Anyone else get this email today? Questions were about experiences at past Roos, opinion on how to improve fest and they asked about my consumer buying habits. I filled it out... do not expect to win but you never know.
I'll be the crazy 'Lono' nay sayer here and let ya'll have those tickets.
Tons of specific questions about your buying habits. No big deal. But up around question 40ish they ask specific questions about your income, sex, race etc - and then slip in the 'How shall we contact you if you win the VIP tickets?' Provide email or phone number. This now links you 'the individual' to your responses and that data can be sold to marketers. Thanks, but no thanks. Get enough spam as is. That's when i X'ed that survery and browser.
Edit - but before i X'ed out i said get rid of the vendor booths blocking the view directly in front of which stage.
I think it was an excellent email/phone number data generating scheme. THe last thing it asked was if you wanted to be emailed or called if you win the tickets. Real easy for them to take the 20,000+ people who will fill this out and sell their email/ phone number to marketers..
i was about to post this and read ^^^ that above me...
CPk - generally inclined to agree however respectfully disagree with this one. Yes they have our emails and can sell/share that - but when combined with all of the answers about your personal shopping/buying preferences that survey is a marketing gold mine. Being an IT person dealing with PHI, OPT outs third party agreements etc I look for the lines that state this information will not be shared or sold. Only thing I saw in the email is an opt-out button that allows you to say 'do not send me any more surveys'.
Have no issues with blind surveys. Ones like this appear to be collecting information for targeted marketing and I prefer not to be bothered with that. My post was meant more to be informative for people that are inclined to avoid marketing gimmicks.
I'd truly like to believe thatthe improvement suggestions are taken into consideration and an Inforooer gets VIP upgrade. : )
While most companies are out to get you, I don't care in this instance. A chance to win BONNAROO VIP tickets? You can have my email address and demographic information. I want to go to there.
You don't have to answer all those questions. Only the ones with asterisk next to it
Thank you for pointing that out CPK. Honestly did not see that! (Usually do not miss stuff like that. But we are also not usually under a tornado warning here in NE with 3 confirmed touchdowns either )
In retrospect, I should have answered each question wrong to test it out. I already get spam email. If I got spam email from ladies products, we'd know they were selling our info
And droopy.. if you are teasing me.. ok .. I very much appreciate good sarcasm And attention to detail! Makes for an amazingly fun package. That's how i found my soul mate and the LOML (one in the same) in my middlish years. I'm a sucker for a brilliant brind with a dry but fun sense of humor. And if that comment was not aimed in my direction, hope it works out for you with CPK.
waiting for my notice of VIP upgrade
