Have you ever wondered what happens when they understand you are trying to fool them with fake sales and offers? The answer is they remember it!
Customers are positive on trusting you when you advertise your big sales and want to try new things. When someone takes advantage of their trust they really get annoyed. According to psychologists, people usually forget actions or words being told but what they never forget is the feeling they felt by an inconvenient or bad situation.

Do not use false reference pricing and fake discounts.
