CPC advertising let down by service

I texted the number at the end of the TV advert for a catalogue. I got an immediate text back thanking me for my interest and saying they would contact me soon for address details. Five days later and I’ve still heard nothing.

I wonder how CPC Farnell measure the return on investment from their TV advertising? It may be by the increase in market share of their competitors…I’ve just got what I needed from Screwfix.

  2. Well done, CPC. A speedy pick up of a blog post. I might end up being a CPC customer yet.

  3. A happy end to the story:

    I’ve now got catalogues from CPC.

    It turns out they did try and contact me, but they left no message. I failed to guess that the 08*** number was them.

    Angela says that they have changed the process at their end so this shouldn’t happen again.
