In my ups an downs I window shopped at tuskys supermarket in Kakamega and realized oh my God! Christmas is here again and everybody is giving offers,discounts and vouchers all in the name of Christmas.
one thing is for sure,marketers and advertises are doing what they do best convincing you to buy what you dint want to buy.Personally I don't have a problem with them doing their job after all they keep the industry rolling! but i must admit that one digital pay station are duping customers.look at the article below courtesy of CIO EAST AFRICA
Star Times media slashes decoder pricing by 33% in Christmas offer
Star Times Media, a digital Pay Television company has today announced a
significant drop in the price of its DVB T2 approved digital decoders
that will see the company sell the decoders at just Ksh 1,999 up from
Ksh 2,999 reflecting a 33% discount for Kenyans aimed at giving them a
Christmas offer that will run from 1st of November to the 31st of
December. The decoders which will have a 1 year warranty will be
available at all Star Times outlets across Kenya.
From the above information nothing seems fishy but my investigation revealed a calculative move by the company to reap maximum from unsuspecting buyers.here is the truth:
an offer has a period and once over you pay as usual
The company only wants to entice people to buy the decoder then increase the price of subscription
The current decoders are not durable and may not last long without having issues.
The price of the decoder is KSHS 1999/- but what you are not told is that the actual price of the decoder is 2500/- as 500/- is the fee you MUST pay as minimum subscription fee.
So my dear friends as we approach Christmas to celebrate the birth of our Lord Jesus Christ remember to get full information from an offer that seems too good to be true ,be it a mobile phone,TV,radio or holiday offer just remember the devil lies in the details!.
