why do companies that I buy an item from online feel compelled to send me an email everyday advertising that same product?

I already bought that $h!t.

They have your email address and you're on autosend. It would require some small modicum of effort on their part at this point to stop emailing you.

Go to the very bottom of the email and click the unsubscribe. Literally would've been done in less time than it took you to wander over to TexAgs to ***** about it.

Because you're in such a rush to get your item you don't pay attention to which boxes you check off during check out.

It's not their fault you suck.

I bought 20 socks from Amazon. I am good for the next 10 years.

I do not need an email the next day asking if I want to buy more socks.

I too am not a marketing or advertising genius, I'm not even a noob.

But, this reminded me of the billboards that I occasionally encounter on the highway that read something like:

Quote:

Does Advertising Work?

Just Did!!

Ostensibly, since I saw the billboard and read it, the advertising "worked". IMO, to consider advertising to have been successful there must have been a sale. So, no, it didn't work.

Now I'll go back to my day job.

Except that half of the time, they disregard your request and continue sending emails.

One normally sees these on US 79 halfway between Jewett and Marquez right above a faded Burma Shave sign.

Idk, you strike me as the type that dirties a lot of socks.
It is so easy to be wrong—and to persist in being wrong—when the costs of being wrong are paid by others.
