Re: Black Friday: SWFA SS HD 5-20x50 Non Illuminated
<div class="ubbcode-block"><div class="ubbcode-header">Originally Posted By: aard3</div><div class="ubbcode-body">First off I'd like to say that I am a swfa customer, and I have always appreciated their great customer service.
Second, I'm a lurked here, and not very often do I decide to make a post... But I figured I'd I though my .02 cents in here.
Ill admit that I signed up for the email blast to check out the deal...The package to me looks like a good deal...it wasn't what I was looking for so I didn't buy it... No problem. There are lots of bf deals I didn't buy.
What did bother me a little bit, and I would like to see swfa address is that they very clearly stated that the deal was an "exclusive" deal for email members...
"An email blast will go out to our email subscribers with the full details and will only be available to our email subscribers."
Swfa in the previous post stated that they didn't mean to put it up on the website before the email went out, but I think it's pretty clear they meant to open it up for everone... Which is fine if that's what they want to do, but don't lie to me and tell me I have to signup for an email list... Just tell me "check ur website on the 25th"
Bottom line is that they want people to be on their mailing list... I don't think they would sell the list, but let's face the facts, email address are a commodity and marketing tool. There is a value to having a list of people's emails that are interested in the products you sell!
I know this might be small potatoes to some of you, but to me it's deceitful, and I would sure like an explanation.

Here is your explanation. SWFA would love to sell you something useful that you will enjoy owning. If you have no interest in their products thats OK. I find that my personal email gets flooded with adds from Midwayusa, Brownells, Brownells LE, Creedmore Sports and the list goes on. But I find that only rarely possibly once a month will I get an email from SWFA with specials, if I'm not interested I delete it. They do not sell the list. If you have no interest in being on their email list call them and ask to be removed from the list. Quite frankly the Snipers Hide Forum members have been provided with information and specials like the group buy on the 5-20 SS even before the information was even available to me as a Moderator on SWFA's own forum Opticstalk.com . <span style="font-weight: bold">The buying power of the Snipers Hide Forum Members is recognised and appreciated.
THANK YOU.</span>
