I don’t like mysteries especially when pricing is involved. To this day I have never understood why businesses continuously publish and advertise items online in hope of capturing potential consumers but are reluctant to publicly display the prices.
Most who are reluctant to publish their prices usually follow up with a number to call or “inbox for price” response. Apart from this being another expense and inconvenience for the customer, it often feels as if the apparent pricing strategy would be kept forever once protocol is followed. In such a digitally-connected world, this is laughable.
For clothing stores in Guyana, I figure the reluctance to share the prices is because they don’t want their competitors to see them, but in reality if you do inbox or call for the price, doesn’t this defeat the whole purpose? It takes only one person to publicly publish it and then it is there forever.
