Not again!!! Slowly but surely, I'm getting so fed up with these collection campaigns that it would be a reason to avoid Migros.
So they don't have the effect on me that Migros would like them to have!

Dear Enjel
Because social sustainability is important to us, we have made sure that we only work with BSCI-certified suppliers for Animanca. Here www.bsci-intl.org/about-bsci/prinicples-of-BSCI you can find all the information about the commitment of the BSCI and its members.
Best wishes and have a nice weekend,

Terrible! Another collection campaign! My children don't even like collecting anymore. Swapping them in the playground is the best thing, then they just gather dust somewhere. The pictures with books are at least educational and remain exciting. But the rest is garbage. The effort and packaging are exaggerated for the result.
It would actually be a shame to have a Migros child..........
Dear standing lamp
I suspect, Stehlampe, that you don't have children who can be influenced by such campaigns. Your reasoning is absolutely correct - and I have actually been shopping less at Migros since this campaign started because I am well aware that this is the only way to stop this campaignitis sooner or later, namely by boycotting it!
But, and here comes the big but: every time I go shopping and come home without these sachets, disappointed, sad or angry children's faces await me at home (depending on my mood on the day) .... and this simply doesn't have to be the case!!!
It's not about me. I see myself as a mature enough consumer to see through this "game". But the children don't, and I just don't think it's fair that they are being "used" like this .....
Of course, you could argue that we could use this as an example for discussions about the market, the global economy, etc. in the family. But they're just a bit too young for that.
Dear Sabine_migros
Thank you very much for the link - it's wonderful how Migros has secured itself against critical voices in this regard ....
Dear people, hold your breath. This shouting about how annoying these campaigns are and how evil Migros is for lending customers to consume is complete nonsense. You're getting worked up over peanuts! You are all adults and have the free will to decide whether and how much and, above all, where you shop. If you don't like it, then ignore it. If your children get on your nerves, then teach them that you can't always have everything and that's that.
We used to collect all sorts of things as children, such as the aforementioned panini pictures. And we also had toys back then that eventually lay in the corner and were no longer interesting. Nowadays it's just different things! And to be honest - when I look at what other junk is on the market and what the kids like these days, the Animanca bricks really aren't that bad. They encourage kids to take an interest in animals and nature, they encourage them to make things and discover things, and that's not a given in this day and age.
Some people always need something to get upset about and a company to complain about. Something is always bad. I would advise all these people to live abroad for a few years. Then maybe they'll learn to appreciate how good we have it in Switzerland and that Migros isn't all that bad ;-)
A lot has already been written. We belong to the target group (family with children) and we are taking part, albeit with less enthusiasm than before. Friends, acquaintances, business colleagues and family were kindly asked by our daughter if they would collect the stones. Yesterday, on the second Joker Day, our 5-year-old daughter was even able to prove her courage and ask the person behind her if she could have the stones for herself. I marvel at these moments, because I know how much effort it took for her. But it gave her a sense of achievement, and I really appreciate that.
The positive thing is that many cashiers no longer look so closely at the 20 franc limit and sometimes turn a blind eye and round up. Thank you!
Another story is that someone who collects for us went shopping for, say, 120 francs and paid with 60 francs in Cumulus vouchers. Anyone who now thinks that you get 6 stones is wrong. There are only 3 stones. Despite discussions, there were no more stones. I think that's the wrong approach...
Otherwise, a good campaign. Incidentally, our daughter proudly wears the first Joker brick every day.
PS: I had to smile when I saw that nano fever has broken out at REAL in Germany at the moment... http://www.real.de/funkyfieber.html
I find the Joker days the most worrying.
You MUST buy for 60 to get the stone.
There is no alternative or no alternative is shown.
So I'm practically forced to go shopping for 60 on a certain day.
An alternative would be desirable!
@moccetti,
I can understand your displeasure or the anger of your shopper. But the small print on the back of the Cumulus vouchers says: "Cumulus vouchers are valid as a discount".
Since a discount is a price reduction, the procedure is correct. I don't know, maybe the gadgets are billed?
Greetings Istanbul
@yvolution: It may be possible to swap the stones in a ratio of 3 to 1 at the end of the campaign. So don't give up hope. And otherwise someone might have 2 and swap them...
@Istanbul: It's probably already legally the case - but you would still expect something else. And one more request. If someone asks you very nicely for stones, then do him or her a favor. You're sure to get a charming smile ;-) Weren't we all little once and collected all kinds of stuff like Panini pictures like crazy?
@yvolution: That's not quite right. You can earn the Joker Stones on the Animanca website for a certain amount of time (I'm guessing 24 hours... but I'm not entirely sure) after the store closes. So you don't HAVE to go shopping for the stone.
And as already mentioned - you can also swap the stones with someone else...
