Do you really look at the spokesperson - and decide to shop at a store based upon the spokesperson?
I don’t. I shop by price and style. If a store has a shirt that fits, pants that fit and a price thats reasonable; I buy. i couldn’t care less who’s name is on the door. JCP has nice dress shirts (I’m a big boy) that fit for $25 and dress pants for $45. Similar dress pants at other stores are closer to $75.
JCP, at least in my area has really trimmed down the inventory. It used to be like walking through a yard sale; now it’s neatly laid out. I walk in, easily find my size, style and the price is what matters.
With smartphones, the internet and apps like Redlaser; people can scan a barcode and quickly shop by price. Walmart may be cheaper; but I have found the clothes to be inferior. Stores like Kohls don’t carry my size; JCP simply meets my needs.
Waste of time. Despite all the facts that Ron Johnson killed the company with his black hoke stupid retail model people here think its because of Ellen and they have their agenda. You’ll never convince them.
Hey, it doesn’t matter where they advertise; they have a certain amount of seconds to get into you mind and they do whether you know it or not. PR is here for a reason. You didn’t run into these things or places by mistake.
