 Bonus cards and the like.
I’m sure if you have a few years behind you, you remember when this little trend started. I believe it was the early nineties. Well when that happened, did you notice that you weren’t actually saving money?
The stores just give a price hike on whatever they decide is going to be a “BONUS BUY” for that week. So why waist time and money printing cards? Is it to give people a false sense of security that they are saving money? I think not. In that particular time line we have a major increase in telemarketing.
Coincidence? Maybe. But maybe, just maybe, it was a clever campaign between the retailers and our lovely telemarketing friends. A plan to get virtually every persons phone number address and of course a small survey of likes and dislikes, in order to be able to target us individually for certain products! Remember that the next time you go to the store and are asked if you want to become a privileged member.
But that’s just what I think and I could be wrong, but I used to have a problem with our “phoney” friends until I had my number changed. then just for the hell of it I rejoined one of the stores VIP clubs, witch they helpfully were willing to mail in the application for me, and then it began not two weeks later, I started becoming popular again. How do I know that this was the cause? I received calls for my wife that I don’t have, asking if I’m pleased with my particular diet.
Oh yeah! I forgot on my application I put married female interested in fitness and health! Try it yourself, you would not believe the efficiency of this program. I use only a cell phone now and never give a real number.
