Omaha Steaks pulls ads from Glenn Beck

Omaha Steaks Drops Glenn Beck

Omaha Steaks’ ads recently started running on Glenn Beck’s program on Fox News.

As with other advertisers, participants in the StopBeck effort reached out to Omaha Steaks. We kindly requested that they follow the responsible action of hundreds of other former advertisers and refrain from advertising on Glenn Beck’s show.

Well, your efforts paid off.

This morning, Omaha Steaks announced that they were removing their ads from Glenn Beck’s program (emphasis added):

Omaha Steaks buys large units of national television advertising during the holiday season. This year, we bought a package of advertising through the Fox Network. We did not specifically request to be included on the Glenn Beck program. As part of our contract, the Omaha Steaks ads run in a variety of time slots throughout the day.

We took your comments regarding the Glenn Beck Program to heart. After further review and careful consideration, we have decided to pull all advertising from Glenn Beck programming effective December 20th, 2010. Unfortunately, due to advertising cancellation policies, we were bound to continue possible ad placements through Sunday, December 19th.

At Omaha, we greatly value the loyalty and support of our customers, fans and followers and thank you for bringing your concerns to our attention.

Great work all! See, your tweets and messages really do matter.

Here we see another advertiser stepping up and taking the responsible action. Don’t dismiss these actions, they are important steps as we continue to gear up for our broader DropFox accountability effort.

Onward we go…

I will no longer purchase tasty steaks from Omaha. Anybody have another source for piles of filet mignon by internet/mail?

Wait for it...Omaha Steaks will announce a surge in sales and profits from all the free publicity.

They are very over-priced, but they know how to get market exposure.

Yes, verified about 15 minutes ago. It is true and they are scum of the earth in my book.

I’m with you. I had one once, some years ago, on a cross-country flight. NOT impressed — it was tough and almost chalky-tasting. I can definitely do better at my local grocery store.

Glad you told me. I was going to send out over $2,000 in steaks from Omaha Steaks to my customers and friends. Guess what. I didn’t pull the trigger on the order and will give my steak order this year to the Kansas City Steak Company http://www.kansascitysteaks.com/?gclid=CN6KkO6R8qUCFQGe7QodL0odog

Omaha Steaks remember one thing. Glenn Becks listeners and viewers are meat eaters and The DemoRats are Veggies. So go sell them some ToFu Steaks.

I have been a multiyear and frequent customer of OS. They are hearing from me now. They will react to customer loss I bet.

They mail crappy steaks anyway, so why would anyone buy them a second time. We ordered some steaks, they were all different sizes and thicknesses. They were not the cream of the crop as they advertised. Besides they were not marbled, so tough as shoe leather.

I have just canceled my order of around $300 with them I had put in for family for the Holidays.

Just contacted three folks I know who buy from them. One of which just replied to me and said they will NEVER order from them again. They were LONG TIME customers.

I called their listed number. A lady answered the telephone, but claimed to not know the answer to the question: “Did they cancel their ads associated with the Glenn Beck program?” She referred me to someone in Customer Service who did not know either and she referred me to a supervisor in Customer Service who confirmed that they had cancelled the ads with Fox because they did not want anyone to think they were supporting the political views of Mr. Beck. She further stated that Omaha Steaks were apolitical, despite the fact that other Freepers report their contributions to the Demoncrat Party.

Just read the first page of their facebook comments. It’s running about 70% of people identifying themselves as customers and saying screw it, never again and 30% saying “Ooooh, thank you for dropping your support, I promise I will buy some steaks”.

LOVE this FB entry on the Omaha Steak site:

“Dale Warren I have a website that gets 400,000+ hits per month and a twitter account with 87,000 connections. I will never buy anything from you again and I will tell all my friends to boycot you for your decision to pull advertising from the Glenn Beck program.”

I probably would never have purchased anything from Omaha Steaks, but now it’s a certainty.
