Clearly Incompentent Marketing

Tuesday, January 5th, 2010

CLEAR (presumably the former clearwire), is running a direct mail campaign with envelopes that state on the outside “This is not junk mail”.  I’m not clear I understand the message they intend to send with this mailing. Is it that Clear is run by  people who would lie to you?  How exactly is that a selling point?  I’m not saying it’s a surprise, I’m just surprised at how much money they’re spending on telling people that they are willing to be dishonest to get your business, with all that implies as to how they would treat you after you are a customer.

“Trust me, I’m a liar”, just isn’t the killer opening line you think it is.

Oh Blizzard.

It’s not enough to make millions off the masses of weed smoking college students wasting away their education, no you have to help track down low level pot dealers who’ve fled to Canada.  I’m willing to let you do most anything you want with my $45/month, but not that.

I’ve got plenty of books to catch up on reading anyways.
