273 Responses To RFP Received
Wednesday, July 22nd, 2009A request for proposal reportedly sent to ten Web publishers Monday afternoon unexpectedly received 273 replies to the email inbox of junior media planner Lane Meyer earlier today, according to several sources within the Los Angeles office of Krispy, Portly, & Bogus. The unanticipated responses were reportedly issued after one of the original recipients forwarded the RFP document to his buddy Sal at the ExpandoClick network. “What the hell, man?” said Meyer, looking over response #142 from TheKitchenSink.com. “I narrowed down my RFP list for a reason. I don’t need every idiot sending me a plan. I mean this campaign targets Moms with 2 or more kids in the household. What the hell do I need a 52-page proposal from Maxim for? And how the hell did all these people get my RFP!?” At the time of printing, Meyer reported that 43 sales reps had already followed up to see if they made the plan, and if not, how far they needed to come down on CPM’s to get the business.
