Did anyone read last Saturdays (10-06-05) Jobs and Money bit of the Guardian?. On the cover page was a Sainsbury's logo, with the heading "Why Sainsbury's car insurance prices are worth checking out - see page 11"
On page 11, we are treated to two further pics of sainsbury's logo's - one of a trolley, and one featuring the "cheeky" little bill, as shown on ads on the telly, telling us how much better their car insurance is. Also, a "helpful" table, showing how Sainsbury's were cheapest in a "Mystery Shop" of other companies.
The article explains how sainsbury's have been "spurred into action" by the success of Tesco's offering. Yet the "helpful" chart doesn't feature a quote from Tesco's.
It also doesn't feature any of the 5 cheaper quotes that www.confused.com will return in less than 5 mins.
So what's going on here? We've got 3 sainsbury's images/logo's, suggesting that they are now competitive. It's almost a page of free advertising, some of the copy of which could almost seem to have come from a press release, suggesting that sainsbury's are now the boys to do business with.
It fails to include a quote from Tesco's - the company that "spurred them on".
Instead of spending 5 mins completing the www.confused.com form, the "mystery shopping" only has time to ring manually round for several more expensive quotes.
In conclusion, this whole article, complete with it's 3 sainsbury's logos, and "Table", which takes up a front page headine, and virtually a page of "editorial", ignores a quote from their direct competitor, and selectively quotes prices from more expensive companies - ignoring the fact that www.confused.com offers quotes over £100 cheaper.
At best, this seems like a badly researched article - at worst, what with the 3 sainbury logo's , it stinks. It almost appears to be an "Advertorial"
Thank heavens for the objectivity of this site - I've written to the writer of the article, and had a half hearted defence - does any body have any suggestions on any further course of action?
Finally, I don't normally get worked up about these things, but had expected something better from the Guardian. I'd love to see what Martin's reaction would be the the whole piece - or is this kind of "puff" just normal?
Seems Sainsbury's are just resellers.
