I can safely assume that you have at some point received an email like one of the above. Well, needless to say, I have received the above two the past week, and to my work email!! After reading the emails, the following questions come to mind:
1) if you are a serious company, why wouldnt you spend the time making sure your emails make sense?
2) is somebody really clicking in these websites?

    hello,

    I just received a similar mail myself from this company.
    They seems to have good prices but I have the same issue as you - can you trust them?
    I tried to chat and they did respond so someone is apparently there. But their english seemed poor.
    have you been able to understand what this is all about? Tried to buy?

    Kind regards
    Patrik

    I actually have not... but the fact that they cant proof the email (which is their advertisement, their selling point) I really cant get myself to even check their site...

    Do not trust them, they are thieves stole a friend whit 450 USD. When you ask what is the mode of payment? they say that by bank transfer only. Reputable firms other payments accepted. They steal.

Its the explanation of the phenomena that gives the insight...

I have always found the following idea among the most interesting in business: numbers = true insight. Strong statement right?! Depending on where you stand, Positivist or Post, you might say that the above statement is true. Now, dont get me wrong, I enjoy numbers (a lot actually), but I feel that businesses nowadays are hanging thei hat on a percentage. Some examples of things I've heard - "Our brand tracking is showing that our awareness has declines 2%... are our TV not working?"  "The advertising strategy is not really moving product (sales)... I really haven't seen a percentage increase..." And I could honestly keep giving examples, but the above two are some I can recall pretty fast. Now, let me say that there is nothing wrong with the above statements, what bothers me is that with numbers we tend to look for one answer and one answer only. The thinking behind this is that there has to be some variable that is affecting the phenomena.But, if the...

Is this not a bit too intrusive?!

By
I know that good marketing is supposed to catch you a bit off guard and make you think about the message but this is just too much... Why? Because, 1) although it in fact was unexpected, it crossed the privacy line (which by today's standards is pretty low). 2) it's not creative, and 3) lacks authenticity... Which is the last thing you want if you deal with money. Thought?!

Honestly... Who is thinking Arby's??

By
Having worked at a McDonald's and for the McDonald's brand for a couple of years, seeing advertising like the one below reminds why the golden arches still have the higher share in the fast food market. Please know that I am not saying that McD's has this share solely because of its advertising, but at the very least, their advertising doesn't turn anyone away. While watching TV a couple of weeks ago, I came across the Arby's B-day spot, which you can see below. After watching it I just thought... wow, somebody actually produced this spot? Let me say that there is really nothing wrong with the production, it is more the idea that got produced. The strategy behind this campaign was pretty insightful and good. I'm Thinking Arby's . Ownable , different and niche enough that when you want to eat something hot and tasty only Arby's will suffice, hence you crave and can only think Arby's ... the problem was the execution. Does the guy like the food?...
