How not to drum up business Pt 2

WTF!?!? The salvation army called today??? I mean really, I haven't even been able to think about picking up her dress she wore to Sarah's wedding from where she set it down that night, and the salvation army is calling my home? I am glad I wasn't home, but I can only imagine why they were calling. Sorry... 2 weeks 5 days ISNT FUCKING LONG ENOUGH!!

How not to drum up business

Yes I am posting in 2 places, lets say this blog will be for all my bitter or geeky type posts. 

Now I know the economy is slow, and people are trying to drum up business where they can, but I don't know if searching the obituaries is the right place. For me to get a letter from a company in Pontiac IL, about how they were being respectful by waiting a week to mail me information on doing a memorial stone, well I was just a little upset. I was going to scan the letter and post it in all its glory here, but really its not worth my time.

Now thinking about this you would have to assume that they scanned the obituaries, came across Tami's, searched for our address and decided that would be a good way to find new customers. I am sorry, but that is a little sick. I mean if I wanted some large granite memorial don't you think the Funeral Home would have recommended a place to get such a thing done? Maybe I am over reacting, but I just think its a poor business practice, at least the Jehovah Witness letter was sent to the funeral home, then they forwarded it to me. I suppose thats a little better on their part, or they just don't know how to use a computer.

I am sure they have gotten business this way, but I still think its wrong.
