Facebook is not only the time consumer of a majority of college students. One part of facebook is all about advertising. Online advertisements try to make good deals, but what buyers do not think of when buying merchandise is there is also a price for shipping and handling. The right side of the panel on facebook always has advertisements for clothing and shoes. A lot of advertising I see has to do with Fraternity and Sorority paraphernalia. The advertisement I saw most recently was for Greek stationary and gifts.
The website’s home page has a lot of eye-catching detail to keep the readers attention. The main page has a lot of pictures to advertise what they sell. They show the original price and the sale price right below it to make buyers think it’s a good deal, but I know that there are stores that sell stationary for cheaper prices then what is online.
I really like your opening as a great attention getter because it relates to many college students like me. I see the advertisements a lot of time in Facebook, but I knew most of them are pretty sketchy. When I clicked on your advertisement, it is funny how the original price and the sale price are exactly the same. I understand the word sale, # percent off, limited offer, and free shipping are very eye catching. However when we calculate the cost, sometimes the deal have some catches. For me, sometimes I research the sale or website before I buy anything to make sure the advertisements are true.
