3 Ways Target.com Failed Cyber Monday Shoppers
For Cyber Monday, Target.com offered 15%t off of any items online to all shoppers. Too bad Target’s site couldn’t quite handle the traffic.
Twitter lit up with complaints about the retailer and even got itself a brand new hashtag #TargetFail. Read them for yourself.
Bottom line is that Target wasn’t prepared and hasn’t done a good job of creating a good online shopping experience. Here are 3 ways they failed.
Fail #1 – Many had to wait all day just to add items to their online shopping cart. Instead they got a message like the one pictured above. This drove countless people to Amazon.com (including myself).
Fail #2 – Additionally, some users found that items they wanted on the site were not eligible for shipping! Umm, why show items for sale on an e-commerce site if you don’t ship those items?
Fail #3 – 15% may not have been a deal anyway.
The first picture is a screen capture of Target’s Web site yesterday during their 15% off store-wide special for Cyber Monday. (Price of the item I was looking at is $439.99)
The second one is a screen capture from their Web site today (AFTER, the day after their store-wide “special”. (Price of the item I was looking at is back to the normal price of $399.99). SCAM!
Yes, I know that the 15% off would have resulted in price slightly lower than the standard price anyway, but it’s misleading to arbitrarily raise the price on specific items during the sale day.

We are Fallon
Reposted from AdWeek: The legacy of Pat Fallon in Minneapolis cannot be overstated. The founder and longtime CEO of Fallon, who died last Friday at age 70, almost singlehandedly turned Minneapolis into a nationally respected creative hub. He personally helped to launch the careers of hundreds of advertising people. And his agency’s work helped to transform the industry.
Upon hearing of Fallon’s death, Doug deGrood, a former Fallon staffer and now partner at crosstown agency GdB, got to work on a tribute ad for his former boss. He wrote a few lines of copy thanking Pat—not just on behalf of himself or GdB, but from the entire ad community of Minneapolis.
Then, he and a few others worked the phones, contacting more than 40 Twin Cities agencies asking to use their logos in the ad. You can see the resulting ad below—a full page running today (the day of Pat’s funeral) in the Minneapolis Star Tribune.
It’s a fitting tribute to man who gave a whole community the belief, and the example, that they could achieve great things from their home on the prairie.

VIDEO: McDonald’s employee fights man at drive-thru window
ORIGINAL POSTER: “I was on my way home from Monday night curling league, I hadn’t eaten much since lunch time, and I was driving by a McDonald’s, so I thought I’d just swing in and pick up a BigMac while I listened to the end of MNF game on the radio.
At first I was annoyed the guy in front of me was taking so long, he seemed pretty upset to begin with, but it looked like when the McDonald’s guy handed him his cash and change back he dropped some of the dude’s change. That’s when he got out of his car, spit on the drive through window and tried to punch the McDonald’s and that’s when I started recording.”
This took place yesterday in Northeast Minneapolis.
In the footage the worker is dragged half way out of the window by his uniform tie, by the driver dressed in shorts.
As the man pulls hard on the tie, the McDonald’s employee punches the man several times to the head.
The employee shouts back to another team member behind him and says: “Man, he got my m******-f****** tie.”
