Constitutes False Advertising: The bait and switch tactic can be considered false advertising, which may lead to negative litigation. It should not meet specific criteria to avoid legal issues.

Reduces Brand Perception: Loyal customers may view bait and switch as a breach of trust, reducing their perception of the brand. It may be more effective to use a soft-sell or customized approach with long-term customers.

Could Reduce Long-term Revenue: A bait and switch campaign could backfire, especially if it lowers the impact of original advertisers' goals and paid advertising. This can lead to a decrease in long-term revenue.

Unethical Practice: Bait and switch is considered an unethical practice in sales, as it lures customers with specific claims about the quality or low prices of items that turn out to be unavailable or inferior.

Subject to Lawsuits: Bait and switch tactics, as a form of false advertising, may be subject to lawsuits in many countries, including the U.S., England, and Canada.

Red Flags: Consumers should be vigilant for red flags such as too-good-to-be-true deals, claims of limited quantity available, and overly-complicated fine print or disclaimers.
