This afternoon, I received an e-mail from CompUSA advertising an upcoming sale. Consider:
We’re giving you the same discount our own employees get on notebook and desktop computers. Now is the perfect time to upgrade to the machines you’ve been wanting for months.
Friday is my birthday (hint, hint), so the timing is perfect. Yet, couldn’t they put that discount on an iPod®, because I already have three two computers and no iPod®? That’s not too much to ask, I don’t think.
At least, though, I’d appreciate an original advertising campaign, one not stolen from one two car companies. Thanks.
