Anyone else get this thing in the last couple of days?
Kind of a strange multi-sport poster with the back side of a FB player with my name on the jersey. And a fridge magnet with the schedule. 2 homes games later.
All in a bubble-wrapped full size envelope. I bet the whole thing cost $5-7 to produce and mail. Not counting design time. I guess this is because I gave $100 last fall and rejoined the Cougar Club. Have yet to get anything asking me to re-up for this year. Not complaining. But color me unimpressed again. Marketing is a fickle thing, and maybe thousands of Cougs loved it. Me? I'm trying to figure out how I can reuse the bubble envelope. Those things don't come free.
Weirdest part is that it came to my current (recently moved) address, and WSU does not have it. So how the heck did they track me down? Spooky.
What impressed me way back when was when I was a $100 donor and I got a call from Reuben Mayes, an Asst whatever back then. He was calling to ask me to re-up and maybe increase my donation. I did of course. Now that is customer service. But then, more recent Asst Ad's for the Cougar Club are too busy doing other "things" to bother making those calls. So let's send me some useless crap instead. Except that bubble envelope. I think I can duct tape a blank sheet over it, and use it.
