Retailers sending email like dear lizard, you deserve a new dress

[Lardlizard]

Always annoys because they companies telling peopel what the deserve

Perhaps they deserve to live debt free and not always be buying crap
I think this lockdown has helped alotnof people become less materialistic

Perhaps you don't buy the new dress, delete the email and unsubscribe. It's just a mailshot. Some people will deserve the new dress, some won't it matters not.

I hate them too OP!

The things other people get worked up about honestly

I’ve definitely been spending a lot less since covid
Happened

I haven’t even clicked on it
I’m sorting my wardrobe instead

If somebody buys a new dress because a company has emailed saying they deserve it then I am sorry but that's on them.

Nobody is being forced to overspend!

Delete it and unsubscribe.

I don't like it either. Or the "matey" and colloquial tone that they use.

I was told years ago that a marketer's sole aim is to make consumers feel dissatisfied with what they already have.

Vote with your feet and delete!

I just delete them. If I buy a dress from an advert it's because I liked the dress and made the decision myself. Nobody forced me to.

The title of this thread confused me before I saw your username, OP.

It’s ok for me as I won’t but anything unless I really like it, but one of my entendres family members has always struggled with managing money to the point of losing their home etc so that’s why I find these kinda things out of order because some people are swayed by them and think of yes I do deserve a new dress or whatever
Remember the days the banks you’d to send out loan offers, unsolicited saying hey you’ve been pre approved for £x k
And they even used to put little fake cheques in with the junk mail, to temp people into taking out loans for things they don’t need, that’s what i class as irresponsible !

The reason these companies have your email is because you have subscribed or bought from them before though.

You can't rescue people from themselves sadly.

It's the favoured email marketing technique at the moment. Saw a LinkedIn post of someone massively singing it's praises and loads of other marketing professionals falling over themselves to agree. I dared to pipe up and say that I find nothing more off putting than a business trying to tell me what I need, deserve or should love and that it certainly wouldn't work on me. That caused them all to announce that I was the anomaly and so probably not their target audience... fucking idiotic.

I was like 'yes I do deserve a new dress' when I got that email today.

But I deleted it and didn't buy one. 🤷‍♀️ All nexts dresses are pretty dire at the moment.

Am I the only one picturing a lizard in a new dress?

My friend did order a new dress online and a little ad flashed up for her to order a facemask in the matching fabric. That's quite a useful marketing tool though!

Tayto 🤣

Fatted I agree, next dresses are so shapeless

I agree, I hate the psychology of sales and marketing. Although I went to a timeshare sales night once which was so awful it was brilliant.

Getupagain how did you end up at timeshare sales night ? Wasit one of them competitions

Lizard I was poor and they offered 2 bottles of wine for attending! It was almost like a theatre performance, so scripted and staged, so calculating. Fascinating really.

Oh fair enough 🤣at least you got soemthing out of attending
I’d probably enjoy too in a the same way
