I just got some spam that is from a company that "specializes in the recovery and supply of assets such as generators, boilers, chillers, and transformers." They bill themselves as a scrap and salvage company.
Umm... I have no need for any of those services - and why would they think I do? I mean, how many people can they possibly expect to need those services? How much profit can they really expect to make from sending out those bulk spam emails?
If you're going to send me spam, at least send me something I can use. Like, right now, I can't find my manicure kit. Right now, an email offering to send someone over to search for it would be welcomed.
Nope... They send me spam about recovering boilers and generators.
It's like marketing has it all wrong. The only Google ad I've ever seen that interested me was one that tried to sell me barn doors. I'd have been more interested, except I already have barn doors.

Lol, was not expecting that angle to come to mind. Wouldn't that also be a service that is much more restricted than offering the product itself?

Sure, but at least it's a service I can use.
I have no idea how I lost a manicure kit. It's not like it has left the hotel. It's not like I take it around with me. It sits in my hygiene bag and a smaller kit sits in my guitar case. The smaller kit is still there, but it's just a clipper and some files.
Oh, shit... I was gonna email you to tell you 'bout this, but the gist is pretty short.
Last night, I dressed up in a suit jacket and tie. Granted, I was still wearing jeans, but I wore a jacket and tie.
And ate chicken from a box.
Yup, there were even candles and flowers on the table. Yup, there was even fancy wine - from fancy wine glasses.
Oh, and potato wedges from the oven.
And I liked it.

Yes, but how profitable is it? Given that I've only seen that one once, I'd wager it's not too profitable. Who the fuck thought it would be?!?
Most spam campaigns are done with purchased, theoretically targeted, email lists. They often also just pay for the entire thing to be done on their behalf. Well, it's retarded. I bet they get exactly zero customers from it.

I have no idea bud. Some people have more money than sense.
