Re: > location-based ads remain a disappointment
Cynical about sale offers?
Here in the NT, July 1st is Territory Day, the day we got self government. Despite being in the middle of the dry season when all vegetation is tinder dry, on this day (and only this day) we are allowed to set off fireworks. Vast amounts of very large fireworks.
Retailers are only allowed to sell them on July 1st. One particular retailer near me had a sign up advertising Fireworks - 50% off!
Since he is only allowed to sell them on the one day I am not entirely sure how he can offer 50% off when they have never been sold at any other price. 50% off what? I am assuming he simply doubled the price he sells them at to then offer the 50% discount.
