Coles uses social media to push milk pricing message
Supermarket giant Coles has posted a video on YouTube to explain its position on milk pricing.
The video, published today, is part of a social media campaign, and has already prompted much discussion on the brand’s Facebook page.
The video is also being distributed via Twitter, with no plans to run it on television.
The video was created by visual communications specialist Guy Downes.
Coles spokesman Jon Church told Mumbrella in a statement: “We know that lower retail prices have helped Australian families save money but we are often asked by customers what this means for Australian dairy farmers.”
“We wanted to provide clear information in a way which is engaging and easy to understand. The video and website graphic contain important messages we think our customers will be interested to hear but are frequently overlooked in the reporting of the milk price story.”
wow… i guess all those dairy farmers going broke & walking off the land must have been mistaken about how fair Coles treat the Aussie farmer?

I love how left-wing Mumbrella readers seem to be. I’d put money on saying most work on alcohol, gambling, insurance, confectionery clients, or even Coles or Woolies themselves

Excuse me while I swallow this grain of salt to assist me in digesting this…. detail-filled piece of spin.

Sounds very much like the attempt to use social media to explain the price-hike in bananas a few years back. It didn’t wash over then and I doubt it will wash over now.

Perhaps it would be a better idea to cut out the wankery and put some money into making a cap that actually works on their three litre containers of milk which have an irritating habit of leaking everywhere if laid on their sides. But in this price-driven world you get what you pay for – cheap milk, even cheaper container.

Echoes of Monica Trapiga spruiking “healthy” Coco Pops. Are they serious?

Why doesn’t Coles talk about the fate of the ‘bobby’ calves and their ill-treatment by the dairy industry? Animals Australia have been trying to expose this for the past few years and I’m yet to see any kind of response.

I think the processors are taking farmers for a ride. Why are they all owned by overseas companies!

And here’s a response from a young dairy veterinarian – pretty clever I reckon!
