I'm sure the marketing team will have its hands full trying to promote this event, so I'd like to help out by suggesting a few slogans:
"We're hacking prices!"
"Now you don't have to go to Vegas to gamble with your credit card!"
"Attention shoppers: Check out our WEPcrack specials in aisle 3."
"If I were you, I'd pay with cash."
