One thing explained...
I think I can take a guess at the reasoning behind one of the complaints of Senor Dabbs. You buy a ton of electronic bits and just a single kids toy, and then get bombarded with ads for kids toys? The reasoning there is simple, Kids Toys have a HUGE Markup. I.e. they are massively more profitable then selling you some electronics bibs and bobs. So even though they probably would have more chance of selling you electronics, the profit they make on selling just one more kids toy would probably be worth more than if they sold you a dozen electronic items.
Whilst I was at School I worked part time in retail, and the mark-up on some items was truly staggering, whilst on others it was minimal. Guess which ones received better visibility?
