Boots Letter

Butlers1982

Not sure where to post this so ive decided to put it here

Im just after some advise really

Recieved a letter today off Boots about an aftershave promotion. It is addressed to me a MR but the opening line reads

WE KNOW YOU LIKE TO TREAT YOUR MAN NOW AND AGAIN. HERES SOMETHING YOULL BOTH LOVE.

I just think this is out of order for them to send a letter addressed to me personally yet open the start of the letter like that, no one should presume someones sexuality.

Anyone any ideas on what I should do and what i should ask for.

It has really annoyed me!

Maybe check that on your registration you haven't clicked 'female' as these mailing lists will be automated.

Write to their head office and say what you've said here.
I wouldn't expect anything other than an apology, but someone should point out that these kind of general mailings are inappropriate for millions of their customers.

I really don't think they are presuming what sexuality you are, more like a genuine mistake on their database. I am a Mrs who bought her last new car from Citroen, all the marketing mailshots I now receive from Citroen come addressed to MR. I choose to ignore it rather than think hey are they saying I look like a bloke. Maybe I should sue them or my Mum as she is their marketing manager.................

I got this this morning too but I do buy my hubby stuff from Boots so they probably see this. It's only a sample of aftershave but nice thought.

However, I would say chill out. There are wars going on, people starving, people dying everyday and your moaning coz someone put MR on your letter!

What is sooooo bad????

The Boots letter sounds fine, but obviously missed the bit about making sure the house is nice & clean/dusted & a tasty meal ready on the table for your man when he gets home.

I think you should ask them to add it in - it's an obvious mistake.

come on....just look at whats happening in lebanon. Surely there are more important issues to focus in on!
