HAVE A BREAK ... HAVE A PEUGEOT


Ananova announces that Kelvin Bygrave, a 43 year old Essex businessman, has spent £3,000 on 27,000 KitKat bars to try to win a car. He bought the chocolate in a bid to win a £12,000 Peugeot 206 car in an internet contest. Each wrapper has a different value. They are added together and used to bid for the car. Kelvin, of Frinton, Essex, says he can now bid highest. He added: "I'll give the chocolate to schools".

KitKat: let's hope the Breaks are in working order

The IPKat remarks that Nestle have won a double victory: first they succeed in getting an apparently sane businessman to purchase 27,000 bars of KitKat. Then, at no cost to themselves, they get a massive dollop of publicity for their product. That's marketing for you.

No comments:

All comments must be moderated by a member of the IPKat team before they appear on the blog. Comments will not be allowed if the contravene the IPKat policy that readers' comments should not be obscene or defamatory; they should not consist of ad hominem attacks on members of the blog team or other comment-posters and they should make a constructive contribution to the discussion of the post on which they purport to comment.

It is also the IPKat policy that comments should not be made completely anonymously, and users should use a consistent name or pseudonym (which should not itself be defamatory or obscene, or that of another real person), either in the "identity" field, or at the beginning of the comment. Current practice is to, however, allow a limited number of comments that contravene this policy, provided that the comment has a high degree of relevance and the comment chain does not become too difficult to follow.
