Pressure sales tactics, middle class assumptions, worthless offer from One.com
Autore: Graham H.This is a copy of an email, I sent to incomedia, out of frustration. I'm not sure if they'll reply, their 'special offers' are run automatically, on the assumption that people a) always have disposable cash and b) respond to pressure sales tactics positively. email to Incomedia = "I am truly ruly sick of your OTO sales pitches, I want this offer, am going to have to cut back on food this week due to my existing purchase and get paid on 11.12.12 - so will miss the offer by 3 days and if I want it it will cost me a 10 euro penalty for being keen to buy your original product. Try thinking less middle-class, more working-class, maybe? By the way the One.com offer has turned out to be worthless as they cannot deliver a simple sms. I'm regretting my purchase more and more, now. "
Hello Graham,
These offers are sent to all customers that decided to be informed. If you do not want to receive further offers for the moment you can unsubscribe from your profile and then activate them again in the future.
Many thanks!

Why does the offer have to last 3 days? You're missing my point, I want discounts like this and incomedia obviously wants to sell at the lower price, but I'm supposed to be middle class, with an endless supply of disposable cash. I know why the offer lasts 3 days, it's supposed to make me think 'One time only chance, I better buy it right now.' I would, but I don't get paid til Tuesday and the offer has ended, so this time, the sales tactic has backfired, the timing was wrong, I'm not buying at the higher price.
