has anyone done this recently? I remember back in like 5th grade we would write major companies telling them how much we liked their stuff and they would send us back coupons for free stuff, and promo things from their company. Does anyone here still do this, and if so, what kidns of things have you gotten? I was thinking of making up a form letter then just mailig it out the the major places in my area, see what I can get 😛


PS: RossMAN, this is right up your alley 😉

I sent an email to Hot Pockets telling them that I love their new Lean Pocket Ultras. They sent me 5 coupons for $1.00 off. 🙂

heh, tight. I think they might take hand-written letters a little more seriously, so you might get more from it 😉

I wrote the same thing about the Hummer.

Still waiting for a reply. 🙁
 
I used to hand write letters when I was young to McDonnell Douglas, Boeing, General Dynamics, Hughes, etc. and ask them for posters of their really cool airplanes. Most of them did and even sent me posters rolled up and shipped by UPS. I think the biggest one was a 36x72.

This was 10 years ago. I'm not sure if they still do it.

this is an excellent idea. can someone make a template of the letter that we all can use?

I think using a template will just about guarantee you will get nothing. It's not like there are 5,000 different people handling these letters. Once they see the third one made from the same template, they'll just start throwing them out.
