- TomGullen 14y agoAssuming there's no risk legitimate customers will see this message, it's still a short sighted tactic in my opinion. For an extra $29 in the bank, you've risked alienating your other customers, and could even lose revenue going into the future - mainly because you posted it on your company blog which I'm sure is read by a lot of your legitimate customers. It's a precarious position because the $29 isn't much upside at all and can easily be negated by one single customer who reads this post and finds an alternative. I understand that you feel celebratory about this, but it would be fair to assume that some of your customers will not feel the same way about it.
