Compiling the reviews on our sister blog, PromoWatch, we read a LOT of terms and conditions. Geeky I know, but they are there for a reason. They lay out the terms of engagement, the rules of the game and SHOULD allow consumers to determine if a promotion lives up to its headline. Often terms and conditions are unwieldy, jargony, inconsistent and unfathomable. Indeed, most people don't bother reading them, until they have a problem by which time the damage has already been done.

Not sure if this is still available but those generous people at Mando are offering a totally free guide to promotional risk management. A reference book for the IPM Diploma no less.

Apologies for the footballing cliches in advance, but a recent Budweiser promotion in which the goalposts were literally moved mid-game left 8000 unhappy consumers fuming at missing out on a hundred grand prize. But is the referee to blame or are the rules of the promotional game fundamentally flawed?
