Has anyone gotten new subscriptions to Magazines that they would not have ordered? Is this a new gimmick to get you to re-new after a year? I suddenly am getting "Field & Stream" and "ESPN " Rancher
If you didn't order them, you have two choices... 1. Send them back, with a note, "Not Ordered" Returned to Sender...... On their Dime.... 2. Read them, then burn them, and all the subsequent Mailings....
Yes, it is an incentive to get you to try their product. They hope to hook you so you will renew when the frerbees stop. Common tactic.
I have the same thing going for Sports Illustrated which I have never subscribed. I drop them off at a local VFW or VA clinic.
They will send you a bill. You do t n owe anything but it's amazing how many people pay for something they didn't order. If this tactic didn't work they wouldn't use it
It's like that little worm on the end of the hook...... they just throw a couple issues out there hoping you bite. They will send you bills and notices stating your subscription is soon to be cancelled. It is a classic tactic for marketing... and as the others have stated, you are not financially obligated to respond.
I like that company that sends you renewal bills in the mail, and they "guess" at what you might be subscribing to, like I've been getting Playboy since I was old enough to, well never mind... but I get renewal notices for Sports Illustrated, Penthouse, etc but this is a new tactic, sending you free magazines....
