How about compiling your own special offers from companies that are outside
the US specifically for mug members outside the US?
I'm fed up reading posts from mug members who think Apple owes them
something just because they're a fan of the brand. Just ask any mug leader
whose been turned down for some Apple logo'd items to use as giveaways to
the membership. To Apple, we're a marketing tool.
Here's why I think most offers for mug members are US centric: first, the
overwhelming majority of mug members live in the US. Second, it's too
friggin' expensive to ship anything of value outside the US because of
transportation and tariffs, that by the time you had to pay all that, when
it finally got to you, the deal isn't so special anymore.
So back to my original admonition, I'm sure the mug members that are outside
the US would appreciate it if someone from outside the US would take the
lead, develop contacts with companies outside the US, negotiate special
deals for mug members outside the US, then communicate them with all the
non-US mug members.
Nigel, are you that leader?
