Just ask Macy’s and JCP how that worked out.

JCPenny’s found out that marketing tack is a loser.

Mmmm....maybe ‘going pervert’ isn’t such a good business model after all.

They went full pervert.

Never go full pervert.

Target will have plenty of empty dressing rooms for the men who think they are women. They will never admit that they committed suicide with that stupid move.

Looking at the latest numbers that price appears to be about 10 percent. That’s on the year.

Target is just a woman’s store

There are others to go to

We’ll see how this compares to other retailers. Walmart’s Q2 comes out tomorrow.

“......The discounter’s second-quarter net income fell nearly 10%, though that was better than what most had expected. Sales at stores open at least a year fell 1.1%, reversing seven straight quarters of gains. Target shares were down more than 6% in mid-morning trading Wednesday....”

________________________________________________________

If you had just 5% of customers walking away ever since Target decided to go full retard for transgenders, there is lies a big factor. I personally think it is higher than that.

Target was having issues with grocery sales even before the transgender bathroom dust-up. For some reason they can’t keep their shelves stocked properly. Why go grocery shopping at Target if I am going to have to go to another store to get everything on my list? Grocery shopping is a pain in the @$$ as it is. Having to go to two stores just doubles it.

Looks like they overestimated the size of the pervert/deviant market.

The only ones the market is ‘difficult’ for are the one with an idiot CEO who makes stupid political stances and tells customers she does not care what they think of it.

She should be fired immediately. She’s only cost target stockholders a billion dollars.

1. Target primarily marketed to women.

2. They invited male predators into the women’s restrooms.

3. Business declined.

If you have an Ivy League MBA, you are smart enough to know that there is no connection between 2 and 3.
