In the past 2 years consecutively, my friend has gotten two calls from Victorias Secret, wanting to know if she would like to participate in a bra study. During these trials, a customer is sent a new style of bra, in her size, for free, to keep. All she has to do is wear it for a month. At the end of the trial period, a VS associate calls and asks questions about what she liked/didnt like about the bra. Has anyone ever heard of this, or took part in one of these before?
What boggles me is that we are both Angels credit card account holders, but I have had mine for 3 years longer and spent more money than she. Wouldnt a company want to extend this special promotion to its best customers? Yes, I am a bit jealous, and bitter. But I just want to know how they choose the participants. We are pretty much the same when it comes to demographics. We live in the same town, and are the same age. Neither of us are an unusual size. Neither of us have ever worked for VS or one of its sister stores, nor do we have any affiliates with the company.
I tried e-mailing customer service, but of course, no response, as this is probably supposed to be a secret! I didnt think anything of it when she got the call the first time, assuming it was just purely random, and luck on her part. But the second time around, I was a bit annoyed, because she got $80 worth of free bras, for only buying things when she gets coupons (which she pretty much gets every coupon they issue, whereas half the coupons I get are actually issued to my father!).
I guess it actually pays to only purchase things a couple times a year, instead of monthly, so they start offering things to keep you as a customer .
