Ideally, the strategy was meant to revamp JCPenney’s image and appeal to young people. In reality, it alienated long-time customers, while failing to draw in new ones. …

Sounds like the strategy of the Republican Party.

I buy a lot online. Penney’s just didn’t offer value. First of all, their shipping is always high. And usually a company will offer some kind of shipping break but they never did. Yes, sometimes you lose money that way but it builds brand loyalty.

I would have a $10 free off $10 coupon and because of the shipping could find nothing really of value, that I would buy. Now I’ve noticed they made no mention in the article about all the gay advertising they did, the “two dads” for father’s day etc - I noticed and turned off Penney’s. I really resent when a business starts shoving their agenda in my face.

I went to a JC Penny store about 2 weeks ago. First time in several years.

They had shrunk the store, but attitude seemed pretty good.

I plan on going back tomorrow, I have a doctors appointment in Abilene, where the nearest store is.

Hey JCPenney, maybe if you do a really nice summer fashion spread with ALL Queer fashions, your business will pick up.

Just like others, JCPenney decided to cater to 2% of the entire population, while alienating longtime customers.

I hope the faggots and carpet munchers you love so much help you out of your hole!

Fair enough, let’s take a look in a year and see if they’re really changed. JCP was “THE” department store for smaller communities for decades, pre-Walmart and big box competitors. It shouldn’t be rocket science to offer what people want and not piss them off too badly in the process of taking their money. You’d have to work hard to screw up in a business like theirs but it sounds like they managed to do it.

Everyone makes mistakes. I am willing to give another chance to someone who admits their faults. I haven’t been to JCP in years, but I will take a stroll through their nearby store, in the near future, and see if they are sincere. Thank you.

They lost me long time ago, many years ago they had a back to school tv ad. “Teen girl going to school, Mom hollers You ain’t going to school like that are you? A lot of quick shots of all the fashions available at the store, then a new shot of the teen girl with low cut jeans and bare midriff, Mom says there that’s better”.

RIP JC Penny. You committed PC suicide. And no one is going to your funeral.

Proves you can hit them in the pocketbook.

Free Market REIGNS!!!!

I will continue to boycott as I don’t think they’re being genuine—they want ON the fag bandwagon. Keep an eye on them.

Nope, not spending any money at J.C. Penneys. They can claim their loss of business was due to silly coupons when most people who saw those 2 dads in the ad for Father's day; said that was it- to see Penneys pushing a special agenda. All of the years, their shoppers who made them what they were and in turn, they disrespected those very loyal customers. Says it all. With Soros in the company as well, I will not be shopping there, ever. If we want things to go on as usual, shop there but we must not complain that our society is becoming less respective to traditional families. We have the power with our wallets to continue sending messages of distrust. They don't even address the very issue that most were offended by.

If they put some money to support pro-traditional marriage groups to help undo some of the damage they’ve done, I’d consider going back.

But it’s complicated now that Soros is involved. Don’t want to support him. So I guess I’m in the let it fail camp too.

That Business Insider piece doesn't say anything about the "two dads" ad, but Freepers obviously noticed it.

Liberals think they are being thrillingly avant garde when they are just being tiresome, repeating the same old PC drivel. "Gay is better than straight!!!" No it isn't, and screw you.

The 15%, 20%, 30% off coupons works for Kohls. Adding a lesbian as a promoter won’t help either. Yes JCP’s top executives miss fired.
