Perrier gives clubbers green carpet treatment
Drinks brand Perrier rolled out the green carpet at London nightspot Boujis last week to welcome the city's most stylish clubbers to an exclusive 'Perrier Presents...' event.
Forty specially trained Brand Advocates from BEcause will manage live trials in each outlet, visiting three outlets each evening during the initial three-month phase, offering consumers the chance to try Bulmers over ice as part of a brand experience evening.
"We will use conversation and live brand experience to introduce drinkers to Bulmers Original in suitably fresh, original style," said Joss Davidge, Marketing and Business Development Director at BEcause Experiential Marketing.
"Working in partnership with Box Marketing, this campaign is designed to appeal to both bar staff and consumers and encompasses full training, a teaser phase, merchandising, sampling nights and follow-up activity".
The evenings themselves will be sold into venues by Box Marketing as part of a rolling telemarketing campaign to sell in S+N's cider portfolio to licensees.
Field staff from Box Marketing will visit participating outlets prior to their experience evening to help merchandise the venue and organise stock, before the arrival of the BEcause Brand Advocates, who will handle all consumer interaction.
Follow-up telemarketing activity with licensees will be managed by Box Marketing.
"On-trade experiential marketing has become a key element of S+N's marketing strategy and we have successfully delivered a number of highly visible, large-scale campaigns for them during the last two years", explained Davidge.
"Cider Hit Squad - like our other 'Taste Tour' and 'Biggest Round' promotions for S+N - is an experiential campaign designed to build lasting and memorable relationships with consumers and bar staff alike, persuading hundreds of thousands of drinkers to add S+N brands to their regular drinks portfolios".
