Like Lemmings Off a Cliff

I had posted earlier about the odd feeling of the marketing offer to be treated like a GM employee during the midst of huge GM employee layoffs. Apparently, this didn’t phase too many people as the “GM Employee Discount for Everyone” promo has apparently been a huge success.
Now Ford and Chrysler are jumping on the employee discount bandwagon as well. Automotive marketer Peter M. DeLorenzo makes some good points why this is a bad idea in this article.
ALL Messages are Ad Messages

GM announced this week that they’re laying off 25,000 of their employees.
GM is running an ad campiagn this week that offers to treat you like an employee by offering the Option1 Employee Discount to everyone.
Do I want to be treated like a GM employee?
All of your marketing messages must agree with each other….even if some of those messages aren’t being paid for.
