An off week eblast went out on Wednesday announcing the FSR mobile app. Since then, 10,000+ codes were entered on and nearly another 10,000 yesterday. The participants using it also went from 70 per day on average to over 500.
FSR mobile app usage is on the rise and the app store reviews are overwhelmingly positive…
Nestle’ enewsletter demonstrates multiple applications for same product…Important when running a Goal Stretch promotion…
The Goal Stretch promotion is one of the most effective means of increasing your case growth. This type of promotion encourages existing operators to purchase MORE of an existing product. For that reason, when sponsors run a Goal Stretch promotion, we recommend that the Sponsor communicates how operators can use more of their product, such as:
1. Add a new product to their menu,
2. Run a special of the week/month using participating products,
3. Use the same product for multiple applications.
Check out the Nestle enewsletter with “21 new ways to use bases” as a great example of #3. It’s also a great education on their product’s versatility.

Kellogg Canada wasted no time in leveraging their partnership with Foodservice Rewards with their past customers.
Kellogg Canada wasted no time in leveraging their partnership with Foodservice Rewards to engage & enroll past customers. They sent a postcard to customers identified from past outreach efforts announcing their addition to FSR and encouraging them to join. Of course, versions were created for both the English and French speaking customers.

Kellogg Canada also cleverly equiped Sales with customized gift cards used to promote Kellogg’s at tradeshows and during field sales calls.
Kellogg’s used a custom eBlast to announce their entry to the thousands of Canadian foodservice operators already in the program. To help operators quickly find and enter those Kellogg’s product codes, they also promoted a bonus point sweepstakes to encourage rapid redemption.

Easy 3 Step Process Reminder to new program members…
Foodservice Rewards is launching a new email campaign this July to see if we can increase the frequency of product code entry by new FSR program members. The email reinforces the easy 3 Step Process and features the 30,000 rewards operators can earn by participating in the program.
The target audience for this email is all new FSR program members who have not entered a product code within 30 days of enrolling in the program. Another email reminder will be sent 60 days of enrollment if a code still has not been entered.
Nestle’s customers are going for the gold…
Goal Stretch promotions ask operators to purchase more products in a given timeframe. Nestle’s customers are going for the gold this Spring during their Gold Points promotion…
Note the creative calls out Stouffer’s specifically, but also identifies the other brands included in this promotion.
The promotion was communicated using the bi-weekly enewsletter, eblast (left), direct mail, plus banners on both the Foodservice Rewards and the Nestle’ Professional websites.
This goal stretch promotion will put Nestle’ in the gold as well!
The new, improved onboarding process features better creative, videos…
Marty’s been doing great work optimizing the welcome emails as part of the new, improved operator onboarding program.
The creative above will go into effect in early June and will be accompanied by two new operator videos (How it Works and Networking Opportunities) using the foodservicerewards.tv streaming-video capabilites.
Operators will be notified of the Welcome Bonus email stream/offers on their enrollment confirmation screen, and will receive a 4th bonus point opportunity in their first Extra Points eNewsletter (50 points for taking a survey).
Please let Marty know if you have any questions/comments/suggestions.
