Don't buy there. It's too expensive!

Click on image to enlarge it!
I found this shoe shop called "Los guerrilleros" (maybe it would be in english "The little warriors" LOL) near Chueca district. And you can read in the neon light: "Don't buy here, it's very expensive" I think it's something you don't expect to read in an ad, but the truth is that this shop isn't expensive at all... so it's a game to catch your attention, and they do it well, don't you think?

Encontré esta zapatería llamada "Los Guerrilleros" cerca del barrio de Chueca. Y en el cartel se puede leer algo que no esperas encontrar en la entrada de una tienda "No compre aquí, vendemos muy caro". El caso es que no es una tienda nada cara, simplemente es un juego llamativo para captar tu atención. Y creo que lo hacen muy bien ¿qué opinaís?

I love their name - little warriors! There's a few baseball players from South America who play in the United States with similar names - a very famous one is Vladimir Guerrero.

Absolutely amazing!!!
No compre aqui, vendemos muy caro!
Would that make the 'in' people want to buy there, just to show off their very expensive stuff ?

Interesting marketing tactic indeed...

Ha, interesting ! But, seems like it works. If I would see a sign like that, I would definetley digg in to see the "high" prices...

What a fun name for a shop.
The little warriors in Adelaide also send you best wishes for a relaxing, happy weekend too.

I have never seen such an advertizing!

It's absolutely clever, I think! It catch the eye immediately. I've never seen something like this before.

It's new to me too, but oh-so-clever...I would definitely check out their claim ;-)
What do they sell, by the way?

That's one of the cleverest of marketing techniques!

That's bold! Very original advertisement. Do they sell nice shoes there?

I hope the negative advertising doesn't have a reverse effect. Rather funny though.

What a smart gimmick! I'm sure people smile when they read that.

hahaha, you're welcome Gil ;)

Monica, I think they're quite normal shoes... and the prices are pretty good!

Vladimir Guerrero? Never heard about him, but it's a cool name!

I'd go in just to check out the prices...clever marketing.

A very clever idea, sure there are good prices. The expensive ones do exactly the contrary.

For sure they're having success. This shoe shop chain and its slogan have existed at least for 30 years.
