Follow Up Emails - Marketing Rewards Program

A few years back I was working on a customer loyalty program.  Frankly, the idea and intentions were excellent, but what we quickly realized was that we put in place WAY too many steps for a person to join the program.  We lacked the technology to have a one step enrollment process.  You live and you learn with stuff like that.  
Anyhow, the process and the amount copy I wrote for follow up emails made me think....what if a company actually wrote what they wanted to say to customers who weren't visiting the store or utilizing their rewards card.  

I created Gorilla Guns. 


Welcome E-Mail

Thank you for signing up with the Gorilla Guns Weapons Rewards card!  We are thrilled you have selected Gorilla for all of your weapons, ammo, and gadget needs.  Remember, your rewards card entitles you earn free ammo for every third gun you purchase. 

We thank you for choosing Gorilla and look forward to putting our sites on you!

Hi Fellow Gun Enthusiast,

We see that you have yet to purchase a weapon here at Gorilla Guns, your home for bone crushing weaponry.  Some of our best deals of the year are happening RIGHT NOW.

Silencers for under $200  (Keep those nosey neighbors in the dark about your home discharge methods)
Hollow Point tipped bullets for all gun types as low as $2 (Because you need to stop those bullet proof vest wearing robbers right in their tracks)
Gun Racks starting at $49.  (Because you can have all the catchy bumper stickers you want.  A premium USA assembled gun rack makes a real statement.)

So come on down to Gorilla Guns and stock up for the holidays, the time of year when everyone should be armed.

Hey,

Listen, we aren't exactly sure what the problem is here, but I thought we made it very clear.  We have guns.  Come shop for them.   Some of our customers get a little scared about the whole "background check" thing.  Is that you?  If so, don't you worry.  Gorilla Guns has its own "tradeshow" area set up out back in a double wide.  Our non-certified dealers are less than interested in any of your past misgivings, prison sentences, or general criminality.  As Gorilla Gun founder Claude H. Patterson said on his death bed, "Nobody needs to know who shot me."  It is a motto we live by.  So come on down.  Don't be afraid of rejection at Gorilla Guns doublewide gun sales.

Dickhead,

We are trying to run a small business.  Maybe you decided to purchase your gun at some corporate place with elderly greeters and discount pricing.  Maybe you are a liberal scumbag who  "doesn't need a gun to protect his family from the imminent threat of a break-in".  Haven't you ever seen an ADT commercial?  There is a 93% chance there is someone casing your home right now.                                                                                            And you do not have a gun.  Normally we here at Gorilla Guns decry gun violence, but because you have so blatantly disregarded our repeated efforts to arm you...maybe you deserve it.  

As of today we are revoking your Gorilla Guns discount card. 

May God have mercy on your liberal soul. 

The Gorilla Family

What Is the World Coming To?

I have been working on a huge project at work.  I could tell you about it, but I will wait until the ink is on the page before doing so. My point here is that I have been able to be creative with how I plan a huge event.  Rather satisfying to create a concept and work it through.   You know, better than cubicle living. I hung out at an ad agency last night.  I wish my company had beer taps, free food, a pool table, and bean bag chairs.  No really......that was amazing.  Was also able to have an hour long strategy session around my event - while drinking free beer.  Yeah, so that didn't suck.  At all.  In the least.  In any capacity.  Whatsoever.  I may ask if they need an intern. Bought tickets to a Brian Fallon concert.  He is the lead singer for The Gaslight Anthem.  It is in the middle of New Jersey.  I have no clue how I will get there, but I will manage.  I mean, how tough could it possibly be? ...

The Trump vs. Clinton Dilemma

The Trump vs. Clinton Dilemma is an American Dilemma I have always been into politics.  The board game "Hail to the Chief" was my favorite growing up.  (At the age of 11 I could name all 50 state capitals.  Today.....Hold on, let me try.  Tell you in a second......43.  Respectable, but an exercise that led me to kick myself over forgetting the capital of New Hampshire.)  I love political dramas like House of Cards and The West Wing (another reason I should have known the capital of NH).  When I was in college I majored in Political Science and nearly went to 50% of my classes.  On Sunday mornings I tend to watch Meet the Press. You get the picture I am painting here.  I enjoy politics. And I'll even tell you my political views.  I am a fiscal conservative and liberal on most social policies.  Our tax code is completely broken.  Immigration is a problem that can be fixed with cooperation and better border enforcement/let's ...

Save the Pandas

Let's get this out in the open.  I love Pandas.  They sit around all day eating bamboo, climbing trees, rolling around........pretty much enjoying life.  I dig that.  If everyone in this world were more like a panda it would be a friendlier, fuzzier place.  But alas, we humans do not resemble the Giant Panda.  Therefore, perhaps, we need Giant Pandas to remind us of how simple life can be.   (OK, I'm only speaking for myself here, but Pandas are simply a cool animal that I enjoy going to the zoo and watching for an hour - or however long they let me stand at the Panda reserve) So that is why this news report is so very upsetting to me: http://rockcenter.nbcnews.com/_news/2013/02/21/16964074-are-giant-pandas-worth-saving?lite&ocid=msnhp&pos=1 The idea that we need to be putting fewer resources into the preservation of the panda species.   I have some arguments here: 1. What would you rather save?  A lizard?  Liz...
