Comment on Publicity Stunt for $10 iPads Brings Out the Pitchforks by Kim N.

Kim N. — Fri, 15 Oct 2010 13:12:33 +0000

Hi everyone

I read on the internet that I wasn’t the only one who got through the step of entering my credit card info and personal info to buy the ipad and then got no icon button to click in order to complete the transaction…I wonder if who could start a class action? Because if we got through that step, it’s because we clicked on BUY while there was an ipad available for sale, and there is no such thing as ” someone else bought your ipad” while you were entering your info…
Thanks for your help!!

Thanks for coming by my site and linking me to this article. I admit it was odd when people who were in marketing/developers were winning all the ipad yesterday, they either are very quick with super-human powers or they are somehow in katoos with the company. Whether or not they are, I have no idea and cannot say otherwise, but, Fabfind definitely created a lot of attention and buzz about their company with this offer, and that is good on them! I blogged this offer the second I heard about it and got insane hits to my blog, so it’s win-win for everyone. Congrats to whoever was able to score one, I hope some “normal” people got to, I was on the site the entire day and got nothing, but I never expected to anyway so not disappointed at all.

i was a fan of fabfind until this promotion. it was the wost promotion and so ill thought out. Yes, sometimes “.com’s” don’t anticipate web traffic accurately and servers crash, however what did they honestly expect? offering ipads for $10? They don’t have an excuse for this since it IS part of their job, it only makes sense to have an adequate infrastructure to handle the traffic. to make matters worse, they posted a video showing them giving away an ipad to a NOW journalist who was a doubter that this “deal” was a scam. this was supposed to prove to ppl that their promo wasn’t a scam – what about all the other ppl who said the same thing? clearly we have to write them emails and state we’re a journalist to get this preferential treatment. other offences:
- stating there were 10-99 ipads to be given away between 11am-9pm but only giving away around 6.
- the winners were also in social media – one of them who owns a site that directs traffic to the Toronto collective deal websites
- the buy now button with a link to itself when the page displayed 1 available
-midway through the deal, it became a popularity contest for best story and they had ppl try to tell them why they deserved the ipads. ppl then had to vote for each story.

lastly, where they went irrevocably wrong is the way they talked down to customers who complained. They wrote very belittling, …scathing, insulting, smug and even accusatory replies to people on their FB page. they didn’t even bother to address any concerns but instead deleted comments to add fuel to the fire. they had their friend’s come on as moderators to tell ppl to “chill”, “relax”, “you can’t blame them for this”. FF’s operations were disrespectful to the customer and i will never be buying from them again.
