BT leaflet


[link to this post]
 
I presume BT don't check where their leaflets are going. Had one yesterday saying that if I am out of contract with Virgin I could change to BT. We don't have Virgin here and even if we did at BT prices, no way would I. even their 50Mb/s is £32 a month. Sure, they give you 3 months free.

That’s a pointless post Adrian,

I, like everyone else, get lots of useless flyers through my door.

BT will just send them en masse to a distribution company. Those that send them spend exactly no time investigating each and every single address that their flyers will be delivered to.

I get flyers for pizza delivery which feature photos of meat toppings, how dare they, they must know I’m vegetarian 😱😱😱

Quite. It makes no financial sense for companies who use bulk mailings to not post them to every one. It’s why those living in bungalows get leaflets for stairlifts.

Marketing works.

We all remember the many months of twists and turns. The agonising toing and froing. The daily and sometimes thrice daily updates and the eventual sign up after you got a marketing letter from zzoomm.

Things were better under Labour.

We get VM leaflets despite being 5+ miles from anywhere that can get it.
I always found it odd that BT, or anyone else, never targeted our area when FTTP was installed under BDUK contract, it's taken couple of years before some households have realised they don't have to put up with the appalling FTTC speeds around here.

Likely for wine cellars. One can get a little dizzy going around in circles clutching a bottle of vino blush

I think it is a bit different to you being a vegi. for a start, you are on about one person here, you. I am on about a whole city. I would have thought BT or any other company for that matter would do their homework and realise that Virgin is not available here. Lazy marketing in my opinion., or maybe it is just cheaper that way.
This have nothing to do with my opinion of BT, i would have said the same with any company.
