Interesting insight on Zanui — I have actually never come across the site. You mentioned that they are launching 4 sites in Australia — what are they?

I agree, communication with customers has great value and giving it to third party is not beneficial for online store.

They might not have noticed, but it could have ended up worse when it came to light – and with professional compers on the prowl, I don’t think it would have taken long.

I imagine the best route would have been to offer those two winners something minor as a consolation and then re-draw.

Great post John – I think part of the reason Nissan got so much heat for this was the way they handled it in terms of telling everyone the winner was someone’s close friend. It was an odd approach to take – I wonder if people would have noticed if they hadn’t been so open about it? Thanks for the link too

[...] A lot’s changed since then – traditional retailers like Myer are now selling online and lending a lot of authority to the space, while businesses like Coles Online, who have been operating since 1999, are continually putting more effort into the channel (even if they are still having some teething issues).

Alcohol and tobacco are both very heavily taxed in Australia. The larger supermarkets (Aldi, for example) are going to start selling their own beer, which should stir things up a bit.

As an Aussie living in Germany, I’m shocked by the prices of beer in Aus now & would love to see a breakdown of costs on a carton of beer in the first place…was the listed prices the wholesale price?

Yes i run a company and understand over heads, taxes etc but you can go down to your local supermarket here and buy beer brewed in the area for 25-50c per long neck (5 euro to 15 euro a create) without crap, preservatives etc in it. You then get money back for the bottle when you return it, everyone recycles because of this.

Anyway no one will remember in a few months, if Coles is closest / most convenient they’ll get the sale…I know a few of those 4,000: )
