Sounds like he is winning. Getting free publicity and now using it as fundraising. "We're losing but also winning and your donation now can put us over the top!" pitch for send money now sound familiar to anyone else?

“Penzey said Friday that while his anti-Republican rant cost him 40,005 mail-order subscribers, it brought in 30,000 new ones.”

We all know a new customer procured by political ranting is not the same as a long term satisfied customer. And this does not account for customers, like me, that no longer buy from him and never told him…

I guess I took it as if 40,005 subscribers is 3% of of your base and you get 30,000 of them back, why are you asking people to by gift cards? That is less than 2% of their subscribers. Just seems they aren’t telling the whole story or doing damage control. I could be wrong.

It's a fundraiser marketing by narrative building. Here's the format:

We're losing and need your support.
But we're also winning, so supporting us is supporting a winning team.
Supporting us means sticking it to them. Them is your enemy.


PACs and lobbyist groups use the same format constantly. Sometimes with fundraising letters or marketing campaigns, sometimes with push polls. Why? It works.

My SIL just received this coupon in her email from Penseys spices.

They will never receive my business again....never really shopped there before but never now!

That email was the first i've ever noticed, well I guess I should have known, there is a shop in Naperville, IL and during summer 2020 their windows were filled with marxist BLM crap, should have realized then. Well screw'em, brainwashed fools.

It is called Spice House, link posted in this thread.

hey great and thanks for letting me know, I will look into them. Pretty sure I've heard about them before.

Bill Penzey Jr is a miserable leftist who calls his customers names in messages if they disagree with his leftism. I have read the story of how after his family trained and educated him the family business was not big enough for him so the went into competition with his own family. Cannot find a detailed story on the true family turmoil. I now buy from Spice House his apolitical sister and her husband. The service is great. In fact the first time I called I said I wanted to buy new jars because I could not stand to see that jackasses name on the bottle and the rep said don’t throw them away, we will send you free new labels to cover them with. LOL!

I went into their store once and was less than impressed. That was over a decade ago now.

The spices are good and reasonably priced but I get better spices and service fro The Spice House way better than the grocery store. But, one must cook and know how to use good spices to get it.

WTHR just showed Kamala being interviewed in Penzey's talking about the Cheneys' endorsement. Just happened to notice the employee's apron and it had the name on it.

I'll agree to boycott everything but their worlds greatest pepper. Otherwise I'm on board, but the pepper is non negotiable. Stuff is incredible.

It's nothing new, the family has been split for decades now.
