promotions
Mar. 11th, 2005 05:49 pmToday's mail included an exclusive offer for a heavily-discounted trip to Orlando, just for me. It came, of course, by bulk mail.
The Ford salesman called me a couple days ago (didn't expect to hear from him again). He said they're now giving away trips to Orlando or Las Vegas, and would I come up to [ridiculous price] for that? I said that was a disincentive; if I want to buy a trip I'll buy a trip, but when I want to buy a car I'm interested in dollars, period.
In neither case did I hear details like black-out dates. This doesn't strike me as the time of year to promote trips to Florida, but maybe if travel is restricted to this coming July that makes sense.
