Targeted Marketing -- Missed by a Mile!

I got a jewelry company catalog in the mail yesterday with Rolex watches being the highlight of their offerings.

Yea, like I would ever spend $35,000 on a watch!

I don't know who they bought my name from, or what purchase I could have made that would put me on the list as a possible purchaser of such items, but do know that this "targeted marketing" attempt missed by a mile!

It actually got me thinking that I had better check my credit reports to see if someone has swiped my identity -- it just doesn't fit in with my usual targeted mailings. Maybe Northern Tool or Cabela's sold my name to this jewelry retailer?
