The NatGeo Marketing Arm Needs to Give Me a Break!
If you like getting phone calls while you eat dinner, order National Geographic. While I was looking forward to the great photography, I regret ordering a subscription to NatGeo. Be warned, they will call you while you eat, to pitch "we will you send you a free world map, and a video and if you choose to keep the video, we will only charge you $.$$"
After a long day of answering phones at work, I don't want my home phone to ring. But NatGeo will call, they will call again, sometimes they'll just hang up on you, sometimes they'll pitch a product.
With many print publications dying off due to the internet, it's amazing that NatGeo is driving customers away by becoming a 400 lb gorilla.
And if they call my house again, I will cancel my subscription, take the loss and call it a lesson learned. (and then begin reporting to the no phone sales administration.
Really sick of it.
