Who is your favorite artist sponsored by?
Are you more likely to buy that product?

I don't think I even know who my favorite artists are sponsored by. I guess that means either I don't pay enough attention, or it isn't extremely noticeable to me. However, with few that I can think of, it doesn't really make me want to buy their items. It's just something I notice and move on from. 

Email Promotions

At most businesses, especially retail businesses, we are often asked to give our email address for coupons and other promotional information. It's a good idea as far as marketing goes. The more coupons or sale information a customer gets, the more likely they are to shop at the business. But how often do we really read these emails? I myself have signed up for a few business email lists, but when I get these emails I usually just delete them before I read them. Part of me thinks that it's great they're having a sale, but I'm sure I'll get another email next week with information about a different sale. These emails usually end up in the deleted folder pretty quickly, so how affective are they really?

Do you pay more attention to the emails you receive from companies? How affective do you think email promotions are?
