20% discount at Borders and Books etc
Starbuck [17:53] Comments: 1 []
 
Now I don't think this is a hoax. But its still a piece of unsolicited chain spam, forwarded on by friends and family, and as such it has had a markedly negative marketing effect on old Starbuck, who resents such cynical viral practices, and has now resolved to never shop at Borders again.

"Send it to everyone in your address book and ask them to send it on to everyone in their address book!"

Pah! I urge you to join the boycott. Book-selling bastids!
Next week sees the all new 5 day Friends and Family discount event. We've doubled the number of days this fantastic 20% discount* offer is available to your friends and family - giving them greater flexibility around when they can enjoy the offer.

The key to the sales success of this activity is incremental purchases from as many new customers as possible - so the simple message is.....

PASS THIS ON NOW!!

Send it to everyone in your address book and ask them to send it on to everyone in their address book! There are NO restrictions on how many people this reaches - the more the merrier! This message is prominent on the coupon below - but make sure, in this age of spam, that in your forwarding message you personally reiterate that it is ok to pass it on.

Many thanks and wishing you great experience with Friends and Family 2006.
