You may not have signed up for anything with Gillette, but what you should realize is that companies sell your information to other companies so that they can use it too. So you may have signed up for a magazine and that magazine may have sold your information to Gillette who then sent you a free razor in the mail hoping that you'll buy another one. It works...

They deliver you a loose razor to your birthday, you employ it, you purchase their blades. Gotcha! it rather is an common yet effectual advertising ploy. Btw, happy birthday. EDIT. no longer inevitably a contest, besides the undeniable fact that it could have been something. Even a survey at a figuring out to purchase mall, or something like that. they are in a position to even have have been given your information from something which you acquire and crammed in a guaranty sort. huge brother is often staring at.

you are classified as a prospect(someone that could be a potential customer). most companies will get a list of prospects from schools and other companies. wait until you graduate you will get tons of mail about student loans. it has only just begun.
