KFC teams with Oprah
Yes, everyone is always suspicious when they hear about a “free lunch,” but if you visit Oprah.com/kfc today or tomorrow, you can get free chicken and sides.
If you follow the link at Oprah.com/kfc, you can download coupon that entitles you to a free meal, including two pieces of Kentucky Fried Chicken’s new menu item, Kentucky Grilled Chicken, two sides and a biscuit. That certainly sounds like a recipe for a full stomach to me.
Giving it all away
I have learned from checking Google Trends every day that if Oprah says something, millions (possibly billions) listen. KFC hit a marketing jackpot when Oprah agreed to run their promotion.
That means KFC will big giving away a lot of free chicken. A lot. Of course, normal coupon rules apply: one per person, per visit, etc. However, there does not appear to be a limit to the number of coupons that can be printed.
Media makeover
At first, KFC will probably lose money because of this promotion. But that’s nothing that some short-term loans can’t fix. This promotion is tied to a campaign to change KFC’s image. If the plan works, KFC will have more new customers than it knows what to do with.
When you click on the link at Oprah.com/kfc to download your free chicken coupon, KFC’s new tagline “Unthink What You Though About KFC” pops up above the “print” button. From the free coupon page, there’s also a link to check out nutrition information.
