Rivella uses Postfinance disaster for free sampling

Swiss Post made negative headlines today. A major system malfunction paralyzed the online services post.ch and postfinance.ch. As a result, the 30 million Postfinance customers were unable to carry out any online banking transactions. In addition, they were unable to withdraw money from certain ATMs and in-store payments did not work - reason enough for Rivella to use the event for a sampling campaign. "Dear Postfinance customers. Thirsty but no cash in your pocket? Then come to us, we'll give you a free Rivella until 5 p.m.," it said in a Facebook post. The post has already been commented on over 90 times and received almost 900 "likes".
