Caravans and cruises

By Adrian Seal on Aug 15, 07 10:12 AM

How many Gazette readers have caravans?

To be honest I don't know and I am not sure I really need to know or care too much.

However, there is someone out there who clearly thinks it's important to Gazette readers. My inbox has been bombarded with press releases warning local caravan owners of severe weather and the potential dangers on the road as they drive off with their caravans for a summer break.

Of course, there will be no mention of it in this week's Gazette and when you actually read the press release it's no more than a massive plug for a company urging caravan owners to check their tyres before setting off.

While on the subject of emails another 'interesting' one to arrive informed me that former darts gods Keith Deller and Eric Bristow are now plying their trade by entertaining people on a minicruise between Hull and Rotterdam.

I for one will not be booking a place on the cruise and I definitely will not be going on a caravan holiday so both emails have now been safely deleted.

Press releases are always massive plugs. How many does The Gazette get sent on an average day, and how many actually end up in print? Less than 2 per cent I would guess? But for those sending the releases that 2 per cent hit-rate equates to some valuable advertising space, so they'll probably keep bombarding your inbox.
