Think before you buy

These last two weeks, I have done the three meal times in different places that provide fast food, and I realize that the market strategy has increased so that people are not aware, and it is incredible how consumerists we get to do, me I am involved in this story since I have been involved in this. My example is with the tickets and promotions that they give in many restaurants, the last one to be implemented at least here in El Salvador (a Latin American country) is the use of code and surveys in the tickets, where online Invoice code that you just received to buy a product, fill out the survey they provide you about the product you just bought, and in the end they give you a code to write it on the invoice. And in exchange for the purchase of two more things and the code give you an extra combo, which in the end you come out double, even if you think you save, is the opposite because having this code already submits you to return to Go to place to exchange it, and started as an idea to improve the service but many people just do not show interest to fill a survey of 100 questions, so they do it at random and make you enter into consumerism.

The market strategy now innovates daily and is widely used in all businesses, if you want to be a thrifty person or invest better money you have to pay more attention and be a little more intelligent to know how to buy. That's called smart consumption, "think before you buy," but in reality smart consumption has to do with scrutinizing our decisions before buying. Always compare quality and price; Being a smart consumer does not mean always buying the cheapest, but analyzing which product or service (in relation to its price) is going to be more useful or to last longer.
