Having enjoyed a packet of McCoys Sausage Striker flavour crisps I just tried to enter the SMS based on-pack promotion to win a fantastic Football Trip, and I struggled.
Not only are the entry instructions printed in black text on a dark red background rendering it almost unreadable. But the instructions are so complex.
See for yourself.
Also note the use of white text on black background and good line spacing (just above the entry instructions) is very clear and easy to read, why not use this for the entry mechanism?
I’ve challenged and timed a further 2 people to enter. Both have taken in excess of 2 and half minutes to read, work out, and compose their entry. Both admitting that under normal circumstances they would have given up.
I wonder how many others have given up?
And I wonder how much time and money they spent coming up with that promotion only to cock it all up with the details?
