How to insult your prospective customers

Looking for ultra compact patio fruit trees, I found this supplier:

SPECIAL DEAL - Patio Fruit Garden (Pomegranate, Fig, Kiwi, Grapes & Goji Berry)

Maybe I'm being a tad pretentious, but this line:

...doesn't seem to be the best way to win favour. Even me? Is that saying I'm the bottom margin of incompetence? And why the exclamation mark, are they shouting at me because I'm so stupid?

Perhaps they're right. I did look at an ad that was for 4 dwarf trees for nearly £82 in total.

I rant this tongue in cheek, I'm sure they must produce good trees.

 

My wife got an email from Groupon yesterday for these trees; to buy them for £29.99 instead of £80+ :thumb:

Still not tempted, not something I need..

 

Actually that should read 'anyone can do it' not 'any one .....'

 

I think they're just following a general trend. No one wants to do anything which might involve any sort of skill any more, so the way to sell stuff is to tell us that even a drooling idiot could cope. The one exception to this seems to be the mobile phone, which is now unsaleable unless it has so many gadgets and apps that it takes several years to learn how to make a simple call successfully, by which time the damn thing is obsolete.
