That's very true. Even as a local boy (ahem, man) I could make no sense of what those xxxxx stand for. Let alone a newbie. In my past statement, i did many a times bringing up this subject.
IMHO, mentioning a AD or a shop name in full - does not necessary promote or free advertising. Mentioning both shop name and specific discount given are conflict of interest and is not fair to others.
Lets explore;
a) Mention specific AD's name in a shopping complex / location is ok (Yes/No)
b) Mention clearance sales of particular brand at a certain location with huge discount (no shop name) is ok (Yes/No)
c) When you must mention the shop name, listing of official brand they carry is ok (Yes/No)
d) The official list price of watches of respective brand is ok (Yes/No)
e) Discount rates is sensitive issue and not encouraged to mention in our discussion (Yes/No)
f) Possible discount rates expected in general is ok (without mentioning shop names) (Yes/No)
g) Please add in...........
