RM advertising FREE mailshots

Post by mclovin »

On the radio this morning.

They KNOW its going to be a YES vote even before the votes have been cast, as do the CWU.

Its a stitch up, just like 2007.

(Business / Marketing) a circular, leaflet, or other advertising material sent by post, or the posting of such material to a large group of people at one time

In other words D2D, for free.

I found a card, the ones that goes in the back of yorks. Printed on the back of it.....

'DOOR TO DOOR IS PROFITABLE
13% OF CUSTOMERS KEEP D2D ITEMS FOR OVER A WEEK
D2D MEANS JOBS FOR POST PEOPLE'


I think they are getting desperate :crazy:
So keep on moving, moving, moving your feet
Keep on shuf-shuf-shuffling to this ghost dance beat
Just keep on walking down never ending streets

Didn't hear the radio ad so could be wrong, but are you sure this isn't "Mailshots Online" which RM are pushing to small and medium businesses?

If so this is nothing to do with D2D as part of running the mailshot involves uploading the list of addresses you want it sending to.

As I said, might not be this, but the use of the word "mailshot" makes me think it''s more likely to be this than D2D.

13% could be close. 4% are on holiday and 8% just pick them up up and put them on the nearest flat surface next to the front door( blue bin death row).

I suppose it must work on someone or they wouldn't do it :hmmmm !

People only say that when it doesn't go THEIR way. Funny how all the crap about majority voting isn't fair when it suits. More accurate would be that some people get themselves into a frenzy and assume the vote will be a No based on nothing other than waffle and repetitive posting. The CWU never was a united band, of anything. When the crunch comes its everyone for themselves, as now.

Stitch up? No, a democratic vote. :cuppa

It's good to get these types of threads, the ridiculous my manager said bollox, so we can reassure ourselves that while the world is falling apart, Royal Mail managers are still being the low-life C***S they have always been.

The daily grind of having to argue your case with an intellectual pigmy of a line manager is physically and emotionally draining.

Hardly democratic when youve got a propaganda DVD bundled with the ballot paper and 'vote yes' plastered all over the ballot paper itself.
