rough house like this, you’ll have to play outside, ok?

I just want to talk about pipe and pipe accessories

54%. You're not exactly adding anything to the conversation. Are you going to tell us to sit in the corner next.
