Unsubscribe Harrison! Too many e mails
#1
Reluctantly I have just unsubscribed from the Harrison mailing list.

In replying to complain, very politely, to a recent deluge of Spectral Compressor mailings (I already have it in Mixbus version) - the reply more or less said - "But we've found these bombardments highly effective in selling more plugins!".....I find I can no longer tolerate this mass marketing - I'm on a very poor internet connection deep in the heart of rural France and every bit of data counts. Apart from anything else it's just not good business to market a product to someone who already has it. Someone in Harrison's marketing department needs access to the sales department data....

And, this is the reason I wasn't able to be alerted to the Mixbus 32C version 6 upgrade discount a few months ago - I remember now that I'd unsubscribed some time ago for the exact same reason - and only heard about it on the grapevine. Fortunately despite the cutoff date having passed, Harrison were good enough to let me have the coupon.

I know others have complained on here about their over-zealous marketing, and fortunately, as the product is so damn good we seem to overlook these annoyances. But a sophisticated CRM is not beyond the capabilities of a company that builds the best DAW surely? Hire someone in!

I think it's not so much over-zealous marketing and more like poor data management and filtering.
I only receive news about updates and rarely any mail for things I already own.

But from your experience it does sound like the mail filtering needs a bit of work at Harrisons end.

It's the same with newspapers I subscribed to.
There are many articles that are not interesting to me.
But some.

I bought Mixbus32C - and used it since - the very first month it was released for the first time.

Should I worry about the Mixbus32C product coming to an eventual end, as this 'sounds' like a desperate corporate move:

I would be happy in this rotten globalized world if my only biggest problem were the dally emails from Harrison.
Unfortunately we are facing a billion times bigger programs.

100% agree.
It needs 3 mouse clicks to delete them.
It needs much more to complain about here.

... Blissfully not wondering if the company is about to go under. Same applies to Till's subsequent comment.

And giving them a hard time about emails is surely helping heaps, right?
As Tassy said: if only emails were a problem...
