Marketing 101 Fail

Someone at the Packers failed Marketing 101

A contest to win the RIGHT to purchase shoes from the Packers Pro Shop?

Seriously, who is in charge of marketing at the Packers?

Probably the same group that let this whoopsie leak out to the public in late 2011.

Love the team, but shake my head at some of the marketing decisions they make

'Eh, who cares.

It's a chance to be able to buy exclusive shoes...kinda lame yes but they're not charging you to join the contest.

But I'm pretty sure John you've told others you don't appreciate them telling you you're wasting your money on stock, so why are you being a hypocrite now?

Not being a hypocrite, just stating my opinion

Hmmm, I see nothing wrong with it and it's done alot of other places.

Would you still be scratching your heads if this was a contest for the RIGHT to buy a signed Rodgers jersey for $200 (which would still be cheaper than anywhere else you could buy it) or for game day tickets and pre-game side line access for $150 per ticket? I seriously doubt it.

At least for those interested, if they win, they can wear these shoes to their heart's content. I think this is just being overly picky.
