I am signed up for offers from Arriva Trains and have just received an email from them advertising their Club 55 as being available. However, the days it is available is from September 6th to November 1st, so they are just letting those who have opted to be told about it one and a half months after the offer started and just two weeks before it finishes!
Geeze ... you sometimes wonder at offers that are available but not publicised.
Mind you, I recall from summer 2011 getting loads of sh*t from potential customers who had missed our Weymouth Sunday specials because we had only done limited publicity. A number of people took me to one side - not realising that I was the one controlling how much we advertised, and told me what our poor job our publicity person had done ... odd feeling was that. Funny thing though - the trains were at maximum length (and longer!) and packed to full, standing, and uncomfortable every Sunday; the decision to limit promotion was done to limit demand to supply. Perhaps the same thing in Wales? Busy trains until now, but they're a bit quieter as we draw into autumn to more publicity works. Just a thought?
Reminds me to tell members I saw Club 50 advertised in Scottish trains last week
