Target boycott sees company hemorrhaging customers and profits

[Stone]

No. Personally, I'll be fine.

Kind of worried about the LGBTQ's, though. There is a large group that wants to send them back to the dark ages, after all of the progress they've made.

And I'm pro-jobs, so I hate seeing hard-working Americans lose theirs.

How long exactly have you been a trannie? Inquiring minds want to know.

 

[Earl]

Is that 1st line above "loving the sinner?"

And none of those other boycotts were "just fine w/ me." I have always spoken out against boycotts. I generally do not like them.

Yes, love the sinner, hate the sin.

We are not obligated to remain silent when perversion is forced on children.

The boycotts by the far left have been supported by the overwhelming majority of leftists.

Conservatives are using the same tool that the left used and now Conservatives are winning.

 

[Bigdog]

I'm not making anything up. You're trying to tailor the term to what you want it to mean.

Canceling is canceling - whether isn't an individual, business or organization.

You ARE making shit up, Belite.

It's called "Cancel Culture" not "boycotts".


Cancel culture is personal attacks on individual people, with maybe a sprinkling of small mom and pop shops.

Target first started marketing kids clothing with rainbows way back in 2016.

Not sure why Fox News is jumping on this now!

What's next retards- SKITTLES?

 

[Hawkeye10]

Which is why they need to be punished for YEARS,...not weeks or months. They cant be trusted. We must hold their feet to the fire and keep them there. Any other way would be unwise.

Must stop pretending that they are sorry, and will stop.

 

[PostmodernProphet]

Why? Do you think we are monkeys are something? HMMMMM!

no.....if a million monkeys were set typing something they say one would get something right........you not so much......

Let me know when the TRUTH hurts!

Oh, never mind, YOU JUST DID!

 

[QP!]

I love it.

I find it hilarious to expose what hypocritical snowflakes and cancel culture zealots the right males are.

YOu can have 100 tv commercials full of beer drinking heterosexual sex play with giant boobed naked women and average men, and its all good. Nothing to see here. You have one commercial that shows a trans person and 'OMG why are kids watching beer commercials being exposed to sexuality... WHAT ABOUT THE CHILDREN..."


There is no group, more so than the conservative male who is a hypocrite. liar, and snowflake. THey are pathetic and weak and need to scream for protection from everything they don't want to see.

It is hillarious.

Have you noticed that the Pharmaceutical Industry has been running 100's of ads on Fox News and all of the News Media here of late, using Mixed-Race couples, minorities, and Gay people kissing, and etc.?

It is certainly not because they have turned WOKE, or Gay Friendly!

Everybody knows that the Democrats have been at battle with the Pharmaceutical Industry and the Republicans for years to lower the price for Prescription drugs sold here in America that are being sold in foreign countries for 1/10 the cost by the same manufacturers.

No Sir! It has an ulterior motive behind the ads, to intentionally fire up the emotions, fears, and hatred of Racists and Bigots for political posturing by the RIGHT-WING!

And, OH BOY, is it working! Just another way to exploit minorities and the LGTBQ!

I do not know who they think they are fooling with these games!

But, someone needs to speak up about it- AND I JUST DID!

Nope.

Boycotts are just another way to cancel. It's the exact same thing.

The Bud Light and Target boycotts ARE cancel culture. Actually, they're a more extreme version of it.

 

[Poor Richard Saunders]

In less than two weeks, the backlash against Target for in-your-face gay pride nonsense in their stores has cost them $15 billion in sales, seen their stock value plummet, and they are now being downrated by JP Morgan for credit worthiness. So, to appease maybe 1 customer in 100, Target lost the other 99 to the boycott.

It's been two weeks and Target is plummeting towards bankruptcy.
.

I have to admit your claims are making me laugh.
1. Target has about 8 billion gross in sales per month. They haven't lost 15 billion in sales in the last 2 months let alone the last 2 weeks.
2. You don't seem to understand the difference between gross income and market capitalization.
3. If Target had lost 99% of its customers, we would know it. They haven't. At most they have a 10% reduction and we won't know until they announce same store sales in July or August.
4. No retailer the size of Target goes out of business or declares bankruptcy over 2 weeks of declining sales. Bed Bath and Beyond took years. Sears took years.

It looks like you are trying to turn your posts into another conservative epic self own as you show us you can't do business or math.

 

[T. A. Gardner]

Nope.

There's a big difference between cancel culture and boycotting. Cancel culture is active, boycotting is passive.

In cancel culture it isn't sufficient to just not patronize a business. Instead, with cancel culture participants actively seek ways to attack and destroy the object of their outrage. Boycotting is the simple act of not patronizing a business or activity because you disagree with them.

So, in a cancel culture, you see things like a bakery not wanting to make gay wedding cakes attacked and sued out of business. J K Rowling, among other artists and authors, saw the same thing. It wasn't enough for those offended by her comments to simply not buy her books, they actively sought to get her removed from all social media, get her publisher(s) to drop her as a client, have her books legally banned from sales, etc. That's cancel cultue.

A boycott is the simple act of not patronizing a business, service, or activity. I disagree with your position, so I won't patronize your business. It doesn't involve actively seeking to keep others from patronizing that business by force if necessary. It doesn't involve active attacks on that business online or off like cancel culture does.

That's some nuanced & creative spin right there.

Kudos.

Nor do you. That's apparent and clear.

exaggerated statements or claims not meant to be taken literally:

My statement was meant to show the problem by exaggeration. If 1 to say 5% of Target's customers that support their gay whatever, while the other 95 to 99% to some degree or another don't, does it make sense for Target to make gay oriented products an in-your-face thing? I'd say no. After all, for every customer that approves, you are losing 1 or more customers that don't approve.

4. No retailer the size of Target goes out of business or declares bankruptcy over 2 weeks of declining sales. Bed Bath and Beyond took years. Sears took years.

I doubt the management of Target wants to go out of business at all. It certainly doesn't help the company to hemorrhage customers over choosing a product line those customers clearly disapprove of in far larger numbers than customers that are being attracted to their stores because of it. That is, if you lose say 10% of your current customers and less than 1% new customers come because of this product line, you are doing things wrong.

It looks like you are trying to turn your posts into another conservative epic self own as you show us you can't do business or math.

And, you are still an idiot who can't grasp even the simplest concepts of thought experiments or complex use of language...

Clearly you didn't read the stories put out by the major news outlets.
The first story talks about drop in market cap. It says nothing about sales.

The second story talks about loss of income in the first quarter of 2022 which ended in March of 2022. Did you not know that it's now 2023?
No news outlet has said that Target has seen a $15 billion drop in sales since the boycott. Your idiocy is showing.

Nor do you. That's apparent and clear.

I know the difference. I can also tell what year it is.

So your attempt to defend your hyperbole is to just use more hyperbole? Was your failure to read the news articles also hyperbole? Or was it just stupidity?

We won't know if they have lost sales until they put out their numbers.

Is that what you are calling confusing 2022 with 2023? A thought experiment?

 

[BartenderElite]

Cancel culture is all about intent.

A boycott sometimes seeks to just change behaviors - like getting tuna companies to use dolphin-free nets.

But you can see it on this board, and everywhere - conservatives want Bud Light out of business. They want Target out of business. They want to cancel these companies. That is the intent.

Yup, all due to Trump Tuckers.

Do you really think Buddweiser and Target deserve all this hate and bigotry, Terry? Honest answer, please.

Bigotry? Hate, maybe. But that (hate) was self-inflicted by the companies. Sort of a take off on Sun Tzu-- Know your customer base, and know your company, and you'll make profits every month.

Target and Budweiser both forgot that and let radical Leftist Progressive DIE officers and marketers take those companies on a hard left turn that the customer base cringed, then fled from.
