How Much Wasted Advertising Money Do You See?

Hey gang,

I just opened my snail mail for the day, the usual suspects and a few bills, then something funny.

I got an ad piece from AT&T U-Verse wanting me to sign up for their Internet, Phone and TV package.

All fine and dandy, except…

I’m already an AT&T U-verse customer!

I wonder how many millions of dollars they are wasting every year doing this?

Is it any wonder some of these companies struggle to make a profit, especially in these trying times?

    Hello Scot.
    Listen, thanks for posting your personal email invite from AT&T. However, even tho’ they are HUGE in the industry … they are absolutely not alone in this insanity of wasted advertising dollars. Nearly every product I’ve ever purchased from any online IM promoter does the same exact thing. You know the routine: optin for an ebook, ecourse, report, find yourself on a OTO, end up buying something through a series of rabbit holes, and finally receive a Thank You for Your Purchase email. A few days later .. it’s like they forgot you all together and are “re-promoting” themselves to you all over again. Then, the onslaught begins with daily emails that who in the world could ever keep up with — for every offer on the planet. Yes, it’s an infection spread wide for sure. I must say tho’ with exception to this is your NicheADay, love getting those.

    Best regards to you Scot.
