Target re-launched semi-recently (months ago) it&#8217;s private-label for household goods. &#8220;Up and Up,&#8221; will now replace the company&#8217;s traditional &#8220;Target brand&#8221; brand.

As advertisers try to market products to an increasingly ad-averse consumers, they must get more cretive to reach their target audiences. I&#8217;ve chosen a few &#8220;modern&#8221; annoying advertising strategies that were/are reallllly annoying and/or are leading the way to the end of the world.

		<description><![CDATA[I&#8217;ve been meaning to write this blog for a while, but I&#8217;m a bit behind. What are your thoughts on a company&#8217;s customer service duties should you try a new product that you don&#8217;t like? Should they give you your money back? Or, should they make up for the disappointment in another way? Or, do [...]<img alt="" border="0" src="http://stats.wordpress.com/b.gif?host=pagingreflections.wordpress.com&amp;blog=3593139&amp;post=338&amp;subd=pagingreflections&amp;ref=&amp;feed=1" width="1" height="1" />]]></description>

Perhaps I&#8217;ll post another about the week&#8217;s festivities if you&#8217;re lucky, but this one is about credit cards and the timely topic of creditors and their lending practices.
