For anyone not knowing this is a furniture shop.
There adverts on the radio push ' affordable furniture'
What do they class as affordable as I have been in their showroom. I do not think coffee tables in excess of 500 euros or beds up to and over 1000 euros as affordable. Pepper Pots for 40 euros !!! etc etc.
Ikea, now that IS affordable.
Change your ads Bo Concept because it winds me up.

I remember when living in Las Americas that Felipe's supermarket on the sign above their shop said it was the cheapest supermarket...and it isn't!!! How are they allowed to do this? Isn't it classed as false advertising?

Blimey Karl, if every advertiser in Tenerife told the truth about their products, they'd all go out of business and we'd all slash our wrists with depression. Let look at what they might say...
"Come to Plaza Del Duque shopping centre. Here you'll find the usual hotel-lobby-style glossy displays with last-season's designer goods at hyper-inflated prices. Come and be seduced by the endless sea of identikit glass shopfronts and fancy spotlights making everything look somewhat more attractive than it ever will when you get it home."
"Bloggs Furniture are pleased to announce their end of week sale. Following the success of last week's sale, we are holding another sale to clear stock in time for next week's sale. OK, so residents might realise that we are permanently on sale, but some of you more gullible recent arrivals won't know the difference. In the meantime, we'll wheel out all the substandard crap that we haven't been able to sell for 2 years, mark it up to 3x the recommended retail price and then put a line through it offering 50% discount. Don't focus on the craziness of the original price, just bask in the glow of knowing that its 50% OFF. That's massive !! Grab it now, otherwise we'll be forced to stick it back in next week's sale for the next gullible punter."
"Looking for a place to get fleeced after the daily grind? Come to Humpy's bar. The pretentious decor and glasses crammed full with ice make Humpy's bar the best place to separate you from your hard-earned cash. Why not enjoy one of our watered-down cocktails at twice the price you can get a proper measured drink in the Spanish bar down the road?"

That really made me chuckle do you make adverts for a living, if not you have definitely missed your calling

I thought Bo Concept was some New Age therapy or philosophy that I hadn't heard about!
I could imagine seeing it on a list like this:
Reflexology, chakric work, crystal healing, aromatherapy, meditation, Pilates, Reiki, Tai chi, Bo concept, tantric visualisation and past life regression by qualified practitioners.
