Tell us everything upfront!
Stop allowing businesses to hide details in fine print. Regardless of the type of media being used, businesses should be obligated to tell consumers everything about the product/s being offered without hiding details in fine print or with fast talkers.
Why is this important?
Have you ever seen a television commercial for a weight loss supplement, an excercise machine, or a diet program? They have models showing you before & after shots like the product really works. Unfortunately, they fail to tell us that all the programs must incorporate a halthy diet & an excercise program. This is listed in the very small fine print on the bottom where it is difficult to see.
The same applies to many other ads like automotive sales, car insurance, food, etc...
Ever heard an ad for a car sale on the radio? At the end of the ad there is someone speaking really quickly telling us about all the hidden requirements for the deal being offered.
Why are companies allowed to tell us one thing in their ads & then say something else in fine print?
Companies should be obligated to tell consumers everything up front without hiding anything.
Recently the aviation industry was required to show the total cost of a ticket including taxes, so why can't the rest of the bsuiness world be required to get rid of the fine print too?
