Russell Stover Part 2 - The Goods

The lovely men and women of Russell Stover's have responded to my request. Specifically Cari an E-Commerce manager for Russell Stover's Candies. Again I am amazed by the quickness of their response. When I started this I never thought I'd get responses back so quick, I envisioned waiting and waiting and resending requests ad infinitum. You know companies are on the right track when they take the time to write a personal response back to the "little guy".

The EMAIL:
--------------------------------------------------
From: Cari
Subject: A Request From a Fan of Your Candies

Hi Greg-

First, I appreciate your blogging efforts. I saw you just started, so I can only imagine what it will look like in a year or two. In any case, I have sent you a couple of our products. One is a new product by Whitman's (which we own) and it's an effort to modernize the brand. It includes chocolates for an "adventurous" palate. I'll be curious what you have to say about them. I believe you're also getting an Elvis Valentine tin just because I think they are cool.

Good luck-
Cari
--------------------------------------------------

Thanks again Cari this is above and beyond what I expected. Readers- Remember Russell Stover's next Valentine's Day. And Cari? Maybe you can get Russell Stover's to make a Singles Awareness Day chocolate box for those among us who aren't paired up.

Pictures will be posted as soon as the chocolates arrive.

Hello. Why have you added me to your friends list, if I may ask? It does not seem as if we have anything in common, and I do not know you. I don't mean to come across as hostile; it's just that my blog is pretty much friends only, and I can't really see why I would add you back. Thank you.

That's not a hostile question at all, and you have every right to question why I added you. I just started this so-called "project" blog and was trying to drum up some interest. To do so I friended people that shared at least one thing in my interest list. There's no need to add me back and I understand if your blog is friends only. I can take you off my f-list if you want me too. Thanks :)

Oh, I see. "Defenestration." Thank you for being so polite about this; I think I would prefer if you removed me from your friends list. It's nothing personal against you, I hope you understand, simply that my journal is that--a personal journal.

Thank you again.
