can i choose what ball i want? i want a football, not a rugby, tennis, cricket or aussie rules ball.

doesnt seem like you can :(

Ubsy on 31/01/2008 - 18:23 ¶

NO you can’t, but a free ball is a free ball.
I have put one in, as well as a couple of freinds already, between us we should get something decent.

All too easy….

bevisaurus on 31/01/2008 - 21:29 ¶

awesome, signed up and see what i get… maybe we can swap if i dont get what i want.

Swap idea sounds ok Great freebie!!!

JeffreyM on 01/02/2008 - 18:49 ¶

Signed up just now - wonder what I’ll get? Fantastic offer!

mnypwrwmn on 02/02/2008 - 00:38 ¶

Free balls!!! thank you ricky ponting

John on 02/02/2008 - 02:55 ¶

Whew, 45 votes, surely everyone likes balls! :)

ozpete on 02/02/2008 - 13:47 ¶

dumb I know but i voted so it would crack the half century - Ricky would be so proud!!!

JeffreyM on 02/02/2008 - 14:16 ¶

Yep another half-century for Ponting just by giving away free balls!!!

scotty on 02/02/2008 - 19:02 ¶

Now you give ideas to companies on how to create promotions!

JeffreyM on 03/02/2008 - 12:59 ¶

What you mean scotty?

scotty on 03/02/2008 - 13:14 ¶

Sorry should have made myself clearer.

You see. Companies run these free give aways as to promote other products (in this case the Rexona for men range of products). In order to make the promotion successful, they need to give away something that people actually want (and in some sense associated with the products you wish to promote). Since this freebie gets huge number of votes — it shows free balls would make a good promotion. That might give other companies hints when they try to run other promotions in the future.

A free Wii could also work!

noneother on 04/02/2008 - 11:47 ¶

Ricky’s balls all have rexona printed on them anyway - it’s a great way to spread the brand when players hold them in their hands

JeffreyM on 04/02/2008 - 17:43 ¶

Agree free Wii could be good. Anyway this is most popular deal on OzBargain ever!!!

darcy01 on 03/02/2008 - 09:35 ¶

How do you get one of these free balls?

JeffreyM on 03/02/2008 - 12:58 ¶

Click the link above & fill in the form!

yamumma on 04/02/2008 - 11:58 ¶

Does anyone know if they send a confirmation e-mail out? I can’t check my personal e-mail till I get home tonight. But if not, I’ll sign up a few family members who live at different addresses.

JeffreyM on 04/02/2008 - 17:44 ¶

No they won’t, you just need someone there to sign a form when it arrives.

kingwang on 04/02/2008 - 15:14 ¶

I dont think they give out a confirmation email. I didnt get one.
I saw this promotion on tv but wasnt very specific about giving free balls.

I got my friends to register too, so we get a chance at something decent.

Sooty on 13/02/2008 - 13:27 ¶

never got a confirmation email back either! no idea when we get the “ball”

bevisaurus on 05/02/2008 - 23:32 ¶

anyone know when we should expect the balls?

antie22 on 14/02/2008 - 20:46 ¶

jduong on 15/02/2008 - 18:17 ¶

JeffreyM on 15/02/2008 - 19:22 ¶

Did anybody get anything other than a cricket ball?

Ubsy on 15/02/2008 - 20:46 ¶

Nope. Cricket ball here and friend also got a cricket ball….

chuuneeperformance on 16/02/2008 - 10:02 ¶

Pretty solid rubber cricket ball… dont play inside on timber floor else it leaves slight red rubber marks :S

mnypwrwmn on 16/02/2008 - 15:45 ¶

i got a mad basketball

scotty on 16/02/2008 - 19:05 ¶

I got a cricket ball as well, and my daughter is already throwing it around on our timber floor :(

mynameislee on 18/02/2008 - 11:24 ¶

I got a cricket ball too. Does anyone else’s ball smell really bad? Like burnt rubber? Probably not a good thing for Rexona to be sending out bad smelling products! :)

John on 18/02/2008 - 12:32 ¶

I’m still waiting for my ball. :(

trudy on 18/02/2008 - 21:17 ¶

Those of you that have balls when did you put your request through? {gee this is a fun thread…lol!}

mynameislee on 18/02/2008 - 21:21 ¶

JayJay04 on 19/02/2008 - 14:16 ¶

thanos on 28/02/2008 - 21:53 ¶

Still waiting on mine :{

Bargain4U on 01/03/2008 - 13:38 ¶

Same here :(

jyeyasmyn on 05/03/2008 - 04:56 ¶

The website has a counter which tells how many balls have been given away, and is only upto around 72,000. Looks like i missed out to, my son is shattered he really wanted a cricket ball.

jduong on 05/03/2008 - 08:41 ¶

my husband got a golf ball just last week! maybe they’ve run out of the cricket balls and are starting on the golf balls now. for those of you that haven’t received it yet, just keep waiting - it seems to be taking about 4 weeks for delivery
