Have you ever been lied to by someone you thought you trusted? Has someone ever told you an empty promise? It’s awful right? Would you want to do that to your customers or your potential customers? In order to effectively advertise or convey your idea, you must state that idea exactly. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Conveying your point in an honorable matter is important and highly respectable. Another advantage to not using the Bait and Switch is that you give a trusting environment for your customers. The Bait and Switch is historically known for giving misleading information. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

For an example of a Bait and Switch, if my website were to say click here<\/a> to find out more about chocolate chip cookies, you would expect to find out more about chocolate chip cookies. Instead of finding out more about chocolate chip cookies, you are taken to a website about the score of the Super Bowl! The Bait and Switch is misleading and extremely unhelpful for customers. It makes customers frustrated. It is harder to get a new customer than to keep a current one. Once you have dosed the customer with a lie, they are unlikely to trust the rest of your website. Before you know it, you have lost your customer, and potentially others, if they tell their friends. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

As website creators we should never Bait and Switch because it provides distrust for the customers and anyone on the website. Providing distrust in customers is the last thing a company should do, because you want your customers to trust you. Whenever you have a customer, you want to engage them for the right reasons, not reasons that do not apply to their search. If you are the customer, you are there for a reason, and that is to satisfy your need\/desire. You want your website to be click-worthy, not click-baity. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
