curious? hhmmm, me too. well, while our contestant is giving it a thought, why don't you join in and take a guess? done? ready for the answer? let's scroll down for the unthinkable answer!
here it is. the long awaited answer. B. Fresco. Once again, i can assure you that this photo is taken at Fresco departmental store. the supermarket/departmental stores nowadays are really crazy. stocking up on products that do not have expiry date. how clever. beautifully done, i must say.
why?
with the increased price of oil per barrel to US$115.45 (18th April, 2008), it seems like the prices of everything are increased. bad economy for everyone. for the people in the supermarket/departmental store, they are taking advantage of this situation to make even more money.
how, you ask?
firstly, they jack up the prices of these products (without expiry date) which they have stocked up long time ago, along with other normal products, saying that they they don't have a choice since the prices of every other things are increased. and thus, earning a lot (from the old stocks).
secondly, they do not jack up the prices of these products. and thus, retaining old customers and attracting new customers. more customers, more business, more money.
thirdly, they use both the strategies. increasing the prices just below the prices in other hypermarket and in the mean time, keeping the customers happy.
well, once again, i can guarantee u that along with the toilet paper, we will not be facing the shortage problem of toothpaste!
