Even for small businesses their sales is pretty bad. I once got a package in the mail from them with a URL containing a tracking code printed on it to contact them that was so obviously Google being Google and treating people as part of a funnel. There was no phone number to be found and nothing personalized.
The other funny thing is the package had a neoprene sleeve for a Chromebook. Eventually a sales person reached out via email assuming I owned a Chromebook and acted like I owed them a phone call because they gave me a neoprene sleeve I couldn’t use.
The entire package ended up going in the trash, which was an unfortunate waste of unrecyclable materials.
- gunzel 8y agoIf you filled in a form at the link provided from one of the bits of paper in the box they would have sent you a Chromebook for the sleeve. I'e got one here gathering dust. My boss threw away the same package but I was curious and looked through it carefully.
- justinclift 8y agoSounds like it functions as some kind of filter, whether intentional or not. ;) "People who will look through every bit of advertising crap company x sends", vs those who don't. Something, somewhere is probably making stats on that. ;)
- gnurag 8y agoI found it interesting that you wrote "Something, somewhere", and not "Someone, somewhere"
- justinclift 8y agoYeah, that was on purpose. It's no longer obviously just humans potentially doing this. ;)
