Northwest Herald Calls 4th Time in Two Weeks

The Northwest Herald has engaged a call center in Minnesota to call local non-subscribers with a low-cost, introductory offer to its paper.

I have gotten three calls in about the last two weeks.

The first offer was $1.60 for Friday, Saturday and Sunday.  Maybe Thursday was included as well.

I told the polite young man that was not as good as the last time I subscribed.  Then, it was a penny for six months that turned out to be seven or maybe even a bit more.

The other three calls offered me the whole week for $2.50 a week for ten weeks.

As one young man said, “Ten weeks for $25.”

People who work in call centers have really tough jobs.

I always tell them that.

There is tremendous turnover because of the constant rejection.

Anyone else getting calls like this?

  1. They called me three times in two weeks, even though I told the first person that I did not wish to subscribe. I guess they can call me because I was a previous customer. Next time I might just have to tell them to put me on the Do Not Call List. Then, when they call again, I’ll just invoice them for $5,000 for each call.
