Redskins sending email ads about shows
Anyone else receive an email from Redskins.com about Chris Rock coming to town along with someone else. What's up with that crap. I don't need that from them.

Marketing is Dan's field of expertise. A similar e-mail might be sent when the movie Valkyrie is released in a few months. Subject matter is fascinating.

If that happened, I'd probably start some sort of crusade to have it ended. That's a bunch of BS. |

I wondered why the hell I got that too. At first I thought it was a show at the stadium, but that'd be a silly venue for a comic. I wonder if there's a way to opt out of their ads.

Weird, it's almost like Dan thinks that if it comes from them, we will buy or go no matter what. I only want Redskins info from the Redskins.

Yea, I saw something from the Redskins w/ "Comedy" in the subject and I thought it was an article about Vinny Cerrato. |

I can tell you exactly how this came about...
When the Redskins & StubHub were negotiating to have SH as the "official ticket partner of the Washington Redskins", SH asked for access to the Redskins email list to said non-Redskins related ticket emails. It is BS and an abuse of the Redskins season ticket waiting list (IMO)
Actually, I didn't actually OPEN the email so if it wasn't from SH then the crime is even worse b/c that means the Redskins are selling the marketing list. I worked in Online marketing for years and that is a big no-no, but organizations get around it by sending the email directly (which is why it was from the Redskins). Therefore, it doesn't violate their privacy policy b/c they technically didn't share the email data...
Reputable and knowledgeable companies will give their members a chance to "opt-in" to this kind of garbage, but it seems the Redskin approach loyalty marketing the same way they do free agency.  |

They have an email of mine that is no longer in use and thanks to this info, I'll be sure not to update it. I never got anything useful from them via email anyway.

I am probably going to unsubscribe. They don't even de-dupe their lists, which is so insanely basic that I can't fathom why it doesn't get done. |

They also send links to different articles and tell you that tickets are mailed and such. It's not completely bad. This is just a little ridiculous.

Who says that the liver spotted hands of Cerrato didn't leave their oily fingerprints on that one?
