It’s All About Marketing
Do you ever get the feeling that the Letters to the Editor are made up just for marketing purposes, to “leak” some news about upcoming events? We sure do. It seems these days that the Letters to the Editor always contain a few obligatory letters asking (out of the blue to some) for new games, mini items, special badges, or mini pets and — oh shocker! — the Editor always seems to have the right answer, that these items are in fact coming soon.
For example, the badge to the right was just created by Pogo’s artists and obviously will be given out to Club Pogo members to celebrate Club Pogo UK’s 1st birthday (September 25, btw). Shortly thereafter, out comes this week’s UK Letters to the Editor which has a very perceptive and inquisitive Martin asking “Seeing as Pogo UK is going from strength to strength and we now have a Club Pogo UK, will we be able to have a UK birthday badge as well as the USA one?” Coincidence? We think not. At least we know from the Editor’s response that the badge will be given to all Club Pogo members on Club Pogo UK’s 1st birthday, not just our friends across the pond.
With that said, there will probably also be a Cavalier King Charles Spaniel and some UK-related mini items coming with the special badge around the end of September.
