A Scholarship Voucher
I received a telephone call from a guy who did not identify clearly where he was calling from. He asked if I already picked up the scholarship voucher reserved for me as one of the lucky names chosen to receive this promotional gift. I said not yet because I am not interested. The guy insisted that the voucher was purely promotional and that I would not be required to buy or pay anything when I pick it up. Because of his convincing skills, I went to his office to pick up the gift.
The reason I was indifferent at first is I had several experiences about this promotion thing in the past. One was an accident insurance for P50,000 which was good for a day. Would you hope to meet an accident so that you could use the insurance? Another was a vacation for 2 package which took us 4 hours to listen to their advertisement before I was asked to draw a rolled paper saying "Better luck next time".
I was surprised with the new experience because the scholarship voucher was really reserved for me. Now I can say that not all promotional sales are bad. I am glad I can let my niece attend a two-year course in a computer school.
