Signwriting advert is a neat trick but still unwanted spam
Like any businessman who spends time using email I loathe spam and alongside the phishing scams, 419 banking bonanzas from Africa and various priapic therapies I get just as annoyed with genuine - but unsolicited - sales pitches.
One that did make me smile though was an email from some sign writing company that had gone to the trouble of designing an applet that wrote the
Morgan PR web address across the boot of a car, while the website itself (visited via a browser rather than click on the email and reveal my curiosity!) allowed you to write anything you fancied - see above!
So clever yes, but unsolicited and junked accordingly. When customer service is so readily requiring permission marketing, we do wonder how much longer we will have to deal with spam!
