Go To above link fill in a survey and eat the chocolates when you receive them.
I am not affiliated with them but a friend sent me the link and it worked for them thought some fellow ozbaraginers might enjoy some nice chocolates.

Not sure when finishes maybe end of July not sure if everyone will like them but free worth a try.

Mod edit: Please note response from Ferrero:

Hello Ozbargainers, we appreciate your interest in our promotion however we wanted to post on this thread to clarify a misunderstanding regarding eligibility. Please note that clause 5 of the terms and conditions states:

To be eligible to claim, individuals must, during the Claim Period, either: (a) receive the promotional eDM; or (b) receive the Linked In message, (in their Linked In account inbox), from the Promoter inviting them to participate and claim.

In short this means that only people who were directly invited by Ferrero via email or Linked In were eligible to claim.

We note that a link to this promotion was posted by an individual, however that post was not authorised by Ferrero. That means that for those of you that submitted a survey from the link on OzBargain, without first receiving the offer directly from Ferrero, your submission is ineligible.

As you can appreciate, this promotion was limited to only 1,430 claims, therefore we are unable to fulfill any claims in excess of this amount to individuals who were not invited to claim.

If your submission is deemed ineligible, we will remove your survey information from our database and will not send you a box of chocolates.

Thanks for your understanding,

    It is good marketing for FR as I have never tried the mixed variety of their products. If I try it and like it, I will buy them as presents for others and for myself. If I don't try them, I wont.

    • Moderatormoocher on 27/07/2012 - 09:57

      Voting down the rep's response which contains important information like this is not a good way to go as too many negative votes hides the comment from other people. It has been copied to the description above.

      Please do not use your negative votes this way.

      Nice one Ferrero, you've just missed out on an opportunity for thousands of people to sample your product and potentially get some goodwill and loyalty out of it.

      Looks like mistake number 1 was bringing on board muppets from Sapient Nitro who don't understand internet marketing. If you employ 'specialists' it might pay for them to understand how to target an offer without opening it up to the ENTIRE INTERNET.

      And now we have desperate backpedalling. I wonder whether Ferrero actually authorised spamming everyone and asking for proof that they are eligible for the offer, or if it's just damage control from Sapient Nitro…

      • elf888 on 27/07/2012 - 14:25

        True!I feel disappointed!

    Not good for customer relations….

    In situations like this companies can go one of two ways…
    - Embrace the opportunity to greet new customers and leave them with a positive experience
    - Turn new customers away and leave them with a negative experience

    In this case Ferrero have left a sour taste in ozbargainers mouths and provided them with a very negative experience of the company.

    On the other hand, Cenovis left customers with a very positive experience as per this bargain http://www.ozbargain.com.au/node/70738. Maybe Ferrero could take note of this….

    Having also participated in this survey, and being fully aware of clause 5 when submitting, I was only holding onto faint hope that they would just let it through. They (Ferrero) are well within their rights to nulify any submissions that can't verify themselves. This was never a deal - only a possible wraught, and we were caught with our pants down…

    This is just lazy from Sapient Nitro…clearly they've done a mass mail out, realised that not all respondents are legit. Rather than give the client bad data, they need to weed it out.

    I'd love to be a fly on the wall in the meeting between the Ferrero marketing manager and the Sapient Account manager.

    Hello and thanks for taking the time to fill in our survey.

    We are writing to you to verify your eligibility to claim in this promotion.

    We understand a number of people claiming the offer clicked through on the survey link from websites unrelated to Ferrero, via links that were posted without Ferrero’s permission or knowledge. We note that clause 5 of the terms and conditions states: To be eligible to claim, individuals must, during the Claim Period, either: (a) receive the promotional eDM; or (b) receive the Linked In message, (in their Linked In account inbox), from the Promoter inviting them to participate and claim.

    If you received the survey directly from Ferrero via an email or Linked In, then you are eligible. For verification purposes, please reply to this email by Sunday 5th August 2012 and attach the LinkedIn message or email you received so that we can cross check it.

    If you are unable to provide this information, your claim will be deemed ineligible. If that is the case, we will remove your survey information from our database and will not send you a box of chocolates.

    Feel free to contact us directly to clarify any of the above.

    Thanks for your understanding,

          They want proof that they invited you to be in the survey, because they aren't capable of verifying it themselves.

          No doubt there will be legitimate customers who miss out on chocolates by not seeing this email.

    Yes, Ferrero had the chance to turn this into a plus but instead managed to leave an unpleasant taste in one's mouth.

    In future I will think of Ferrero wrappings as officious red tape and enjoy my chocolates in more friendly wrappings (Aldi sell wonderful chocolates at a fraction the price and their hazelnut spread is much better value and at least as tasty).

    They also managed to piss off the people who did get the email because they can't work out who was entitled to get the offer. Just digging themselves in deeper into disrepute. Time and time again some PR dweeb dreams up a campaign for a limited group but it relies on a link not leaking out. The Internet just doesn't work like that.
