Wow. This seems like a hoax, but it isn't. An airport parking website has apologised after using a man's death to promote their services. They even offered recipients of their email a discount code!
Wow. An airport parking website has apologised after using a man’s death to promote their services.
Below is the promotional email that the site sent out, using a man’s death as its subject. There is even a discount code!
….and here’s the apology:
“We would like to sincerely apologize for the last marketing email sent that has caused frustration and grief for our customers. We strive to provide our customers with the utmost service and respect; however, we fell short on this commitment.
There is no excuse for the topic of the recent email sent to our customers, and we can only extend our deepest apologies to those disrespected by it.
We have ensured that any marketing or communication sent from our company will not contain any sensitive or offensive content of that nature. We appreciate your continued business with us and apologize once again for this unfortunate event.
Sincerely,
AirportParkingReservations.com”
