How to confuse your potential customers

SimonT · 2009-12-16, 10:04 AM

Browsing around some of the sponsors i've got promoted at the moment and noticed this on one of their join pages.

Clever marketing or just plain crazy?

So the special 30 days is better than the two other 30 days but the more expensive 30 days is better since it costs more. Make perfect sense.

and the bit you can't see from that is that all of the trials rebill at the same price

Looks like a major fuck up to me.

Ok, I'm sold on it! Getting out a CC as we speak to sign up. I'm sure that company is getting huge amounts of customers by now.

I think the days of the "stupid surfer" have passed - at least in the changes that I've heard from talking with consumers that used to be gullible but have paid the price and are now wiser for it. The old "fool me once" seems to apply to most. People research sites, costs, compare values, etc. a lot more now than ever. Bet a lot of people spot this and move on...

Can I ask which sponsor this is?

It looks like a PimpRoll join form, but I can't replicate it. It seems like you'd need to pass multiple join option variables in the URL to get that messed-up form.

Sure, it's PerSignup

However, just tried this in a different browser and it's displaying correctly so looks like their page doesn't work with Chrome

Mike-mijen · 2009-12-17, 05:42 PM

Look's fine in firefox

cLin · 2009-12-17, 09:06 PM

Quoted for truth.

I've seen everything from web hosts to porn sites screw up one of their billing page text.
