I just received this promotion in my email this morning. Are Philippine merchants/malls missing a great free advertising tool by email?

Why couldn't Philippine Department stores, or Malls have a similiar online email every week for their  promo customers or those that enter its many promotions that  collects names and email addresses?  A valuable free tool is not being used here by most Philippine Merchants.
