Vitacost pulled its ads from Rush Limbaugh -- looking for new vitamin supplier

self | NewJerseyJoe

[dps.inspect]

who the hell is Vitacost... have never heard a commercial with that name in it before...

[Hot Tabasco]

Was it the ‘sincere’ apology worth it, Rush?

Hey Mikey, take your rant over to one of the current Rush threads and join in the Rush bashing there.

This thread is about NewJerseyJoe trying to find a new vitamin outlet fer cryin out loud.........

[Outlaw Woman]

Rush was quite clear today and said it was ‘beneath’ him to use the language of the left. It was another slap at the left while reclaiming his dignity. He’s a class act; during that monologue he was very clear and spot on in his description of the leftists/marxists and about their agenda for us.

He no doubt had new listeners today. He might have even made some think. That’s how we will win; using the comparisons at every turn.

Because he showed that it’s all rolling off him like water on a duck’s back, the left will go into spasms but Rush did deflate their balloon.

He’ll get more sponsors. Any business that is a competitor of the cowards and understands marketing, will see what a prime opportunity this is for them. Rush’s audience is well educated and they spend their money wisely. Like Rush said, they just closed the door on the access they had to his audience. Too bad for them.

does the CEO have a public email address?

[Marie Antoinette]

I mostly use luckyvitamin.com anymore, but I will go ahead and unsubscribe from vitacost emails now.

I am a customer of this company. I just sent them this message:

I am very dissapointed that you have dropped Rush’s program. I am one of your long-time customers and I may have to drop you.

Did you need assistance with this order?

[04:17:21pm] you:

I just wanted to know if you could verify my orders from the last year: April 1, 2011 through today. I looked through my account and I’ve spent $1133.45. Can you verify this?

[04:17:49pm] Jennifer :

Sure. It will be a few moments while calculate this for you.

[04:17:55pm] you:

Thanks!

[04:22:11pm] Jennifer :

It will be just a few more moments please.

[04:24:54pm] Jennifer :

Thank you for your patience. I apologize for the delay. Including telephone orders that are not housed on the website, I see total orders coming to $1383.6 from April 1, 2011 - March 5, 2012.

[04:27:20pm] you:

Thank you. I want the proper info ready because I am emailing an official complaint regarding Vitacost dropping their ads from the Rush Limbaugh show. I want the company to know exactly how much business they are losing. Is there a canned response from Vitacost regarding their actions?

[04:27:43pm] Jennifer :

We’d like to address an issue with our radio ads — one of which aired on the Rush Limbaugh radio show. To put it frankly, Mr. Limbaugh’s recent comments have been unsettling, and many of our fans have voiced concern that Vitacost endorses these views. These comments are definitely not in line with our brand values, and in listening to our fans we’ve decided to remove our advertising from the program.

[04:28:04pm] Jennifer :

That is our official statement regarding this matter.

[04:29:28pm] you:

Values? Wow. What about the values that Fluke is endorsing. Thank you for the info. Please no longer consider us customers.

[04:29:45pm] Jennifer :

You’re very welcome. Thank you for contacting Vitacost.com and have a nice day.

[04:29:46pm] Jennifer has left.

[04:29:46pm] Session Ended.

Finally, someone on the long list of advertisers that I can boycott. Not having done any business, nor having planned to do any business, with Sleep Train, QuickenLoans, Carbonite, ProFlowers, etc - I'd have been deceitful if I contacted those Companies and told them that their decision to succumb to leftist agitators caused me to take my business elsewhere. Not so with Vitacost. I'll send them an email. Besides, internet discount vitamin shops are a dime a dozen.

Been using them for years. Economical, with good results.

[petercooper]

He was very clever the way he came out today and said a few times-the advertisers have lost access to the listeners and their business. He didn’t come right out and say stop buying from these companies, but you could read betweeen the lines.

[Cricket24]

Vitacost? That ticks me off. I buy a lot from them. No MORE! I am off to email them now!

[pogo101]

I like your pointed request, before telling them your heave-ho, for your cumulative order total. Nice.

[Cricket24]

Curious...where did you see that they had pulled their advertizing?

[FedsRStealingOurCountryFromUs]

The advertisers who canceled will find out how large Rush’s audience is! LOL

[FedsRStealingOurCountryFromUs]

How about VitaMix? They make the best juicers around!

I sell liquid vitamins and have been taking them for about 10 years as well as my family. Body Balance is the base product. It's a multi vitamin/mineral/amino acid. Lots of good products. http://www.lifeforce.net/8070701. We need a place for all FReepers who have a business. Any ideas?

[spacejunkie2001]

I am crushed over this. I have literally spent thousands of dollars there, just in the last 12 months! OMG. I just sent them a goodbye letter.

How truly disappointing.
