Solution

  • RPro Motion developed a fun, energetic and buzz worthy sampling program that provided consistent, trained and professional Brand Ambassadors, turnkey activation and management for the Sun Drop brand.
  • RStreet Teams targeted select guerilla and sponsored events with high attendance of the brands’ target demographic for ice cold sampling.
  • RBrand Ambassadors activated retail sampling at convenience stores combined with a buy-one-get-one special to encourage immediate onsite sales.
  • RThe colorful branded van, tent and inflatable, along with street teams that “owned” the campaign’s creative (see photo), provided additional excitement and chatter.
  • RThe Sun Drop teams challenged consumers to “Drop it like it’s hot!”

Results

  • Brand Ambassadors visited more than 200 locations
  • An average of over 1,100 cold product samples per handed out each event day with over 80,000 samples distributed
