Title: Victoria's Secret
Post by: Mark Luper on September 23, 2003, 09:58:37 AM: I had an interesting experience yesterday...

I got home, checked the mail (without my glasses on of course) and took out what I could see was mine. Later in the evening when my wife got home she went through the same process. We make it a point not to open each other's mail...except this time.

I noticed she was a bit quiet throughout the rest of the evening, grandkids were around, we were watching a movie. We finally went to our bedroom to get ready to go to bed when she hands me this tri-folded card. On the back of it, pink background, white lettering, it said "Thank You". Inside was a background of a lovely brunnette and a message that read "Thank you for your information and you will find enclosed a $5 discount for your next purchase". :eek:

Needless to say I did a lot of stammering trying to explain to her that I hadn't even been in one of their stores much less purchased anything there. She believed me, I think ...

Have any of you had a similar experience? I really don't know where they got my address but I can see if a marriage was on the verge of being on the rocks how this could be a disasterous occurance.

Maybe this is a new marketing ploy

Post by: fd ski on September 23, 2003, 11:22:44 AM: I love their website. I bought like 8 different things for my wife's birthday once, from "bedtime" things to dresses and sweaters.
When she got it her reaction was "you want me to wear THAT ?"

Now she doesn't buy anything else other then VS :)
