So Hollister, you may be the cool clothing destination for teenagers, but you have me, and a bunch of other moms, a bit perturbed.
Teenage girls like to pick out their own clothes, since moms these days have ‘no clue’ when it comes to the latest styles, so the perfect birthday gift for these tween and teenage girls are gift cards to their favorite stores. One of the stores high on a 15 year old girl’s list is, of course, Hollister.
Now I believe Hollister needs to re-think a bit of their marketing. Here’s a conversation between a mom and the Hollister employee at the register.
“I need a $50 gift card.”
“Is this one ok, I’m required to ask? As she flashes this gift card.
Appropriate for a 15 year old?Slight pause, “Are there any other options?”
“No, this is the only option, do you want it?”
Now really, I ask our readers, is the image on the gift card really appropriate for a girl turning 15? My opinion, absolutely not. This kids are bombarded with this crap stuff wherever they turn. So much for innocence!
