I wish liquidation companies didn't make their going out of business commercials obnoxiously happy sounding. It just feels inappropriate. I would think, most people going to the sale were already familiar with the store and might be really sad that it's closing/people are losing their jobs. They should make it at least a more neutral/mournful tone interspersed between talking about the discounts. Personally that would compel me more to go. And it's not like those kinds of ads don't work either, think about all the animal shelter/hungry children in foreign country commercials that pull (I'm assuming) large amounts of donations with the more melancholic approach.

Some of them are a little more neutral sounding. The thing is they are telling people that they are getting huge deals because the store is going out of business.

[@b.m.933]

Also, another liquidation sale commercial explicitly said "it is bad for us but good for you". I don't remember which one it was one of the furniture store liquidation sale ads.

[@b.m.933]

@@bjv93 actually it was a Chloe's Furniture liquidation ad and it said "our loss is your gain".

Perfect timing.

My parents told me abt this ad. I wasn’t there when this was happening.

"It's the sale you've been waiting for!"
Liquidators have a real strange idea about what sales people are waiting for, especially going out of business sales. 🤷🏽‍♀️
