If I never get another of more than a dozen templates for certain predictably dire propositions (usually financial) it will be a day of celebration.<BR/><BR/>Hence my trying to figure out how one piques interest in an environmental manner, that also provokes a postive invitation to 'send more'.<BR/><BR/>And just to be clear, I was not not meaning to talk about anyone's marketing inventory specifically... more a general 'us'. Even Junkk.com has a fair share of dead tree reassembly products.Emmahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11550976834509947355noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-13989113.post-28588019218660092762008-08-12T17:34:00.000+01:002008-08-12T17:34:00.000+01:00I forgot to include the word 'unsolicited' in the ...I forgot to include the word 'unsolicited' in the post. Now modified accordingly.<BR/><BR/>Yes, if you've opted in, I have no problem with it - you have brought the problem upon yourself. But I can personally fill half a bin-liner each month with totally unsolicited cr*p that I haven't asked for, don't want, and would never have a need for. Now that, in anybody's terms, has got to be a total waste of resources. And now having a feel for just what a significant carbon footprint junk mail has makes me even more anti it.<BR/><BR/>And yes, of course our product range has brochures, and packaging, but we would never mail our stuff to people unsolicited.Davehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/18379403055059991769noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-13989113.post-22504774306806974042008-08-12T10:02:00.000+01:002008-08-12T10:02:00.000+01:00Devil's Advocate/Junkk Male RE:view editorial hat ...Devil's Advocate/Junkk Male RE:view editorial hat time again!<BR/><BR/>Actually, I don't hate junk mail. Certainly I find poorly targetted, woefully created missives that waste my time and fill up the bin in an orgy of waste a nuisance, but no more.<BR/><BR/>I also have, on more than one occasion, found stuff I am sent to be of value, resulting in purchases and/or actions I am happy with.<BR/><BR/>I am also not too keen on a 'ban', without that blanket term being more precisely defined, and more fairly related to every aspect of consumer-driven business behaviour. I don't know the numbers, but how about 'banning' sales calls or 'exhibition attendances'. Lots of folk going lots of places with no certainty of a sale. How many photocopier guys on the M4 right now?<BR/><BR/>Maybe they should be removed too, but careful what you wish for. Does your product have a brochure... packaging... etc? <BR/><BR/>I agree some restraint is required. There is of course the TPA/FPA equivalent (name escapes me), but frankly I have agreed, or not disagreed to so many related offers of info, online and off, I'd be hard pressed to know, or both with whoever may have abused my in-box.<BR/><BR/>There's also who is to police this... The Royal mail? Hardly in their interests.<BR/><BR/>Frankly I'd favour some kind of e2DM system, where by they can send me a message asking if I'd be keen on getting the pack in question. I can opt for PDF or the fully monty.Emmahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11550976834509947355noreply@blogger.com
