This pitch, sent to “undisclosed recipients” landed in my email box this afternoon. How clueless is it? Let’s count the ways:
_ It’s addressed to Carol. Not my name.
_ it’s about a bridal fashion show. I cover Internet marketing.
_ If I did want the shots, I’d want them to be digital. And I’d want them right away, not next Tuesday.
_ The phone number in the email was picked up by a machine with a recording about materials being due by June 1st. Today is the 22nd.
_ My email, asking why I was on the list, came back as undeliverable.
Hi, Carol:
The only photography we took during the last Bridal Market here was of the DEBI Awards Gala. Will those work? There was a fashion show there and I have some runway shots. If those will be ok, I’ll be happy send some. About how many would you need? I will have to send them out today to be duplicated, but I will receive them back by Monday and can overnight them then, so you would have them by Tuesday. Just let me know!
Thanks,
Mary Beth

What does the BL stand for?
B.L. has been my nickname since I was a baby. I changed it legally many years ago.
I’ll continue to call you Carol if you don’t mind. ;)
