Meanings
-
(uncountable) A sales and marketing practice whereby the seller shows two prices, a normal price and a lower special discounted price, in order to attract customers by the apparent saving, but where the "normal" price is in fact a fiction, the goods having never actually been sold and/or offered at that price.
Comparison, or two-price, advertising is used when advertisers compare their current prices to previous or future prices.
