I am getting so bored of receiving emails about promoting other people, brands or things that I have absolutely no interest in or, a lot of the time, have never heard of. I love to promote brands, people, other blogs and just things in general that I like, plus I am open to the odd sponsored post if the topic interests me (so a big fat no to EDF energy and Paypal then) but these get my goat. These emails ALWAYS come from a third party who is supposed to specialise in ‘Social Media’, not from a PR and definitely never come direct from the Company or brand, it takes a special breed of middle man to be a complete tit (obviously).
My responses in pink are my universal response to the doughnuts sending me these specific emails.
Hi
I thought I’d get in touch about a new video [insert title of boring arse video] – Wow…a video about a Z list celebrity, Wag, scorned TV presenter, some bird I have never heard of …talking about something boring and in no way relevant to real life as we know it. Wicked.
In the video [The King and/or Queen of boresville] talks about [insert boring rubbish they are talking about] – if theres a choice between watching this and paint dry then send me to B&Q pronto to get some Dulux.
Take a look here [link to crap video] – fine, I watched it, who knew 3 minutes could last so long. Watching a rat riding on a cat race a frog riding a dog would have been more entertaining and educational.
I thought this could work well on your site. No you thought you wanted me to write about it, for free, so you could keep the advertising budget you were given for yourself. The thing on my shoulders ain’t just a hat rack love.
Let me know what you think do you really want an email saying ‘it’s shit’? and if you’d be able to pop it up on the site. I could just take a photo of a poo and put it on here, but I don’t…. If you need any more copy or info do let me know. There is MORE??!
Regards, >>>> Not Kind Regards? What are just ‘regards’??? Evil Ninja regards? Poddington Pea regards?
Is it just me? Bangs head on floor.
