IKEA Pulls Spam Marketing Plan
from the thank-goodness dept
It was just a few days ago that Dan posted a story about IKEA's plan to have people spam each other about the opening (in fact, Dan lived up to his end of the bargain and spammed me). Fortunately, many folks saw through IKEA's plan and complained that they were encouraging spam, and so IKEA has cancelled the program. Dan, I hope you got your $75 already.
Thank you for reading this Techdirt post. With so many things competing for everyone’s attention these days, we really appreciate you giving us your time. We work hard every day to put quality content out there for our community.
Techdirt is one of the few remaining truly independent media outlets. We do not have a giant corporation behind us, and we rely heavily on our community to support us, in an age when advertisers are increasingly uninterested in sponsoring small, independent sites — especially a site like ours that is unwilling to pull punches in its reporting and analysis.
While other websites have resorted to paywalls, registration requirements, and increasingly annoying/intrusive advertising, we have always kept Techdirt open and available to anyone. But in order to continue doing so, we need your support. We offer a variety of ways for our readers to support us, from direct donations to special subscriptions and cool merchandise — and every little bit helps. Thank you.
–The Techdirt Team
