Businesses should convince customer genuinely and make sure that the customers get what they pay for. Its not only a matter of making profits but also of making a good impression and reputation. These will lead many more customers who will patronize your store.

Honesty and ethical practices will possibly mean that things take longer than if you cheat, but, in the long run, it is simply the right thing to do.
From my experience in sales it is just too easy to pretend or lie by not saying things that should be said.
Whether it is online or brick and mortar, honesty is the best policy.

You said “I think good business ethics are essential to long term success,cheating and stealing from customers will only last for a short time.”
You’ve hit the nail on the head there. We can argue about the rights and wrongs of different approaches until we are blue in the face, but ultimately treating your customers with respect and decency is the only way forward in business.

Be bold! Let that marketer now that you are in charge. Don’t just agree to what they are saying. Better look around for yourself and rely on your own taste and instinct.

I will definitely not buy goods from a sales person who has way with words. If I sense he takes extra effort in convincing me to buy a product I will just shy away and move to another store. The sooner I am out of his sight the better.

How does marketing ethics online and offline differ? I wonder if there is a separate law concerning this matter because it seems that people think that if it is done online it is not covered by the same rules of ethics. There is so much freedom online that I think its high time we create clear policies on this.

If they have tricks in marketing so does buying. I believe that buying is an art where you can challenge your skill in getting the best value for your money. Also, you learn to deal with people and lastly you will learn to know about the product you are buying. If you are not in a hurry, try to ponder on the information before you swipe your card.

I will call it cheating basically because the storekeeper lied about the stock and destroyed the reputation on the lower model. In fact the old camera model could suffice the buyer’s requirement and there is no need to sell him the latest one. The world is already pouring with scammers, let us not be among them.

I would be willing to sell my products at low prices because I once heard a great speaker tell us to “get your market even at a loss”

I’ve always sold affordable products and services but made sure that quality is never compromised. The trick to gathering a loyal customer base is honesty.

When it comes to money and making profits anyone is susceptible to trickery and gimmicks. That is why anyone should be less trustworthy of people that they barely know. As a buyer, you should practice checking all available options before deciding. This will increase your chances of getting the best deals available and avoid swindlers.
