Talk to your mind and apply your logic and reason in this kind of slick marketing tactics. You may fall in their sales pitch like “Last Day Sale, Save 70% off”. “Closing Sale, Save up up to 80%”. Make sure to check if it is real 70% or 80% off or they are just using the term to get your attention. It is important to have prior knowledge of the piano prices, so you can make comparison.
  • Pressure. Be aware of the atmosphere. They can set the atmosphere into a buying frenzy mood. They can set for mass appointments to create this kind of atmosphere. The atmosphere is set in urgency and give you the feeling that you have to grab the piano today or you will never get a deal like this again. They can immediately know if you are a buyer or just a shopper. Shoppers are dismissed right away and give you an idea that this sales event is not for you but for the buyers only. They give pressure on you to decide right away or they will not spend more time with you. If you feel the pressure, it is wise to brush it off and wisely decide on another place of purchase.

The Seller. In this kind of sales event, the seller may professed to be a concert pianist, a music teacher, a piano tuner and many other claims. They will give you the message that he knows everything about the piano. Whoever they claimed they are, it is still best to know who are your seller. Do not trust a person without checking their background.
