A series of promotional adventures were developed around a" Taste For Adventure " theme for selected Restaurant Chains and licensed establishments.

In order to win, consumers were invited to order Molson instead of their regular brand or purchase the brand at the LCBO. Impaq developed TV, Radio and Newspaper advertising and supported the event nationally with "Themed Nights“. Actual Combat fights in real jets, Cessna flight training, white water rafting, paint ball combat, car racing and 4 GM Trackers were offer as Grand prizing.

The promotion dramatically drove market share surpassing share targets and more than doubling Marketing and Sales objectives by a factor of 2.3 times. Customer and distributor acceptance ranking for the promotion came in at 97%; the highest rating ever posted for a Molson's promotion.

Two promotions were developed for Cadbury Neilson but with only one display.

We printed a "Back to School" contest on one side of the Header Card and a "Halloween Promotion" on the reverse inside. Once the lead promotion was completed at the end of the first week of September, the Sales force simply flipped the header card inside out to display the "Halloween Promotion" on the reverse inside.

Sales for the period didn't increases by 10 or 15%, but by + 400%. Cadbury was two to three weeks earlier than the competition, were able to get 3 and in some cases 4 "sell ins" compared to the traditional 2 "sell ins" for the same Back to School / Halloween period.

Impaq innovation at its best!

In Store Promotion

Impaq developed a promotion for Neilson Cadbury to leverage the excitement and interest associated with The Phantom of the Opera and to celebrate the merging of the two sales forces.

Buyers and spouses were invited to a special kick off dinner and stay over at the luxurious King Edward Hotel.

All was hosted by Neilson Cadbury Sales Team.

After dinner, Buyers and wives joined the Neilson Sales and their wives for an evening at the "Opera“.

The cost was amortizing by going to market with a Phantom of the Opera consumer contest. The special night proved to be just the right approach in getting Buyers to turn out, and proved to be a big hit with spouses.

As the VP of Sales stated, the evening provided a great opportunity and provided incalculable long-term benefits.

Displays were designed with the “Bick's Pickle Guy” together with whimsical Hot Dog and Hamburger 3D characters.

Sales incentives and a Merchandising kit were developed by Impaq to promote creative displays and in store use of all POS materials.

A Merchandising manual and Merchandising contest awarded individual salesmen and Sales regions for their successes.

By actual count, the number of displays and features were more than double those of the previous year, and the promotion exceeded objectives by a factor of +200%.

Promotion graphics were an immediate hit with the Sales team, Retailers and Consumers alike. Many Retailers kept display pieces, and put them up again the following year; a highly effective use of limited funds.

ChallengeReposition a declining brand without advertising and virtually no consumer budget.

StrategyWe repositioned the declining strand spaghetti product and introduced “Strand Man”. Value was added with, a series of on label cartoonsSpecially marked cans promoted the line of toys and carried an instant win contest on the inside label.

Non-winning labels carried high value discount coupons from a Mattel. For the nominal cost of a simple label change the brand was able to reverse its decline, and actually posted increases in both Sales and Market Share. Subsequently a TV ad was developed in support of the newly repositioned brand.

An innovative Big Idea that went the distance in driving our client's business.
