Sexton New Lakeside Club Manager WASHINGTON AND SMALL BUSINESS’ A most hotly debated mer chandising issue of the times Is the spread of trading stamps. * * * While one huge advertising agency through surveys tries to establish that trading stamps care vital to operation of M store, leas biased • * studies of situ ation point to the contrary, * * • A University of Michigan; survey finds stamps are not; important 1 attracting newl customers. A University of Richmond study found that 90% of shoppers report they would not stop dealing with a store if it stopped giving trading stamps. * * * Use of trading stamps goes back before turn of century. Historically, their popularity has risen and fallen periodically. A few years ago nation broke oat Into rash of trading stamps. *00 It seems apparent that first stores to adopt trading stamps did benefit, at least superficially. • * * But now, with practically all competitors In some areas giv ing trading. stamps, advantage held by any one stamp giving store appears to have been can celled out. . a. e ■ a . - • In addition, serious disadvan tages are making themselves felt. One is cost of a stamp pro gram. If stores pass on this cost to their customers, their prices are no longer competitive. • • * On other hand, if stores absorb costs, It cuts deeply Into already narrow profit margins. • « • Some merchants have tried compensating fbr this loss by reducing their legitlmaje ad vertising, and have found their trade actually falls off. g) Natlocil rxWitlon of IiKlyptiKhnt Bmln—» By C WILSON HA1 L f K This Is not surprising, because big advertising manufacturers have long known this fact about premiums, of which stamps are a type. That fad is this. No matter how good a premium is offered, the manufacturer must spend as much money advertis ing the premium as is spent ad vertising the merchandise. In other words, a premium is only as good as the selling effort put behind It. . • • * - Consumers are also apparently becoming aware of situation as one university survey found 14% of those who once saved stamps have lost interest and quit. * * • When U. 8. Supreme Court ruled states have a right to out law stamps plans, It called them “An appeal to stupidity.** Few states have ever passed laws out lawing them. At present time Federal Trade Commission is reputed making study of matter on the usual FTC operative plan of too little, too late. • * * There seems substantial evi dence great national stamp rash is passing as fads usually do. But long ago FTC should have com pleted thorough study of situ ation. In fact, FTC should also em ploy its talents attacking a basic reason for the spread of trading stamp plans. That has been the FTC failure to enforce anti-trust laws which prohibit a favored few from getting special dis counts, phony advertising allow ances which permit them to en gage in ruinous price competi tion. Had FTC been on the Job in this respect in the first place It is doubtful stamp plans would have ever sprung up. After all, why should any merchant pay full value for stamps regardless of whether or not they are ever redeemed, giving vast profits to stamp plan promoters, except in « desperate attempt to combat unfair practices used against him? today announced that Ross Tem pleton and Robert L- Wylie, Jr., both of Crarlotte, will serve as general co-chairmen of this drive which will, include Charlotte aha 19 surrounding towns.
