However, I think...Hence with that power comes risk. However, I think it was a great PR stunt and I think Oprah was sincerely trying to help the people but may have forgotten with her name there are some folks who just want to cash in so to speak on attention for themselves.

According to CNN's latest report, KFC is in damage control mode:<br />www.cnn.com/2009/LIVING/05/08/oprah.kfc.coupon/index.html.<br /><br />Great lesson though for product providers. Someone didn't properly estimate demand to include additional staffing to man lines let alone to service the amount of customers who flooded KFC's across the nation wanting a free meal.<br /><br />Unless O foot the bill, I'm sure money spent providing free meals along with damage control and the rainchecks will exceed short-term ROI. When the dust settles later (perhaps early summer) word-of-mouth could kick in for picnics, parties, etc.<br /><br />Any time you're dealing with Oprah you HAVE TO put a cap on offers to include numbering coupons so that people don't make several copies and pass it along to friends who could not download, which is something I know was happening.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
