what are they doing? I unsubscribed from most email categories and I still get almost daily emails from johnnie (annoying way to spell it) boden... and all the junk through my door. they are really going over board with their marketing. Bored of it now!
sorry, just felt like a rant.

I wouldn't mind if the offers were decent but it's usually 10% off if you spend something like £600. (A lot less of an exaggeration than it should be!)

Are they making a loss cos it's some heavy handed marketing campaign?

This morning through the postbox another catalogue and an email. Or Johnnie is in love with me?

I think I struck unlucky with what I bought last year cos it's not worn well. So avoiding them this year. The kids stuff is usually great.

I bought quite a bit from their earlier campaign this year but nothing from the Summer one. It's all getting a bit samey, less good quality IMO and I'm not thrilled that it's all being made in China either. Hmm

You can make it stop - I eventually managed. Unsubscribe from emails as well and send them one saying No More Catalogues.

In fact I have had a merry hour unsubscribing from all sorts of things - La Redoute are serial catalogue offenders as well.

Pancakeflipper · 25/03/2011 12:47

PING went my email box.

It's Johnnie again. Sigh.

Oh Johnnie, don't start to get stalkerish now, I like to hear from you Johnnie but not everyday. You'll be going into my junk box soon and I didnt want us to end like this.

doireallywant3 · 25/03/2011 13:18

lol.. it is like being stalked!! and vicky - you're right, the offers aren;t that great anyway... 10-20% of something pretty expensive is not that appealing!!

Joules are being a pain in the butt too. I get a couple of mails from them a week and there is never anything left in their '70% off sale' so it is all marketing bullshit anyway.

I loathe Boden - some of it is really ugly and dowdy, and it all looks the same. I've stopped buying from Joules too. They used to do great country/equine style stuff but it is all so up its own arse now. Quilted gilets fgs? They have always been utterly hidous and sticking a couple of pink buttons and an embroidered hare on isn't going to change that.

Anyone see the 'new' Midsomer the other night?

Boden must be sponsoring it - seemed like every female character was wearing something from the catalogue.

Apart from the realistically-attired schoolgirl in above-the-knee sox.

Yeah, after that campaign last year with when Johnnie met (RubberDuck) which felt very stalkerish and creepy I've gone right off them. Phoned up and got them to cancel EVERYTHING. It got ridiculous the amount of marketing I got from them.

DramaInPyjamas · 25/03/2011 13:31

I get the Boden emails and the junk through the door.
I have never even considered buying anything from them and wouldn't have signed up for anything from there either.

MNHQ. As friends of dear Johnnie - I'm looking at you.. I hope you haven't been passing my details on..?

RubberDuck · 25/03/2011 13:31

(and I could imagine as a campaign it could have been quite triggering for someone who has been stalked too).

HipHopopotomus · 25/03/2011 15:12

I've managed to unsubscribe from all emails years ago and I requested no more catalogues please and that was successful too. They will stop sending stuff if you ask.

I know where to find you if I need you Boden - cheers!

tortilla · 25/03/2011 15:17

I recently signed up online and ordered a few things in post-baby nothing-i-usually-like-fits-so-lets-try-boden desperation (I wasn't thinking straight :)) Sent it all back as it all looked hideous on me. Haven't yet got round to unsubscribing from emails, which are annoying enough, and then a couple of days ago I got a bloody newspaper through the door from him. Not a flyer, or a brochure - a bloody newspaper! I'm off to cancel right now
