Promoters need to clean up their act big time.
This thievery of phone numbers or unsolicited use of phone numbers for texting promos, also extends to email.
A few months ago, my friend sent me some pictures from an occasion, as well as his friends. We were all on the to: address line.
Well, one of his friends was also a promoter, who grabbed that email list, and used it for her promo distribution list without anyone's approval. She inadvertently CCd her entire contact/customer list instead of BCCing everyone. Other promoters were on that distribution list. THOSE promoters in turn added me and everyone tho THEIR distribution lists as well. ALL WITHOUT THE CONSENT OF THE EMAIL ADDRESS OWNERS.
I am pissed off that I got spread around like that. It appears it's a cut-throat business, where back stabbing other promoters is common or accepted among themselves.
I find it next to impossible to get myself off these promoters' mailing lists.
One promoter in particular, I was very polite in my request to have me removed, and I was kindly replied to, that I have been removed, and that his gmail account apparently adds email addresses to his address book randomly. I thought it would be over.
Well today, I received another of his promo emails for the club he's representing. I never met him, however I respected him as he's a TA as well, and get along with him here. But this behaviour is total bullshit.
I am pissed off, and hope promoters begin to act ethically, as it is obvious to me they do not. Their extra money in their part-time job depends on how many asses they get into the club they are representing. However they are also pissing a lot of people off in the process.
I've never been and been interested in going to his club one day, but after all this bullshit, it's going to take a lot from this promoter to EVER get my ass or my friends' in his club. |
Sorry to hear about this, you must be flooded with spam now 
Personaly, I would NEVER send out a mailing list. You come home from work, do your shit and then open up your inbox to expect e.mails from yoru friends .... and BAMMMMMMMM, YA GOT SPAMMED BITCH!
My theory is, support those who support you and if you support them, don't fuckin' spam them!
