Re: Marketing - how many people DON\'T fall for simple tricks?
The logic behind newsletter/spam type email is simple. It's so cheap it just has to get a few customers to bite to turn a profit.
Also the effect of brand recognition itself is probably +ev for them to do this.
A great book if you are into this is Cialdini's Influence. It describes different techniques to influence people's thought process and the ideas are heavily used in marketing.
