KFC Offers Free Grilled Chicken
Once again, KFC is offering a free piece of grilled chicken to each customer in more than 5,000 KFC's nationwide in what they are dubbing UnFry Day. This offer is valid October 26, 2009 - today only! This offer, unlike the others, is promised to run smoothly, without the unwanted rainchecks or unprintable coupons. KFC claims to have planned around all of these unpleasant side effects of giving out such large amounts of free grilled chicken.
This is the third time in the past 6 months that KFC has offered free grilled chicken to their customers in an attempt to hook health-conscious consumers to this lower fat option. The first giveaway in April, also called UnFry Day, came very shortly after the launch of the new grilled chicken product. The second giveaway came about the following week, in which KFC offered downloadable coupons for a two-piece grilled chicken meal. This promotion, which was announced on The Oprah Winfrey Show, brought about a few problems for KFC. Many people could not download the coupon because of technical difficulties due to the overwhelming response from viewers of the Oprah Show and others who knew of the promotion. For those 10 million people who were lucky enough to be able to download the coupon, only about 6 million received their free grilled chicken meals, with the remaining 4 million receiving rainchecks for the meal as well as a free drink.
KFC expects today's giveaway to go flawlessly and hopes for a positive reaction from consumers.
A couple of webteam members here at KaTom tried to download coupons last time for the free grilled chicken meal, but unfortunately, we were included in the number of individuals who were unable to download the coupon. So today, as a service to our readers, we are making the journey to KFC on lunch to receive our free piece of chicken and will review the experience for you on the blog later on today. Stay tuned for our reaction.
Be sure to check with your local KFC to make sure they are participating in today's giveaway!
