Honesty in Marketing
Came back from Mexico recently. One night I was walking down the main street in Tulum, when a man standing outside of his store shouted, "Hey! Crap you don't need! We've got it all! Come buy more crap you don't need!"
I gave the guy points for honesty. Have any examples of honesty in marketing to share?

Hi Noxx!
The "Guaranteed Worst Store in Town" seems to ring a bell. It's a place in Myrtle Beach.. or.. at least it was.... |

a. schwab dry goods store in memphis, tennessee. their motto is "if you can't find it at a. schwab's, you're better off without it."
you wouldn't think that was an example of honest marketing, but stop in sometime. stand between the giant XXXL overalls display and the elvis toilet seats and tell me it isn't true.

In Kilburn where I live, there's a shop called "Local Cheap Shop"
A gold star for imagination, I think |

The company I work for produces a Product line named "Performance Optimization Suite" EVERYONE, including Marketing refers to it as P.O.S.
And it is......
