In 2013, Sideshow Collectibles won Mother’s Day with this email
In lieu of the standard Mother’s Day greeting, I decided to share
this, a little diddy I saved back in 2013. At the time, Sideshow
Collectibles sent out an email newsletter promoting a Mother’s Day
giveaway that still makes me laugh. Here’s the full story, with image.
Sideshow
always offers some fantastic giveaways, but back in 2013, someone got
the brilliant idea of pairing a Mother’s Day giveaway with a Dark Lord
of the Sith. Which makes total sense.
The giveaway
worked like this: Sideshow Collectibles would send flowers to the
winner’s mother. The winner would get a Darth Maul statue. The best
part, however, was the graphic Sideshow Collectibles used in the email.
Observe:
My only regret in life is not winning this contest.
Happy Mother’s Day!
