In marketing, mailers almost always get under 10% response rate- some hover between 2-5%, and this campaign got 32%.But, to me, the idea seems really intrusive, and would be a guarantee that I'd never do business with the company. I might check the website to see who the heck was at my house (which for their statistical purposes counts as a response), but I'd be really put off by the company. The advertising agency says not one person called to complain. How do you think you'd respond to an ad like that?https://www.thestar.com/news/gta/2012/07/31/toronto_area_porsche_dealership_parks_car_near_driveways_of_affluent_homes_in_instant_direct_marketing.html less

You keep your sensibilities/sensitivities/beliefs intact and don't sell your soul to make money. It would be a rather unwieldy system and cost a lot and take a lot of time but y'all would be comforted in the knowledge that those whom you hate would NEVER have access to anything you make. Problem solved?

You don't ask them to fill out forms giving you any personal information like whom they love or what kind of lifestyle they live. It's none of your business to begin with and what does it matter?

They DECREASE them because automation increases and the need for human workers decreases. BRILLIANT. Whatcha think?
