Meaning of "For Brokes" [closed]

I want to know if the use of "For Brokes" mean what I think because I'm not a native person.

If I want to sell things to people withouth money (broke person), the things that I sell are really cheap so the I could use the phrase "Things for brokes", but I want people to get it only with "For Brokes".

It makes sense? Thanks in advise :)


Solution 1:

If they are truly broke they don't have any money, what your implying is difficult since if I tried "Buy me you vagrants" or Buy me you paupers" , "Perfect for the ne'er-do-well." I could be sure of a flaming back lash.

The nearest I can quickly think of and likely to be mildly acceptable is

"Designed for the less well off" or "less prosperous"

Solution 2:

People usually won’t be very attracted to hearing themselves described as ‘broke’ - as that is an undesirable trait. So that could repel your customers. And you can’t say ‘brokes’ to describe such people, it is not idiomatic (not in use in English).

How about turning ‘broke’ into a more positive trait, like ‘thrifty’? Thrifty means ‘careful with money; keen on saving money’ so it’s a more appealing way of describing it.

You could say ‘great value items for the thrifty’.

Alternatively you can use ‘broke’ - but soften it with humour, and by directly (but politely) ‘naming the problem’ as in: ‘flat broke? We have great deals for you!’ In this one, we haven’t identified your customers as being ‘broke people’ (which implies a permanent condition and is thus not very... polite!) Instead we suggest that the condition is temporary - flat broke? (- at the moment - implied) and (hurrah!) we offer them a way out - by letting them buy your lower priced products.

Solution 3:

No, it doesn't make sense. "Things for the poor" might fit, and a few other phrasings. And "things for the thrifty" would imply things for people who are very careful about how they spend their money.
