Question Tons of Referrals for $2,000 Per Month...

Question for you...

I live in North Carolina and soon I plan to have an email list of over 10,000 local school employees. They will receive an email from me every single Monday morning.

If I lived in your city, and I personally recommended your company to all 10,000 employees in every single weekly email, would you spend $2,000 per month to have your company recommended every single week?

No, because like most advertising the only one guaranteed to make money is the person selling the advertising.

I never buy anything from companies that spam me!

Never! Ever! No Exceptions!

Therefore I would consider it to be a very poor marketing move by any company to send out spam e-mails...

I notice that your profile says "Plumbing Student" and that you are not actually working in the trade yet so you are not a plumbing professional...

But more than likely you are just a professional spammer...

I bet the ban hamster will be along shortly...

Furthermore If I knew that you were a spammer and lived near me I would be by your house every night to push a pin through your cable for the internet connection...

For that price I could send post cards with my own message.

Not for nothing, but who the ?!?! are you that 10,000 teachers would even care who you personally recommend to them?

I'm sensing a ban hamster . . .

Check out his other posts, he's trying to fly under the radar.

No plumber or plumbing professional - BAN

Wow. No I'm not a spammer. I started a savings program for the employees of a school district in my county. Every week employees will receive an email from me about where they can use their savings card for that week.

I want to use the opportunity to promote a local business by personally recommending them. And the employees know who I am. My recommendation will result in a lot of new customers for the business I recommend.

But you are right, no I'm not a plumber. I'm interested in plumbing but I don't have the money for trade school. So I'm thinking of trying to help a local plumber get more business.

Am I really going to get banned?

At $2,000.00 /mo. to send out emails, that's not helping. . . well, maybe it is. Helping to put a plumbing company under that is.
