You are the mighty Gillette corporation. You wish to promote your Mach 3 Turbo razor. You send free razors in the mail on an unsolicited basis. Guess what? There is <a href="http://www.freerazor.com">another company out there</a> that is giving away YOUR razors for free. It turns out that they are pretty aggressive- they ask consumers for their credit card number when they sign up. Those who sign up get eight replacement blades every two months. [You can sign up five friends and not pay for life, by the way.] You know what? There is nothing you[i.e., Gillette] can do about it. Oh, what's a company to do? You start calling them <a href="http://www.adage.com/news.cms?newsId=37097">renegade </a>and urge consumers to complain to state authorities. Will consumers care enough to complain? tag:metafilter.com,2003:site.25257 Mon, 21 Apr 2003 07:40:26 -0800 freebies freerazor gilette mach3 razor SandeepKrishnamurthy
