However, I'm not sure that we can castigate retailers for trying to target dolls to girls, as marketing is more likely to succeed if it follows popular consumer trends rather than different, albeit perfectly normal, behaviour.Helen Catterallhttp://www.catalogue-deals.co.uknoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-34128264.post-3491765088539212012010-10-12T18:29:45.435+01:002010-10-12T18:29:45.435+01:00I've seen this advert now and everything Caron...I've seen this advert now and everything Caron says about it is true.

If the volume of happiness is sufficient they often will react and supermarkets are generally very sensitve to the moods of their consumers.<br /><br />I would however say two things. When are boycotting them we need to let them know that because only then will correctly identify what it is about their behaviour that we find unacceptable. Secondly, you need to boycott the company - not one outlet, one department or one product range but the whole company because otherwise you will not have a noticable effect on the bottom line.Neil Mnoreply@blogger.com
