Is Cabot discriminating with its new booklet?
Am I presuming too much to think that the Cabot Circus promotional booklet Immerse yourself has been delivered to everyone's mailbox in the city?
Fashion; Food; Entertainment? Yes, I have tried immersing myself in page after glossy page of this lavish production. Its emotive "come-ons" like chic shades, stunning gems, cool classics etc are all paraded before us by smart young things in its well-posed "shop windows of print". Try as I might, I could find no merchandise targeted at persons of mature age, income and disposition, except perhaps as gifts.
There are certainly no images of folk beyond their 30s. Is this a new concept – Retail Class Discrimination, or merely another example of a missed opportunity?

“Cabot Circus isnt the first place/company to only advertise using young, pretty/handsome, well toned models... It's hardly a new occurrance. I just ignore it now!”

“No not at all. I'ts just that we people of a mature age have more sense to feel the need to buy buy buy ALL the time. Plus the fact, Children and young adults are easily manipulated and brainwashed by thier targeted marketing.
The place offers nothing really, apart from expensive prices, disillusionment with your life, and a hunger for an neverending more: MORE!
You r best of out of it. They only want your money: and they prey on the mostvunrulble of our society- the young, or bored, or with a low self esteem that they feel the need to lavish gifts on themselves about there pointless lives.
WELL DONE FOR WRITING THIS THOUGH. The place stinks.”
