S.O.L.A.

It was clearly stated here that the contest will run March 21 to March 27, 2011.
***hindi ko lubos mainitindihan kung anu ang ibig nyong sabihin sa #1 “take a picture with (means the person joining? For me ha.) with any flavor of sola iced tea.  Dati kasi you always indicate if kasama sa picture yung sasali or just a picture of sola.

3. Qualified photos will be reposted on our wall.
So you mean our first photo entry was not qualified?
It was not reposted in your fan page. Well in fact this one was the first entry to join in your fan of the week contest. MARCH 23, 2011


 
After waiting for so long to repost our photo, we think that this was not a valid entry because the photo was a kid and there are rules, a general rules for minors about joining a contest. Anyway that was karl’s REAL facebook account. (to be able to follow the 1st rule.) *1. Take a picture with any flavor of Sola Iced Tea.
Then…waiting….
I posted my photo entry. I know it will be qualified because I followed the rules from 1-4…

MARCH 25, 2011.
I’m still waiting for the sola iced tea admin to repost our picture until Sunday 11:59 PM march 27, 2011. But no reposted picture until the deadline was arrived and the fan of the week photo contest ended.
 
Here’s another fan who was also posted her entry on the said valid posting dates

Then MONDAY, MARCH 28, 2011,
You come-up with this statement (this week was supposed to be a new contest for a new fan of the week.)

Then I clearly asked there until what time the contest run will?
Then the admin says “5 PM”.
I liked it up as a sign of my acknowledgment.
 
 
Then here we go… another FAN joined the fan of the week contest.


 
Another kid. Then you reposted it up.


 
Another how come? My Karl’s picture was not reposted……….



then….. As I was campaigning for my entry 4:30 pm the admin announce the WINNER.
·         I print screened the sola’s page 5: 52 p.m. March 31, 2011 and the post was about an hour ago. So it was 4:30 p.m. I thought the voting/liking will ends 5 p.m. March 31, 2011? Are you in the +8 time zone? I mean are you from the Philippines?




I posted my complaint and a picture, as well as some comments. I hate that contest that doesn’t follow RULES and MECHANICS. **(On their own)  *D.T.I.
may take necessary action for this one.
 
then some of my friends told me this... 

SORRY BUT I CANT ACCEPT MY WINNINGS BY THIS KIND OF WORK. YOU MAY REVIEW THIS OR YOU MAY FOLLOW YOUR RULES AND MECHANICS NEXT TIME YOU WILL RUN ANOTHER CONTEST.

  1. Actually, I also had issues with them before which I did not act on. The week I joined their contest, the winner did not took the picture from their listed FAB places or supermarkets. But still she won. They are not following their own rules.

  2. well, sakit yata ni sola yan. when i won the fan of the week, it was clearly stated that ONE CASE OF SOLA ICED TEA ang premyo. then ang dumating sa haus eh 12 bottles lng and 2 bags. I thought ung isang bag eh kapalit ng 12 bottles na kulang. days past by and someone was on our front door, i thought they brought the 12 bottles that was not given. hahaha! they called me on my cellphone and said that I have to return the other bag kasi isa lng dapat. they traveled far from QC (i guess, dun yata office nila) to Pasay just to get the bag. ayun, never na akong sumali sa kanila.

  3. @ ate Ma. Laarni,

    i think they need to change the admin of their face-book fan page. They don't know anything. im hoping that this blog post will help them to solve all the problem that occurred and prepare for the upcoming problem that may arises soon. :x

    @janus it was shocking.... to travel from QC to Pasay just to get what was being given? that freaking bad. And to know that it was only a BAG.*that bag may cause too much for them, does i goes with a gold bars? lOls.

    anyway thank you for posting your comment and unwanted,unexpected,undoubtedly,unfortunate, experience from SOLA.

  5. @ joni, i never thought na ang dami na pala nilang kamalian. sana naman ay maiayos na nilang lahat ito. hindi naman nila ito kagustuhan. ngunit subalit datapuwat kailangan nilang pagtuunan ng karampatang atesyon para sa ikakaayos at ikakabuti ng lahat. masakit mang isipin ayaw ko mang magsalita ng masama, nguit minsan kailangan din nating ayusin ang patakaran at mga regulasyon. lalong lalo na ang mga alituntuning dapat sundin.

    "HINDI KO NAIS SIRAIN ANG REPUTASYON NG SOLA" ang sa akin lang ay dapat nasa ayos ang lahat.

    KUNG MABABASA MAN AT UMAASA AKO NA MABASA ITO NG SOLA MANAGEMENT. SANA SA SUSUNOD AY MAAYOS NA ANG KANILANG PALAKAD.

    MARAMING SALAMAT.
    (ako'y naging masaya sa pagiging fan ng sola kahit sa umpisa palang ay hinid na ako nanalo, masaya na rin akong ipahayag na natikman ko ang kanilang produkto ang ako'y lubos na nasiyahan rito.)..
