Impersonal Marketing Emails

I've been getting many emails for the promo pricing on Vegas Pro 17 - it is a great promo but these emails look really impersonal and there is not a single word about the current situation. All other promo emails from other companies did have a customized message... Even something simple like here is a promo to help you make the best of your isolation would go a long way IMO.

Frankly, I can do without all the sympathy marketing clogging up my Inbox -- it's insipid and not reflective of their true intent.

I understand your point, but I have to agree with MusicVid... these marketing emails that are all "we're here to help you make it through this crisis... buy our product! Give us what little money you have! Here's a little discount to make it sting a little bit less." don't come across as genuine to me.

Magix emails and discounts are all the same but I've seen some nice initiatives though: 1) reset all trial licenses 2) special discount... Affinity (Serif) is a good example... They reset all their 90 day trials and discounted everything 50% (which only happens usually on black friday). If you have time on your hand then at least you can get an opinion on the software. The other part is that Magix marketing emails do really feel like coming from a robot. Doesn't take a lot of a time to hand craft a message.
