At least their latest gimmick doesn't involve the slogan, "Inventory Reduction Sale", which has been beaten to death.
Our local MM guys are advertising "reduced" prices that are still the same from their ads back during the shows (and for the same boats).
Don't they realize that some folks do pay attention to and remember the older ads???
Where's the credibility???

I guess I was surprised to see any negative terms in a sales ad....
Using the phrase “stressful economic times” doesn’t make sense to me, no matter how it is packaged.
