Deliberate sales pitch confusion in order to sell Art
There is a deliberate sales approach to lead guests to believing their art is worth more than it is and I saw significant confusion among guests thinking they were looking at original, one of a kind art pieces. They NEVER us the word “print” in a deliberate effort to have people think they are buying originals. One associate told me that they were all originals because it there was an original signature on the piece. I said that it is a print. That is not an original. Then she dictated a very rehearsed speech saying “oh you mean unique not original, if the artist signs it then it’s original. I saw many people looking at enhanced giclee prints, thinking that they were original, one of a kind oil paintings from a famous artist. many prints are not numbered so people were thinking they were originals because they didn’t see numbers. Very intentional confusion. I don’t understand how cruise ships allow this.
