A company that got it right

Oct 27, 2008

I thought, since right now I feel like I am surrounded by individuals and companies who can’t do the right thing, that I’d take a moment to point out one that did.

You know all the times I griped about companies that want me to promote their products out of the goodness of my heart? The whole “Post my Post” fiasco? And how I kept saying that if they wanted to do it the right way, they’d send products for review or pay for advertising or similar?

Well, CuffLinks.com recently contacted me via another site. They asked if I would be interested in a sample for review or to use as a giveaway prize. And that was it: no strings attached. The cufflink they contacted me about was even relevant to the other site.

Unfortunately, since I don’t do product reviews there and I am certainly not going to dive into the legal morass that surrounds sweepstakes/product giveaways, I was not able to take them up on their offer.

I thought I’d mention them here, though. I don’t know them from Adam—never ordered from them, no idea what their customer service is like, no experience with their product quality. But I appreciate their professionalism when it comes to marketing their products.

And no, they haven’t paid for advertising here or anything like that. I doubt they know this blog exists. This is just the flip side of all the company gripes I like to do: when a company approaches me in a professional manner, I remember it. Favorably.

And I don’t mind saying so.
