  • Re the cinemas, I don't do the React ones so I can't comment on them.

    I did one at the end of January for the company that can't be named.

    But, as far as I know, FT haven't had any cinema trailer checks this year yet........so maybe......

    I'm sure it won't be the React ones because they are just the normal mystery visits for the cinema chain themselves aren't they?!?

    It must be the ones we can't name or First Tracking then, unless there are any other companies that do trailer checks that I'm not aware of.
    Did the company that can't be named do them at the end of Jan?
    I was really annoyed as I've been doing some regularly, but couldn't do December, which I explained but said I would be available again for January and onwards, but wasn't offered it in Jan :(
    I'm assuming they still did them as usual though?
    I was wondering that the other week as i didn't get an email!!


    Yup, i done 3 over the weekend, they are still going, i will be very annoyed if they go to re, bet the fee will be halved! :mad:

    Taken from the ESA Baguette briefing notes:

    "· Select your purchase items – You need to purchase a minimum of 1 item in the Food store:"

    Then it goes on to say:

    "A minimum of two items (including x1 bakery item – if applicable) in total must be purchased to ensure that the
    carrier bag question can be assessed."

    It is a minumum of two items needs to be purchased.. I checked.
    Bit contradicting I thought.

    It is only just February, and they don't check that many trailers!

    I think the trailer checks that FT do are for particular film distribution companies and that the one that RE are hoping to do next week won't be for the same ones.

    i.e there are multiple clients that would request trailer checks, and that doesn't mean that any particular company has "lost" them, just that someone has picked up a new client.

    Hopefully you're right.

    Glad the company that can't be named are still doing them, but that's annoyed me that they didn't email me lol! I specifically said when I couldn't do December that I could still do them from Jan again, and he said that was fine and he would try and arrange mine to be covered for Dec then I would have it again from Jan. Tsk :(

    Do you usually do them regularly Miss Sarah?

    I've done it twice. Also didn't get an email for Jan, but quite often the cinemas that I've done haven't been on the list. I usually do one independent and one chain so maybe they just didn't need any in my area checked :P

    Yep normally. Although they stopped some reason a while back. Didn't think anything of it an emailed. He said my cinema had been missed of the list and started emailing me again. Found it a little off that knowbody missed the results lol

    Will wait till the end of this month and see if not email them asking.
    I get what i want. That isn't because i'm a brat or spoilt. It's because i'm determined, i work hard for it and i achieve my goals!

    Just because they emailed us the questionnaire does not mean they have acquired these visits. They once emailed us about the slightly posh pizzas that TNS once did. These never happened did they? Chill out peeps.
