Men's Wearhouse Commercial 2009
In this 2009 video commercial, George Zimmerman of the Men's Wearhouse talks about the decline of CEO's making guarantees, and then explains what he has always meant when he says, "I guarantee it" in his commercials. He says he means the customer will be satisfied with the quality, the price, the way the clothes fit and wear. He reiterates the guarantee and then tells the viewer that they are running a buy one get one free sale on designer suits.
