Oscar Mayer rewards fans by creating a campaign that promotes viral sharing.
The more people that share, the more money fans save on their products.
• Oscar Mayer offers consumers a coupon to try the product, and encourages
them to come back to share a “Taste-a-Monial” and receive a second
coupon.
• For every 5,000 people who share their Taste-a-Monial, the value of the
coupon will increase by $0.50.
• The value continues to increase until
the deal becomes a free pack of
hot dogs, or until the promotion
ends on August 15.
• At that point, everyone who shared
a Taste-a-Monial will be rewarded
their coupon.
