May 9th is Mother's Day.
On this occasion Netto came up with an unusual gift idea, which some customers could not be amused about.
It doesn't always have to be chocolate and flowers.
Netto's idea: why not offer toilet paper in Mother's Day design?
Limited edition, with fragrance, three layers and decorated with hearts - what more could you ask for?
Quite a lot, thought a customer who asks on the Netto Facebook page: “I've just looked at your brochure for the coming week.
Are you serious about the toilet paper or is it supposed to be a sad attempt at a corona joke? ”Others, on the other hand, don't find the idea so bad:“ I don't understand this excitement, ”says one user.
"What is wrong with toilet paper with a heart on it?"
Netto also offers special toilet paper designs for Christmas and Valentine's Day
The discounter himself explains the choice of this Mother's Day gift as follows: “With our weekly promotional items, we pay attention to thematically appropriate, seasonal themes.
For example, we offer drugstore products such as kitchen towels and toilet paper in matching designs on the occasion of Christmas, Valentine's Day or Mother's Day, depending on customer demand. "
After all, in the colored hearts there are also nice words to mom like “You are the best!” And “Thank you”.
However, this does not convince everyone, because there is also criticism on Twitter.
Someone suspects: "I think this is for people who have a difficult relationship with their mother ..."
Finding a good present for Mother's Day is not that difficult:
So if you want to use toilet paper in Mother's Day design, you should perhaps make sure that it is not the only gift on Sunday. Either way: The campaign brought the Netto discounter into conversation in any case. Bad advertising is advertising too.
