Advertizing Fail

[digitaldiscipline]

Dear Allstate Insurance:

I was intrigued by your postcard, which suggests I could save a not-insubstantial amount of money should I switch from my current provider to you.

However, sending me the pre-printed version with the generic information is singularly useless:

Johnathan Agent
123 Main Street
Suite 100
(309) 123-4567
John.Agent@Allstate.com
www.agentwebaddress.com

FAIL.

I will, however, make use of the 800 number to opt out of future mailings, if only to save the world some trees, and your company some embarrassment.

I am curious as to why they use 309 for the area code which just happens to be my mom's area code in BFE Illinois.

Peoria, woo.

Hmm. I'm a little surprised that you aren't a current Allstate customer. It would make the irony that much more delicious.
