Hyperbole

Cliche

Little white lies

Pricing techniques

Where would we be without it? Do you completely believe every ad you see or read?

If you want completely honest marketing, try the following:

Buy this vacuum cleaner, it sucks ......................................for awhile.

Our insurance policy will support our agents’ families. You get what’s left over.

Redistribute wealth, hire an attorney.

Vote for me, why not?

Follow me on Twitter, what the hell for?

And before Peter chimes in, the physician whose ad follows:

All my patients die ....................................sooner or later.

Oh yeah? When's the last time you saw anything other than a sports card described as having "elite centering"?
