Persuasive: Final Draft

Talking to parents about payless shoes

My topic is on payless shoes. Do you know what my position is? I’m not going to go against it because I am for it. I will explain my reasoning in the next paragraphs. My reasons are…

1. The shoes are good for kids. My reason is that the kids grow out of them before they can use the shoes extensively to wear the shoes out. Payless has lots of shoe sizes; therefore, you can find your size in almost any store. They also have lots of kid sizes to adjust to the child’s needs too.

2. The shoes are cheaper than normal stores. There are the same shoes that you can have at Target or Wal-mart. You can get the same shoes at payless for equal to or less than the price at the other stores. The shoes aren’t name brand, but who needs that? Name brand just means that they are more expensive. You can get good deals at payless such as the BOGO deal. BOGO stands for buy one, get one _ off.

3. There is good availability with payless. There are lots of stores in the continental U.S. They are more likely to have your size of shoe. The store is devoted mostly to shoes, so you can find what type you need.

My conclusion is that you should shop for shoes at payless if you want to have money left over for other things for yourself or your kids. Payless is a good place to go if you want cheap stuff like socks and shoes. If you want to go to Wal-mart or Cabelas, then fine, do it your way. But I strongly suggest that you go to payless on account of that if you do, then you will be able to get that new power drill or lawn mower that you have had you eye on.
