Triton: our new mail order house
We are pleased to introduce Triton Products Company as the new authorized Infocom direct marketing center. Veterans in the field of phone and mail orders and fulfillment, Triton, in the words of Vice President Terry Miller, "hopes to be the best darn direct marketing company you’ve ever seen." Triton was recently acquired by Activision to become the company’s direct marketing specialists.
You'll notice lots of changes in this issue of The Status Line, and most of those are through the expertise and the good graces of Triton, our new corporate cousins. Just open to the center of the newsletter, and you'll see some of the changes immediately: a postage-paid envelope, special coupons and offers, clear concise ordering instructions, and who knows what else.
But the more you deal with Triton, the more changes you'll see. They have twenty-five (count them—25!) incoming WATS lines, so they can handle all your phone calls, plus those of your friends, your best friend's little sisters, and even your mother's dentist's cousin's nephew that lives in Hollywood and was in that movie, oh-what-was-it-called-again?
In a rush for that new title? In desperate need for those InvisiClues? Well, fear no more! Triton can get them to you in 48 hours (domestic only). For a fee, you can request 2nd day air delivery, and you'll get your order before you can run a 10k race, read War and Peace, and watch a Three Stooges Marathon. And Triton even offers C.O.D. service! (That's Cash On Delivery, not some famous Boston fish.)
Plus, Triton tells us they have the best telephone operators in the entire world. They're kind, they're knowledgeable, they're considerate, they're helpful, and they're friendly. And they're sitting in a luxurious telephone room in Foster City, California, just waiting for you to pick up your telephone and dial that 1-800 number.
But the best part, by far, is for you bizillions of New Jersey residents who won't have to pay 6% sales tax when you order something through Triton. (Unfortunately, if you live in California, such duty now falls on you. But hey, that's what sales taxes are all about.)
So when you place your order with Triton, by phone or by mail, make sure you say "HI!" and "Welcome to the wonderful world of Infocom."
