During December of 2018 Payless ShoeSource held a fake advertising campaign by inviting influencers in high fashion to attend the grand opening of “Palessi” – a high end shoe store selling shoes for $200-$650 (shoes from Payless ShoeSource [PSS] shoes that originally sell for $19-$39). Palessi’s grand opening was held in Santa Monica, CA and PSS invited influencers (and paid them a stipend) to attend a grand opening which included a red carpet, champagne toasts, a Palessi Instagram account, a website and more. Review the video and news article.
