Re: Marketing ploys that give you fits...
A few years ago, I got a package in the mail. It was a memory course, tapes and book, with an invoice for about $75.
Problem was, I couldn't remember ordering it. I asked around the office, and nobody else knew anything about it either.
So, I figured that either I REALLY needed this course, or it was the greatest marketing scam in history.
Either I ordered it and forgot that I did, or they sent it out randomly, knowing that a certain percentage of people would go ahead and pay for it, thinking they really, really needed it.
I sent it back, I think.
