No I Will Not Vote For You!

It is that time of year again, merchants are begging for us to vote for them in the Linkshare Golden Link Awards.
I have lost count the number of emails from Personalization Mall begging for our vote.
I don’t need more spam.
If you have something important to tell me regarding your program, great. But to get so many emails just begging for votes is sad.
I will vote for who I feel is worthy, not who spams me the most. Emailing me begging for my vote makes me for sure not want to vote for you.
It is one thing to mention it in your regular email full of other important information, but these emails have only been “Vote for Us” and nothing else.

    I enjoyed your post, Connie, as it’s very telling. The truth often is.

    Is anyone other than myself embarrassed for the industry when it has to resort to sophomoric popularity contests?
