It is never a bad idea to re-assure or remind people of things. We have security icons in our browsers, but we re-assure people with security badges like Hackersafe and it seems to work. We remind people the amount they are saving on items at various stages of the buying process. I hear you, but we have entire industries based on the notion of reminding people they have the ability to purchase - credit cards anyone? It comes down to personal responsibility. Overall, I like this tactic a lot. Any uncommon event that a marketer can leverage should be at least considered. @CommerceStyle

What's next? Offer payday loans so people can buy stuff they don't have the money fore? I know I'm coming off negative, but I'm just not crazy about this type of marketing.
