New label Design in the Works

If you laid this year’s reward code labels end to end, 100 million+ “mini-billboards” would stretch from Anchorage to Miami…

During the past 12 months, BI issued 100,616,919 reward code labels (that does not include e-codes, just actual labels). If you laid those labels end to end, it’s over 4,900 miles worth of “mini-billboards” and could stretch from Anchorage to Miami. In just one year!

Remembering that the label is now one of the most pervasive media types in the foodservice industry, we’ve been exploring a re-design to make the label more “promotional” to increase program awareness. We’ve also received sponsor requests to add an alternate “products available at Dot Foods” reverse. Here is the proposed new label version + alternate reverse options.

Tell us what you think.

In 6 hours at the DOT foods show, we were able to enroll 43 new Distributor Program Managers

z-signs-another-one.jpgThe annual Dot Foods Show was 6/6-7 in St. Louis, MO. For the first time, Foodservice Rewards had its own booth. The goal: To enroll distributorships in the DSR program. The result: It worked.

In a 6 hour show, we were able to enroll 43 new Distributor Program Managers. Many had seen our communications through Dot’s vehicles, but none had pulled the trigger before they stopped by our booth.

The audience was a unique one. Many small 3rd tier distributors, with specialty product categories, that have found niches in their local markets. Just goes to show that the DSR program works in houses of all sizes.

A special thanks to Tiger for helping with this one. As you can imagine, he played the “Carnival Barker” role to a tee.

In case you missed it at NRA…

Here’s guerrilla marketing at it’s finest: IRM Corporation bought this ad in show editions of the Chicago paper…

Here’s guerrilla marketing at its finest. This ad was placed in USA Today and delivered to all the NRA show hotels. You have to love the guts/integrity of the approach.

It’s another reason we enjoy working with the fine folks at IRM Corporation. We’re jointly developing a “Rewardlytics” tab for their Sales Discovery System to deliver operator purchase data gathered through Foodservice Rewards for sponsors who use IRM’s reporting tools. It’s all part of building the ecosystem that supports “crossing the technology adoption chasm“.
