I too visited Target and saw a similar sign. And what did it make me do?
Instead of spending some money on Lego as I might have done, instead I think
"maybe I'll wait for the sale in case the things I want might be cheaper".
Now human nature being what it is, maybe I may have spent that money
elsewhere before the Target sale. So why do Target do this?
To my mind, advance advertising like this (especially in-store) is entirely
counter-productive. I read the sign as saying "Buy now and you will be
paying too much". If I had not seen the sign, I might well have bought
something. Then when the sale commenced, the advertising of it may have
caused me to visit again and spend even more.
James, as a retailer, does Target's advertising make any sense to you?
