Bait and switch is a deceptive marketing tactic where a seller advertises a product or service at an attractive price or offer (the "bait") to attract customers, but upon arrival, the seller substitutes the advertised item with a less desirable or more expensive alternative (the "switch"). This tactic aims to lure customers into the store or transaction with the bait and then pressure or manipulate them into purchasing the substitute product.

What you see isn't always what you get. Bait and Switch highlights deceptive tactics that lure you in with false promises. 🎣🛒 #BaitAndSwitch #Deception #MentalModels
