That's for people who don't read the fine print on the "NEW and IMPROVED"
stickers, and don't see the entire "NEW packaging and IMPROVED profits
for us" message.  :-)

My father-in-law learned the same thing many years ago.  He had been
doing heating and air conditioning maintenance and installation in
northern Westchester County for years.  When he tried to expand to
southern Westchester, he couldn't get any jobs.  Eventually, he
found out that his bids were too low.  He was charging northern
county prices in the more expensive southern county areas, and
everyone thought that with such low bids he couldn't be any good.
