As per the title, which quotes used frequently in sales materials (print, radio or TV) need to go away.

My thoughts:

"It's our birthday, but we're giving you the presents"

(In Winter)
"The weather is cold, but our prices are hot"

(In Summer)
"The weather is hot, but our prices are cool"

Any more??

Pretty much anything 'witty' like that.
Chris' cool cars, wheel-e cold deals on wheels.

Basically anything a 5 year old, or me, can come up with.

"Buy now and save" Rubbish. If you truly wanted to save, you wouldn't buy it at all.

I don't ask you where you get your money - don't ask us where we get the watches.
Another dark night, another sleepy watchman - ANOTHER DEAL FOR YOU!

"This is the only set of steak knives you'll ever need, so if you call in the next ten minutes we'll send you a second set, free...!" :blink:
