Meaningful Beauty
Deceptive Advetising and Marketing

This is actually the criticism I submitted using the Federal Trade Commission today:

Significant Beauty: With Cindy Crawford

I considered the product (Significant Beauty by Cindy Crawford) on Television. I had been likely to buy it for my spouse. After I named to-order - all my own info was obtained, then I had been informed this is just a 'club'- a membership program, which I'd obtain item each month. I stated (four-times) that I don't wish to 'subscribe'- I just need the publicized item - in the advertised price. Every time I had been informed that I really could not buy the product in the cost marketed (29.95) with no 'membership' or membership.

I expected to consult with a boss. I also informed him that I needed to buy the publicized item, with no membership - I had been informed I really could not. This continued for some 'models' additionally - while I advised 'Joe' that used to do not need the merchandise, after which put up. Recall: this really is after I'd provided all my own info - including my charge card - when I was result in think we'd a to get a merchandise, along with a cost.

I should think that this really is deceptive marketing and advertising. Nothing within the tv advertisement claims that to buy the product - one should join a membership or have to take a membership. This really is also a 'first' period for me personally to think that I had been buying a product, in a collection cost - to possess provided all my info, after which to become informed that 'I had been accepting to some membership service'- anything I'd not need completed.

Please help quit this misleading advertising.

Thanks
