SALT LAKE CIT- Y- A recent decision by the National Advertising Division (NAD) of the Council of Better Business Bureaus (BBB) will change the way one major national jewelry retailer markets its product. Russ Behrmann, Utah Better Business Bureau president asked Utah jewelers to follow suit where needed. Claims made in a national by JC campaign advertising reduced or for Penney Company sale priced jewelry were challenged by a coalition of local BBBs earlier this year. The advertising claims included tactics used regularly by other jewelers doing business in Utah. An example of challenged claims are 20 to 60 percent off fine sale jewelry, regularly $1000, 60 30 to save percent $499.99, on gold jewelry until Dec. 29. After that, order at regular price. "Some Utah jewelers, and national companies operating in Utah are resorting to tactics that unreasonably create a perception of savings," said Behrmann. He also stated it is making it hard for consumers to believe even legitimate price reduction advertising in the industry. If someone wants to know if he or she is getting a deal, dont believe the glossy advertisements, get an appraisal. The NAD decision concluded that, "because the product advertised is one which is not seasonal and varies little from year to year, and because the advertiser could not demonstrate that it offered its fine jewelry items at the non-sal- e prices for a substantial period of time, or achieved substantial sale of those items at the non-sal- e prices." "Its evidence was insufficient to substantiate its express and implied claims that consumers would receive the savings represented in JC Penney advertisements for fine jewelry." Behrmann stated JC Penney willfully submitted to the review, and have pledged to change. They should be commended for their attitude, and for the pledge to change. In its official response JC Penney answered that it is a supporter of industry and that they will as necessary and as soon as feasible. modify the price comparison advertising on fine jewelry. !!
