| Staff： | Boss, do we have any promotional strategy coming up? | |
| Boss： | Yes. A front-cover ad will be released tomorrow. People will surely snap it up for such a great bargain. | |
| Staff： | But we’ve only got 10 items. It will not be enough. Why don’t we state the quantity clearly? | |
| Boss： | Don’t bother! It’s just a gimmick! | |
| Super： | The next day… | |
| Dad and Other Customers： | I want this coffee machine. | |
| Boss： | The one with special discount is all sold out. | |
| Dad： | The ads was just released yesterday. It’s sold out today? It says the promotion lasts 2 weeks! | |
| Smart Eye： | Tips from Smart Eye! Traders should evaluate their ability to supply the product when they are advertising it.
