I don't know where to post this but since I purchase mainly Poser content I'm posting it in the Poser forum. Mods feel free to mov eit anywhere it belongs...

I received the usual occasional limited discount offer e-mail from the Rendo PTB except this one starts out...

"It’s been a while since you shopped at the Renderosity MarketPlace and we miss you! We would like to offer this special coupon to earn your business." etc. etc.

The last purchase I made was May 7 of this year, 4 day ago. I have made 11 purchases this year alone averaging $36.50 each. ($400+ total for 2006 so far) That's an average of one purchase every 12 calender days. I haven't checked but I'm guessing that I have a very similar track record going back 2-3 years.

How often (and how much) do I have to buy before I stop getting what I think are thoughtless, if not downright insulting sales pitches?

You'll never stop getting those, it's a mass email thing, says the same thing regardless of who the recipient is and when their last purchase was.

I don't even pay attention to the text, just look for the coupon amount, code, and expiration date, the rest is unimportant to me.

If you're joking that's just cruel, but if you're being sarcastic, that's even worse.

I shop here and have for some time now and have NEVER gotten such an e-mail.  The only e-mail I get from Renderosity is the e-bot notices about forum posts and those seem to be going crazy since they changed the forum format.

Best Wishes,

Cross posted with modus0.  Maybe you should look into your profile or preferences.  There may be a swith you can click which will eliminate the e-mails.  I like my privacy and will not work with companies that send me a lot of junk e-mail or even US Mail.

With a little work you can really ease the US Mail junk you recieve.

I used to get those.  But I turned off emails in my preferences area. Now I only get a weekly news letter.  I didn't use the coupons anyway as the minimal amount  to buy  to get 10% off is too high for me.

Let's see..5 years? I've never actually bought anything from anyone, and no one's had a real problem yet (I do hand out the odd freebie from time to time..;)

Ill take a thoughtless and insulting sales pitch if it comes with a coupon. hint hint.

If you don't like it, just forward the coupon code portion on to me. I for one, will like that. :p (you probably can't do that... but hey, worth a try... ;) )

Truth has no value without backing by unfounded belief.

I think everyone gets the same coupon code and it's only valid once per account.

For me it's not worth me spending $35 USD plus exchange rate in order to save $3.50.

I'd prefer if they lowered their minimum to $10 or $15.00.  Or they could do it in steps.  10% discount for X dollars spent, 20% for X dollars spent, 25% off for X dollars spent.

More people would probably take advantage of it then.

the minimum amount varies from time to time, sometimes it is 10$, sometimes it is up to 35$.

I think I used the coupon 2 or 3 times, when my whislist was filled with items, including a sale here and there.

 

this time the minimum is $15.

You might as well PAY attention, because you can't afford FREE speech

I always get the coupon about 10 minutes after I just bought something, go figure!

Made a purchase last night, the first for a Month from here and "bingo", as predicted 10 minutes later an E-mail with a coupon

Ha!!!!

I do recieve this "BUY SOME STUFF"-reminder from time to time.
And guess what I'm doing?
Yap!

They know their business ;-)

So if you spend four hundred bucks in a quarter for Poser - stuff,...you should invest a few bucks in a proper Spam filter too :)

take care folks

[edit] for some missspelling ... I should invest in a proper translator...
