I get marketing material from four different "mainstream" photography outlets. This is fine.
But I'm not into generic photography; I'm into the niche that is film photography.
I have zero (0) desire to buy a DSLR or a mirrorless camera or a GoPro. On the other end, I also don't want an instant camera or other products sometimes called "hipster". I just want info on 120 and 135 film, development supplies, printing services, and used cameras.
Those four stores I get emails from all sell those things.
But none of them have any specific marketing channels to promote them, nor do they do things like sales or discounts.
I'm sure is a small portion of their profits… it doesn't make much business sense on paper to put effort into it. But surely they want to support artists and their arts? A little encouragement and community building might increase their profits after all!

@TurdFerguson If that was the case, I wish he wouldn't've lied to my parents and told them I was slacking off
Every once in a while, I think back to grade 10 and my mid-term report where the PE teacher said that I "seem to forget" my gym strip rather often, thus marking me as not present.
He never once questioned me about why I wasn't participating.
I wasn't participating because I realised that I could, if questioned, just say "I'm not feeling good" and get away with it. But I never had to use that excuse because he just marked me as delinquent, instead of caring enough to find out.
If you think I'm weird in cyberspace you should find me in meatspace.
