| Such a tired posting | Nov 13, 2013 |
Dear Lucia,
I wouldn't write this if ProZ wouldn't peddle their own and third party marketing services. How can ProZ pretend to be a global marketing specialist and publish this text?
Reread the text and apologise, like my first copywriting mentor taught me. Or suppress any discussion and ban this reply.
We deserve better marketing,
Gerard

Hello Gerard,
Thanks for posting. I'm sorry that you don't like the campaign text. Note that, for the most part, the announcement is directed at those who may be considering membership but have not yet purchased.
Please, feel free to send me a line through the support center with what you find objectionable in the text so that I can take it into account in future campaigns. Thanks!

I'd rather discuss the quality of this posting in public. Every time I read the copy I get bored within 20 seconds. There is, of course, nothing objectionable in the text but it is bad writing, even for foreigners.
Cheers,
Gerard
