Directionless marketing...

Dear Sally Beauty Supply,

Congratulations on opening yet another Sally Beauty location, and thank you for your most recent coupon. In this economy, it's refreshing to see that at least some business are expanding, and I always appreciate the opportunity to save my pennies.

However, according to the fine(r) print, this coupon can only be redeemed at the new store location. That being the case, I'm afraid that the $10 savings I might enjoy there is just not enough incentive to travel the SIX HUNDRED AND SIXTEEN MILES from Chicago to Oxford, Mississippi -- so I'm sorry to say I won't be making the trip.

Thank you, and good luck on your future marketing endeavors.

Hilarious! I wonder if their marketing division has one less employee today.

I still get junk mail addressed to my in-laws who lived with us for 2-1/2 months one summer while their house was being built 22 years ago. Even more amazing is I moved from the address they lived with us at 16 years ago and the junk mail has followed us here!

I just found your blog and LOVE your quilts! The color combos are great, and you are so funny about the yellow and pink fighting each other - I laughed out loud - and about the ripples you got that turned into waves! Great reading. Looking forward to more posts from you!

Wow, someone was really on the ball there! The ridiculousness is kind of stunning, isn't it? Of maybe they're just geographically challenged.
