‘Buy now Pay later’ ……..


Very impressive piece of advertising, I was thinking about these words until I reach to my destination of life (current) from the minute I saw this very attractive four words sentence. 

Ada mudalata heta nayata’  …… this is what I have heard before when it comes to ‘shopping at retail shops/groceries’. 

Baalagiri dose ada nowe heta’ that reveals something different to the above statement but has some sense if you think of ‘paying back’ the credit or the loans of your daily needs let’s assume etc.

I saw this little wording somewhere between Rajagiriya and Pitakotte. (The title)

My goodness ‘wonders of advertising’ I thought the very moment I saw this. Is it that easy to buy things you like and pay later? Wonderful isn’t it? Actually I am just thinking about the wording nothing else. I have no idea what is behind this advertisement and what they really meant.  But this four words sentence took my mind here to there and again I came back to my previous position of thoughts. 

Why is it the particular product not so demandable and why can’t pay at that right moment of ‘purchasing’ things?  Is that because the thing that we trying to buy comes under ‘not good quality’ category or is it the opposite ‘they are sure about the lasting period of the product’?
These things you can assume just looking at these words ‘amazing’ I believe. You can assume more and more of similar ideas I believe.

Is this something similar to ‘credit card’ system or let’s say some credit system. Never mind I m not interested in knowing all these things because I don’t think that I need anything right now due to my lack of economic confidence.

On the way I saw one of friends was waiting for me at ‘Chandrika Super Grocery’ (I was planning to meet one of my friends there) . She was there with an angry face because I was late. (Sorry!) That is a good meeting place I guess you can talk while doing shopping with your friends.  NO! Actually they offer no such facility don’t go there thinking of buying something on credit and paying later. No way :)

Some need nothing really but love to be here and there or at shopping malls and yes if they find something interesting or something amusing they may buy later and go back home with a smile. 

How about those ‘taxies’ do they offer such facility. ‘GO NOW PAY LATER’ that is what you do generally right? If you know where you are heading to I mean the exactly place of your stop you can pay earlier but if you are not sure about how far that you will have to travel then you really can not pay earlier. Then you need to follow this ‘go now pay later’ procedure. I am asking the ladies actually because I noticed it is women who use such facilities than men. Not agree! Alright please forgive. Interesting research topic I thought.

It is always wiser to travel knowing the exact place you want to reach to. Because in the system that I use (I travel by bus) I have to pay before reach to my place of pre planned. If not the ‘tikka’s we use to call them ‘tikko’ (please forgive me for using that word here) the CTB officers who come to inspect you of your bus ticket? I don’t know how much they charge now as ‘fine’.

Sometimes if you buy something now thinking of paying later I wonder how much you need to suffer if you have not bought the right thing, a quality one, then I believe you are already paid something before hand for selecting the product of your choice. 

Last year we bought a TV from a ‘Sale shop’ we had to take it back to the same place within few days of time. ‘Sale shops’ gives same hazards sometimes. 

Selecting a good quality product is thousand times difficult than producing a best quality product, finally I like to decide that way.

Buy one and get one free’ that is the other myth. Generally most of these places offer something that we really don’t necessary for free.  Or is it ‘buy two get one free’? What ever I can’t be bothered now thinking about that ways of advertising. 

‘There are ways of handling these business stuff they are for sure very,very useful for most of their customers and that meet their needs.

If you buy a Land some may offer you a sofa settee for ‘free’.  Intelligent offer NO? Rarely some may offer you a vehicle better no if you are planning to buy and build your house in  a land in a remote area?  

People try this and that when it comes to business in the field of retail market/business.  They offer you different things.  ‘Customers need to be very aware of their true needs here without going in to accepting the every offer in a ‘foolish way’. If you take too long to think you may miss the offer. But I believe that is alright. You may for sure get another chance let’s say in the next seasons to come.  Take time and select, if possible better discuss with your family members before purchasing something or consult your partner.

We live in a very colourful ‘advertising world’ that is my personal judgment about certain things and about many things of this ‘buying and selling ‘world. What more can you think of other things?
If you think of food ‘security’ you need to see the label before buying something. There is always an expiry’ date is marked on various food packets or containers. So don’t go just for the wording ‘buy now pay later’. How can you expect tyrants to provide you food ‘security’ no way? They might add poisons what else. That is why it is so advisable to check the label before hand. Is it that important NO! (Thought later) why because we never go and buy things from our tyrants NO? I mean our food stuff etc. so better forget that. Some things are hot and spicy and I don’t think that we need to care about such things I heard some one was saying that ‘it is good to eat hot and spicy things because that cleanses all the blocking things of the system.  I don’t know how this tally with my discussion ‘buy now pay later’ Am I going out of this path of discussion?
I know nothing about business or about the fields of advertising this is just a view of an ordinary customer.

I think it is so advisable to buy something not on credit believe me but on having ‘ready with cash’ what do you say?

Safe and intelligent purchasing!
