Retail stores across the UK have banded together in effort to stop a fall in retail spending. New and innovative ideas have sprung up to encourage you to part from your hard earned cash.
Many new adverts have arrived in the last week from all major retailers.
Here’s a look at a few:
New Look – ‘If it’s less than 3 it’s good for me’.
Top shop – ‘Lower abuse, worse quality. We all know what we’d prefer.’
Primark – If we sold at any lower cost, people would be dying for nothing!’
Zara – ‘The clothes are running red with our discounts.’
On top of these killer ads, all garments labels will now be different colours depending on how ethical the production was. For example; if the label is yellow, only kids were used during the making of the item. If the label is black however it means everyone involved in the production has died.
That should help you more ‘thoughtful’ shoppers out there.
The scheme, set to come in from mid December, should help people with their already hectic Xmas shopping. We imagine conversations will go like this on Christmas day; “I just saw it and thought of you, I know how you love cashmere and your ethical principals wont be compromised as only 3 slaves and 1 child died. It just screams you”.
This could really make a difference to my spending habits!! What a handy idea.
