So lets get this straight...

Dish is offering a promotion with a free ipad 2.

But they don't want to talk about it or let their retailers mention it too much because of the restrictions.

Amazing, simply amazing stuff....

That's Apples doing not Dish's.

What a joke on both sides.

How do you not have the terms of a promotion of what you can and cannot do before you launch it?

This was to be their biggest promotion ever and its sank faster than the Titanic...

The deal came together at the last moment.


Not one of Dish's best promotions.

 

[Dgenx321]

It could have been one of their best ever...

 

[Scott Greczkowski]

Yup if they were giving away the current version of the iPad. Not one that is two revisions behind.

They're running national TV commercials about it.

Not like they were at first

I'm really not trying to be contrary here, but I have seen many repeated ads for the Ipad promotion. It was in the St. Petersburg Times (or whatever it's now called) it was on ESPN and not a Dish customer only commercial, and more all within the last few days. Further it's the first thing you get when you go to Dish.com.

I have heard those Boston guys a lot since the start of the promotion.I've seen it on Dish,heard it on sirius,and local radio.

I wasn't even thinking about that. Yes, all the time, especially when they have the bad weather and take the IPAD from place to place.

I think I've seen the "unsafe in kitchen/treehouse/under the bed" one about a dozen times each during the Cup races on TNT the last few weeks.

I've seen the commercial three times, on AMC alone, in the last 3 hours. "So let's get this straight"..why was this thread started in the first place, ????

Before switching I saw the commercial quite a few times on directv.

Seems the legal page has the PDF of the terms and conditions. Not hard to find.

I like the idea of the promotion but I do not like Apple's rules on promoting it. I was pretty excited about the promo when I first heard but it really hasn't done anything to boost our sales. I'm sure Dish has been getting plenty of phone calls asking about it but it hasn't been the greatest for most of us retailers.

Even if it does nothing to increase sales for Dish and retailers, it sure does help out Apple in dumping overstock of a previous model line.

Doesn't bother me. It's still an iPad and that's all most people want. I got one for going to Team Summit and gave it to my wife. She was more than happy to have it regardless of what model it was.
