CONSUMER POWER

With a website like Direct Democracy, the power is back in the hands of the consumer. Earlier consumers were a gullible lot who were easily misled by the companies of their hard earned money by misleading advertising. Thanks to Direct Democracy, all this has changed for better. The era of consumer power has emerged. Direct Democracy has become all pervading in every area of life and everyone who has the access to the website Direct Democracy will not fall into the trap of companies that make big claims about their products being eco-friendly only to rob the consumer of its money. Direct Democracy which is a strong believer of green educates the unsuspecting consumer about these fake products. Kudos to Direct Democracy! The consumer has once again become the king and rightly so because the consumer spends its money on items to get value/service out of the money. If a consumer is cheated then the consumer can approach Consumer Forum, Consumer Court etc so that their grievances are heard and justice is meted out to them and a fitting punishment is given to the defaulter company. More power to the consumer. Consumer is no longer an ignorant lot but is well aware of the consumer rights and can fight for its right. The credit goes to Direct Democracy for making the consumer aware of its power. Hence the consumer has been anointed the new king who refuses to be befooled by the smart companies. Infact the consumer has outsmarted and outwitted these companies who try to persuade the consumer upon buying their products. This has happened all because of Direct Democracy. The consumer is not as vulnerable as it used to be. Direct Democracy in its website mentions what a consumer can do if it is taken for a ride. These suggestions and ideas have really worked among the consumer and now they are aware of their rights. Direct Democracy therefore has given teeth to the consumer to exercise their power. The consumer earlier was used to be cheated by the companies but now the scenario has completely changed. With the new found power, the consumer is ready to take on the defaulter company at any time and at any place. Three cheers to Direct Democracy for making this possible and spreading awareness about the consumer power. The consumer has now woke up from deep slumber and has cut to size the defaulter companies and shops that are so adept at cheating. Ignorance is no longer a bliss and the consumer has learnt this through Direct Democracy and because of this initiative taken by Direct Democracy, once again the shops and the companies have started acknowledging the fact that the consumer is always right. So there are no more tears in the eyes of the consumer and neither the consumer is repentant of spending extra bucks for a product because he/she knows that everything is fine and the money spent on the item is safe and there are no hidden costs or extra costs.
