Foodservice spending on advertising has declined in recent years, but trade advertising can still be an effective part of your marketing mix as it is for the current Foodservice Rewards ad campaign.
The foodservice market is mature. Pressure continues from distributors to investment spend in their “marketing” programs with limited deliverables on sales growth or transaction/customer information sharing. Manufacturers should be investing to reach operators directly and participation in Foodservice Rewards provides a targeted and measurable vehicle to learn who your customers are and what they are purchasing. Yet, advertising can still be a powerful part of a marketing mix for driving awareness and ultimately sales to the end-user operator. Foodservice Rewards benchmarked initial awareness and usage of the program using an add-on question to a traditional ad study survey through Food Management & Restaurant Hospitality magazines in January and February of 2010. After a mere four ads were run in each publication as a supplement our existing marketing efforts, the awareness and usage reported in the August benchmark studies for both magazines was measurably higher.

Nestle and Goodman Fielder launch Foodservice Rewards “Down Under” with this clever ad and PR campaign…
We’re excited to see Foodservice Rewards grow globally thanks to long time sponsors such as Nestle Professional Australia and new sponsors such as Goodman Fielder.
As this clever print ad demonstrates, you don’t always have to resort to stock foodservice photography + note the super coverage in the resulting launch article.
Their launch seminar promised a “Transformation of Foodservice Sales & Marketing Practices” which isn’t hyperbole.
When one goes from no visibility to operator purchases to x-ray vision + a decoder ring, it literally transforms the business to one that can use direct marketing effectively to reach street operators to understand and manage their purchase life cycles.

Here’s a great example of a sponsor leveraging their relationship with HPS to reach its 2,600 health care members via the organization’s newsletter. (Click on the image to see the whole newsletter.)
Reminder: When organizations let you offer bonus points in their newsletters or advertising, we’ll fund up to 500 points in the form of an enrollment code, and you get the “halo effect” for bringing their members additional value.
