I opted in to get the occassional email "that may be of interest to you" type thing.

Today I receive an email with a link to this

Inviting me to become a sales rep to sell caravans.  

FFS Magicalia get a grip.

Needless to say I've opted out of everthing

I see it as a necessary overhead for a pretty good and free forum that I enjoy. Licence fee or adverts.

I didn't follow the link in the email.  I thought it was just an advert selling the little caravans.  It got deleted without much thought.

You received our promo email because you "opted in" to receive emails and promo material related to new products at Outdoors magic.

Thank you to all for your feedback on the Splash. We aim to meet the needs of our fellow camping enthusiasts and will take your comments into serious consideration as we constantly improve our products"

I don't get much spam from OM at all, those caravans are actually advertised on the site.. and I reckon they look pretty good.

Dear Camp-Runner Web Communities Ambassador

For a supposed 'Ambassador', you don't have a very diplomatic way of putting your point across...

I think it might have been more diplomatic to have started with an apology to anyone who might have been offended by your emailshot, and then explained how & why the email list was created.  As it stands your comment sounds rather like: "well you signed up to OM's T&Cs, so TFS; you're getting our email"...

I havent "opted in" so I dont get the emails...

That said,  looks like a handy wee calf or sheep trailer.

For anyone thinking of buying one. Remember the salesman is on 500 commision, so demand at least 450 off. Leave him 50 for his trouble.

Sadly Mike they are on 'comission' so perhaps they should have put some of that 500 Euro to one side to get someone who could spell to do their advertising?

Dear Gneiss Boots,

THANK YOU SO MUCH for alerting us to the mistake on our advertisement!!!

Unfortunately, it was the Outdoors Magic Ad designers who blew it this time!

Do you think they'll give us a discount?

Hi GOF:
My humor was too subtle...Sorry.

That video is actually pretty funny and somewhat appropriate as Camp-Runner is truly international and now operating in France, Holland, Germany, and now the UK!

It's such a pleasure to find people all over the world who share a passion for the outdoors but who are also fluent in more than one language!

I agree, being multi-lingual is so important in today's world!

What other languages do you speak?

Do you travel much for your outdoor adventures?

Does anyone have any other type of micro-caravan? And can you tell me how it compares to our product in terms of specific features, etc...

Just curious. Thanks!
