Key to selling these products in retail is getting the consumer to buy the product and making sure they're not intimated by it.

Spanish translation:intimidado, violento
Explanation:
No sé de qué productos se trata, pero sí, creo que es un error y en realidad se trata de "intimidate", que es "intimidar". En este caso, entiendo que no se quiere que el cliente se sienta "intimidado", "amenazado" o lo que, en lenguaje más vulgar, se entiende como "violento" ante esos productos.
