I’ve been asked to rewrite my last blog “Voucher Bandits” without mentioning the studio name so here goes:
I had a bit of a shopping adventure recently and as I ventured into a Gas Fire shop I noticed the sales assistant handing a 250 Euro Portrait Voucher to a customer (as a thank you for buying a gas fire). The customer promptly tore the voucher into pieces saying “once bitten twice shy”.
No harm in selling vouchers for a fraction of their value or giving them away as long as you are up-front with what it may or may not include and what bigger or more portraits will cost, but these “Voucher Bandits” seem to be quite skilled in avoiding those questions and the end result is that the customer arrives home with their portraits feeling that they have been mugged. Which is why I said to the guy in the fire shop “Sir, you are entitled to Vent-your anger”?
