Smile Email : Driven by Falcon

I got an email from FORD about the XR6 Limited Edition. I clicked on the small video link : Driven By Falcon..an engineer explains the Ecolpi, Ecoboost, I6 and the Turbo engine. Scrolling thru the link are Driven by Innovation, Driven by Passion etc. website is very well done.
But, unless people go to the website, no one will know about the Falcon !!
FORD ADVERTISE !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

umm, you knew about it, after receiving an email. everyone on fords extensive database of names would have received an email and it cost them nothing. word of mouth will sell much many more products than a very expensive tv advert.

if you ask me, it looks like ford is spending its tv advertising dollars on the segments that are selling cars, and why wouldn't you.

just because advertising isn't obvious, doesn't mean it isn't happening via other avenues.
