You know a company is hurting when, on the inside of one of its print adverts, an executive for the company is essentially begging for your business.
In a half-page segment printed to look like a lovely letter sent just to you from Circuit City Stores, Inc.’s Vice Chairman, Jim Marcum, the company admits that it “lost sight of what is important – you, our customers,” and promises a “much better store experience” and that you “can continue to shop with confidence.” It also goes on to promise that “[r]eturns and exchanges will be done quickly and easily and gift cards and Circuit-City-branded credit cards will be honored at more than 500 locations nationwide.” You can check out the full letter in the Photo Gallery.
