It’s a great product – but I really don’t think my Mother will use an iPod touch, and I really don’t think Mothers day in an economic downturn is the time for Kiwis to give expensive presents.
However the email is so nice that you just want to click:
Apple just gets these promotion emails exactly right – you can tell there is considerable design and language effort that goes into them. Let’s have a look at a few from the last year or two. I challenge you not to go to the Apple store and peruse some of the goodies on display.
While you are looking – think about your own personal and business emails. Are they up to standard? Are they reflecting what you want your company to reflect?
Trade Me can hold their head high (e.g. Mod’s Motors is beautifully written and produced) but not many others come close to this. Why not give it a go?

The thing about MOD’s Motors is that it speaks in a real voice, not in PR speak. And it has a bit of mongrel in it. (I bet Peugeot and Ford aren’t that keen on it) I’m not really into cars, but enjoy MOD’s each month. Around work we were surprised that Fairfax let it continue.
Winding Road at Ebay by comparison just feels like Sales Spiel.
