Last week this offer popped into my email inbox. I almost deleted it with all my other junk messages, but then I stopped.
Free cheesecake...and that's not bad, but how and why I asked myself silently. Suddenly, the lightbulb (imagine it hovering above my head) went off and I recalled plunking my email address down onto a little postcard thing one evening at the Cheesecake Factory at City Place. Ah, yes.
So, here's the deal I was thinking about...is one slice of free cheesecake worth coughing up my email?
How much personal information am I willing to sacrifice, eamil-wise, for free stuff here and there?
Hm, I don't have an answer for that at this moment, maybe never, but I am mulling it over.
How about you? Let me know, but in the meantime...there is free cheesecake waiting.
See ya 'round the beaches-real or virtual!!
I think it's worth it if you get other special offers from The Cheesecake Factory via email that you will use and care about. If it's a free item I would use or eat, but from a company I'm not interested in ever shopping at or using then I wouldn't give my email address for the free item.
ReplyDeleteI have a special hotmail account that I use when I have to use an email for whatever service. Whether its to order a pizza, look at a car, or get some free cheesecake. I think that email has nearly 100,000 messages lol.
