Home sonic promo

[frenchtower]

hi guys


marketing from home sonic in manila called me up they told me that i was selected among the few to claim the prize, and i asked them i did not join any raffles , and where did they get my number they told me they are tie up in telecoms for their incoming anniversary. so the raffle ticket is actually my landline number , they provide me the control number which im going to present that control number to the HOme sonic here ,
well to make the story short

1. went to home sonic, provide 2 IDs and the control number (for the prize)
2. well of course its a marketing strategy blah blah blah about the products .3. my control number = prize

my prize = eye massager
aside from my prize they verify also my control number .. it has the last 3 digits that tells if you are qualified for extra bonuses
- I pick up again form of envelope that contain whatever bonus is
guess what my bonuses
- worth 56 thou of entertainment system (5.1 surround system)
- worth 11 thou of beauty massager
- worth 5 thou of rice cooker ( 4 in 1, fry, steam, etc.. )
- worth 15 thou of utensils (spoon / knife / ) -
- 2, 00 pesos gift certificate

here's the catch
to avail the bonuses i have to buy from them on that day using the gift certificate


so i got really excited so I pick the water purifier (the 6 stages )
cost about 46k , s 46k - 2k (my gift cert) = 44k
damn.. i have to purchase worth 44k just to avail of those

- then my wife came and we talked about it well. think thik think think
after a few minutes we decided to purchase the water purifier and that give me idea putting up water station (YES, 2nd business )


not bad 44k for
water purifier / entertainment system / beauty massager / rice cooker ( 4 in 1 ) , utensils ,


do you think its a good catch ?

Question: Are those so-called prizes top electronic brands or just run-of-the-mill types?

It feels like buy-one take-one (or more), except that they make you believe that you are only buying a single item.

Remember that this is a marketing gimmick and the other end have already determined how much profit they will get on each transaction.

If you feel like a winner on this deal, then you probably are. Congrats
