This could almost go under Bad Design.
I occasionally get newsletters from Canon Canada because I have a Canon camera and apparently managed to sign myself up for their newsletters. It was fine, though, as they came infrequently and while they didn’t always interest me (kids photography camps, etc.) they weren’t, like, offensive or anything.
This morning I got one reminding me to stock up on Canon ink for my Canon ink jet printer.
- I don’t have a Canon ink jet printer
- I don’t have any ink jet printer
- I have a Brother laser printer that uses toner and I’ve never had to replace the toner because that’s how often I need to print something
This blatant shilling to get me to buy something I have no use for was enough to get me to unsubscribe, so now instead of getting exposed to all of their news and promos, I get exposed to none of them.
Whoever decided to send out this email should be bopped in the head with a Canon in jet cartridge.
