Phrases in the Zoomies commercial and what they really mean:
- What the commercial said: Zoomies binoculars utilize the same vision magnification technology of expensive high power binoculars and condenses it into microvision lenses
- What some people might think that means: Zoomies are the same as expensive, high power binoculars
- What it really means: The commercial said that Zoomies utilize the same magnification technology as expensive high power binoculars, which is essentially combining lenses for a magnified view. This technology has been around for hundreds of years as is used in $50,000.00 telescopes and $0.10 kids toys found in cereal boxes.
- What the commercial said: You can pay $200 for bulky binoculars or you can get Zoomies at the factory direct price of only $10
- What some people might think that means: The Zoomies binoculars are just as good as a $200 set of binoculars but because I can order them factory-direct, I can get them for only $10
- What it really means: We checked all of the binoculars available at a major sporting goods store in the $200 price range and found them all to have high quality optics, much larger objective (front) lenses, and had magnifications ranging from 5x to 12x. Based on this information, Zoomies are not the same as or just as good as a set of $200 binoculars.
- What the commercial said: order now and we’ll double the offer and send a second complete set free, just pay separate processing and handling. That’s two complete sets of Zoomies binoculars for just $10
- What some people might think that means: I can get get two sets of Zoomies and I only have to pay $10
- What it really means: The key words in this sentence are “processing and handling”. When you buy your first set of Zoomies for $10, you also have to pay $7.95 shipping and handling (total for one Zoomies is $17.95). To get your second, free set of Zoomies you have to pay an additional $7.95 processing and handling fee. The total cost for your two Zoomies for $10 is $25.90 plus any state sales tax. This is the standard “buy one, get one free” trick used by many advertisers and TV commercials and many people consider it to be very deceptive.
Summary:
The Zoomies commercial seems to make us think that by some magic of technology, we can get high-quality binoculars, shrunk down to the size of sunglasses for only $10. Most people would agree that this is simply not the case and might consider this TV commercial to be very deceptive.
Did the Zoomies commercial fool you? Leave a comment below!
Why is S/H so high (7.99) are you kidding me! When I ship this product back its
Less then (5.00) ? WHY
If you visit http://www.highya.com, you will find out: they greatly inflate the S&H/P&H fees to make more money and make the product less likely to be returned (for any reason). This due to Shipping fees being non-refundable and not part of the 100% money back guarentee plus to get your money back, you have to pay to ship the product back. After spending 15.90 on shipping fees and then $4-$5 to ship it back, its not really worth it to get $10. I don’t trust those factory sales sites when buying these products, people often end up buying more then they intended. I wait for the product (like Zoomies) to reach my local store before I buy them. In the case of Zoomies, I purchased a pair and although they are kind of a cheapy product, they do work pretty well.
