Woolworths trading australia day 2014

South Australian company Forewell supplied the cap for Woolworths' Australia Day promotion but somehow the major mistake went unnoticed until a customer pointed it out to the embattled supermarket chain on social media.

A red-faced Woolworths pulled the special order of about 20, caps off its shelves yesterday, supermarket insiders blaming the supplier for the blunder.

Retail analyst Brian Walker said the fact the cap made it all the way to the shelf without anyone at the organisation picking up on the major mistake raised questions about Woolworths' quality control. Erasing Tasmania is doubly embarrassing for Woolworths and its chief executive Grant O'Brien, who grew up in the tiny Tasmanian town of Penguin.

The cap is understood to be a merchandise order and not sanctioned by Woolworths' marketing department, which was caught up in the furore over last year's controversial Anzac Day promotion. The fierce criticism forced the supermarket to pull the campaign and apologise for putting the Woolworths branding on its Anzac Day material, including the picture generator, which people could use to create their own personalised Anzac Day picture as a cover page for Facebook.

One customer responded to the publicity surrounding the defective cap with a comment that Woolworths forgot Tasmania some time ago by not including it in its national Rewards program. Tasmania has its own Frequent Shoppers Club, which is a legacy of the former Purity chain that was bought by Woolworths in the s. It's understood Woolworths only maintained the Frequent Shoppers Club in Tasmania due to customer demand. This is not the first time Tasmania has been left off the map.
