“It was designed like it was some kind of service announcement from eircom which got me to read it ”

So the whole thing here is “which got me to read it ”

This is their sole intention, whether its mis-leading or not
or right or wrong or not

It got you to read it

Objective complete, enough said
That is marketing

Get the person to read and thats 50% of the battle

I mean, how desperate must a company be, that they have to compare themselves to another telephone company all the time and constantly say things like 'Attention all Eircom customers' and 'much cheaper than Eircom' ?? As ''the amazing'' telephone company that Perlico claim to be, they shouldn't have to constantly bring up Eircom in their ads and instead, just advertise themselves and what they a have on offer instead of looking like the jealous underdog of the bigger telephone company. Have any of you ever seen an advert from Eircom that has even mentioned another telephone company?? No , that's because they don't do it. They don't need to advertise their company in that sort of way. It really makes perlico look bad when they do this and the misleading prices as well really don't help. I was with Perlico because they promised me broadband and Eircom at the time couldn't so I was pulled into a 12 month contract for my calls and Broadband and never once did my broadband work, even though I was paying for it for three months!!

Likely that our distributors have just completed delivery. As I noted in my original response we certainly didn't want to cause confusion and have amended our marketing accordingly. Good morning,
