Because there are so many sellers right now, the competition is very tough. Because of this, product and service providers are always trying to be the best at what they do. How can they make sure that their sales increase more than their closest competitors? So, they do what the snake in the Garden of Eden tried to do. Instead of the apple that Eve was tempted to eat, companies today give away free stuff to anyone who wants it. Customers are really being taken care of these days, with free gifts, discounts, and sales.
Today's department stores are a great example of how brands try to make their customers happy. If you go to a big department store and spend more than a certain amount, discount coupons and freebies of all kinds will be thrown at you. Some of the bonuses that consumers get are beauty products at rock-bottom prices, electronics with a lot of free extras, and discount coupons for the newest restaurants. The main goal is to buy the loyalty of customers who don't know what's going on.
Credit cards are a great example of how companies that offer different services try to win over customers. If you look at a credit card with an open mind, it's really just a loan based on your income. But credit cards have become signs of success in the twenty-first century. Like nice cars and houses in nice neighbourhoods, the more credit cards you have, the more money you make right now. But is it fair to say that credit cards are a good way to show how much money you have? Just look at all the discounts they offer to get more and more people to buy their credit cards.
First of all, people who aren't filthy rich can now get credit cards. These cards can now be used by people with middle-class incomes as well. Also, cash-back credit cards are a good choice for people who have set aside a certain amount of money to spend on their credit cards. Some cards are easy to sell because they don't charge interest for the first three months. People who don't want to spend a lot of time researching the best deals on the market are easily persuaded by such offers. Give away some free stuff, and when you come back, you'll have a lot of clients.
