More fun with Thames Clippers’ communications

Honestly I love Thames Clippers I do. I am put instantly into a good mood the minute I step onto any of their fleet and to be honest I???m pretty cheerful once at the pier at the expectation of stepping onto one of their ferries and floating home to Greenwich.

Their communications are less inspiring though, although they do make me laugh. This one in particular with its exhortations to readers to follow on Twitter but no indication as to how one might do that.

This isn???t an isolated incident and I fear I may have bored everyone who reads this Posterous with my frequent bleats on the topic 😉

At least they???re stopping at Bankside these days which is a little bit wonderful.

Not even a clickable web address though <mutter mutter> …. Here???s my advice to businesses that have e-newsletters

P.S. In the email below I???ve deleted the one active link (which permits you to unsubscribe) and a clickable image that takes you to the website of the company which, like MailChimp, handles email lists. There remains only text and not a single active link within it for keener readers.
