Food Freebie Frenzy gone bust: KFC/Oprah Free meal debacle

Earlier this month, KFC and Oprah teamed up for a Kentucky Grilled Chicken promotion that caused a fair amount of consumer anger because KFCs ran out of the promised free chicken meal and then refused to honor the coupon for a free meal, and instead put the onus on the consumer to visit KFC to ask for a form to mail away so that they can get their free chicken meal at a later date. The poorly run promo so embarrassed KFC that a video apology was made to smooth over the ruffled feathers of consumers.

Food Freebie Frenzy: Mars' Real Chocolate Relief Act promotion, ongoing all summer

As I previously reported, Mars Candy's Real Chocolate Relief Act promotion, ongoing through the summer months, allows consumers to log in each Friday to claim a coupon for a free chocolate bar. Chocolate loving consumers can only claim up to four free chocolate bar coupons for the duration of the promotion, which lasts until mid-September. Each week, Mars will give away 250,000 free chocolate bar coupons. The site even allows users to sign up for an email reminder to hit their inbox on Fridays.

Will Food Freebies during hard economic times translate into loyal consumers?

When times are tough, most people would have a hard time passing up a freebie. By offering consumers something free during times of financial hardship, the gesture could very well translate into brand loyalty in the future. Companies who put their best PR face forward and actively do promotions to enhance their image by giving away food freebies will reap the rewards when times are less hard for so many Americans. Consumers love free coupons for products and when forced to choose, they will choose the brand that they view the most favorably.

In short, Oscar Mayer's free frank coupon promotion is done brilliantly. Oscar Mayer's brand name is fresh in the mind of consumers who are planning their Memorial Day shopping. The free coupon is set to come in the mail just in time for the next major grilling holiday, the Fourth of July.
