Volume! Volume! Volume!
Saw a series of tweets this morning from random consumers about holiday marketing volume.
Some of the vendors I follow have gotten a little desperate. I’m getting an average of three emails a day saying “BUY OUR SHIT.”

Sadly, this has resulted in the inverse of their intent: I am now not buying anything from any of them until the New Year.

@seananmcguire The same here. I get that the holidays are make or break for some businesses, but more than 1 email a day is excessive.

@seananmcguire Do you perhaps mean Threadless? Because if they send me one more dang e-mail about 9.99 t-shirts…

@seananmcguire I’d say I can’t wait for Christmas, except that will start the “Didn’t get what you wanted under the tree? Buy it now” mails.
