Anyone get this SeaRay Survey??

[Petep]

Well, the footsteps ventures (marketing services) for SR has done it again. This one is worse than the last one. First my e-mail gets 4 of the same. It starts off OK with: do you own a boat?, what size ?etc. then goes downhill from there. I have not copied all of it because ....you get the picture...

So when you get done and thru this set of questions you go to "rate" why you want to buy a particular boat. You have to rank these questions,this gets pretty silly. I hit delete from that point on- I guess I will not be winning the 100 bucks!

you mean you wont possibly win the hundred bucks :smt043

I got it. Thanks for the heads up. It's been deleted.

 

[BrentJones]

I actually filled it out and then I got to the end where it wanted my address and phone number, then I deleted it.

Got 3 emails today, but did not open it. Thanks for the heads up will not even waste my time.

What the heck is Sea Ray thinking anyway? :smt021

Yeah i got that same survey. Im going to win that $100 and the $40 million dollars from my long lost African relative

Yes, I got this nonsense too and its very similar to one received from Volvo a few months ago. It’s doubtful that Searay had anything to do with it. More likely, it is from a survey company that collects customer demographics and opinions and sells it to the advertising company that works for the marketing company that sub-contracts some work from Brunswick.

But it does make one wonder how they get all our e-mail addresses when they state this information will not be shared with anyone.

Yes indeed, very strange. I got it too but didn't finish it.

The survey came from footsteps.net which is the same domain the SeaRay announcements come from. It seems this survey did come directly from SeaRay so I wouldn't worry about your email address being given away... JMHO

It's from the Aquapalooza sign ups. It is from there marketing firm. The firm is in St. Louis. Terrible taglines in my opinion.

Terrible taglines in my opinion.

What do you mean, you don't like "Launch. Party.??? Even I could do better than that.

 

[skolbe]

They really played into the stereotypes of S-R owners.

Those are some of the lamest slogans I've seen in a long time. I'm in advertising and would be embarrassed to show any of those to a client, let alone to the public. In addition to being lame, they all have one other thing in common...they're generic.
