The company know that their product is bad for people and that people try to avoid it, yet Cinnabon use manipulative tactics to wear their customers down:
> “Let’s face it, people really want to avoid us,” Greg Komen once told an audience. “We have to get in your way.”
What if this were a tech company? Facebook got a lot of heat for supporting an experiment where they influenced people’s emotions.
This seems a lot worse because there are negative mental and physical effects. And they can’t even try and justify it with any sort of “connecting the world” style message. It’s purely about making cash.
- Aloha 9y agoThis is marketing - and while it might be brash to say so, people have been doing this for well over 100 years - again, Cinnabon isn't bad for you unless consumed all the time - the same could be said about Facebook. The difference is, facebook is targeted in such a way to encourage constant engagement, and Cinnabon markets itself in such a way as to encourage occasional engagement.
