With all the attention why not try and turn the message into a positive one (highlight what you do and why it's better). A positive message would give people who don't know you a reason to check you out and your existing customers

My wife spent a stupid amount of time researching everything and then finding the absolute best price (which is like saying you are a savvy lamborghini consumer). So as new parents, I doubt we'd consider it (tho my wife did do a trial
