Giant Supermarket sells Spam

Posted by: pin on: 22 Jan, 2008

No, not the canned meat product! This is the 5th Spam mails I have received from Malaysia Giant Supermarket through I have requested them to unsubscribe me from the their list. Guess their marketing team is really doing a good job to have a short email that go through most Spam filtering system!

Clearly, the result of conversion is, this was featured in my Blog for a wider marketing reach!

i was reading newspaper when i’m having dinner a while ago, Puchong is having a massive problem of unwanted marketing materials being distributed around. In fact, it has becoming a problem everywhere. This is offline spam, big time offline spam. People spend alot of money in printing those marketing materials which the measurement of the conversion is totally zero. Giant replied to that particular matter by simply saying, they’re not aware of it and will look into it. I guess all the other spammers are not aware of it as well! :)

Man…the term “Giant Administrator” sounds like an ogre that pops out from a modern Tolkien folklore…

My take on this email is, it’s totally impersonal, robotic and lacks the human touch that should exist in every emails that attempts to communicate with another human being.

If you don’t want my reply, why bother sending it to my personal mail box in the first place?
