Deceptive Advertising? - tanTALK

Sherin · 02-08-2005, 12:53 PM

I had a lady come in last night and wanted me to sell her 10 HP tans for $75.00. I told her tha we had a buy 7 & get 2 free for $175.00.
Come to find out that one of my competitors is selling "High Performance" as High Pressure! Not the same thing...Now if she had been comparing apples to apples...I could have accomodated her...But she didn't want to hear about any of it...

is the competitor calling them a high pressure bed?

No, High Performance...
The customer is not making the distinction...

"high performance tanning" is trademarked by Leif of QDM (Dr Muller). And the trademark hasn't expired. Email Leif and let him know.
