Their ads featured same-sex couples. I remember my mom sharing how her jcp had a huge billboard in store of a lady in her undies. No way could anyone NOT see it. <br /><br />And jcp does have clearance sales. If you have a store card you can earn reward points. I got a $10 one.

In one case I needed jeans and found a great-fitting pair there. I knew they weren't going to go on sale, so I bought them in two colors on the spot.<br /><br />In another case, I liked a dress but didn't need it. My first thought was, I'll buy this when it goes on sale.

In my own life, there have been times when I truly didn't intend to offend someone, but the offense was still there. In a situation like that, it's so important to address the issue, apologize for the offense, and move on.

Not genuine, and it's skirting responsibility. It's not really saying I did anything wrong. <br /><br />"I'm sorry I offended you." Taking out that one little word "if" makes all the difference in the world. <br /><br />I prefer to be around people who can admit their mistakes and make a genuine Suzie Johnsonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06296203324088418271noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7502152359497137754.post-30225730941697089272013-05-03T08:54:24.717-04:002013-05-03T08:54:24.717-04:00I'm actually very familiar with the change, so...I'm actually very familiar with the change, so the first commercial worked fine for me, but I definitely get your point too. I think they should have addressed the actual issue.<br /><br />Basically, they stopped having sales. You know how places like Kohl's and Macy's have high prices but half the stuff is always on "sale." JCP stopped doing that.

JCPenney seemed to think their name was old and boring so they went with JCP. <br /><br />now... no name recognition instead? <br /><br />I think they changed something with their ads and promotion and how they wanted people to perceive them and it backfired.<br /><br />but... like you said. WHO KNOWS?<br /><br />seriously! the Dominoes ads worked. It was a true apology. Like peopleDebra E. Marvinhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17853387871623424853noreply@blogger.com
