When you launch a new beverage in the market, due to the lack of influence of products or brands in the market and low consumer awareness, companies hope to establish the influence of brands as soon as possible and attract consumers to have a try, so they will make some free small bottles for consumers to taste, usually 125 ml. In addition, in order to establish a consumer group, we will give tasting bottle of the main products in these tasting activities for free, and normally two bottles. Some also specialize in some road show activities, tasting and buying promotional activities at the same time. This type of promotion is pretty suitable for low-end wines, cold drinks etc..

In order to stimulate consumers to take the initiative purchase or stimulate consumers’ desire, we can print a batch of colorful redemption tickets and dispatch on street. The tickets should indicate the deadline for the promotion event, the products of the event, the way to buy gifts, and the location of the event. With these tickets, consumers can go to the terminal event selling point to join the “buy one and get one free” activities, or to get a free tasting bottle.

Attention should be paid for this kind of promotion:

A. the small ticket must be stamped to control the flow;

B. the distribution of the dense consumption cluster for the terminal;

C. the best distribution points should be: resident community, trade fairs, supermarkets, shopping malls etc..

Make statistics on the number of each distribution points before and after the release, and make statistics on the feedback rate, so as to adjust the strategy. The time of the activity should not be too long, a period of 15 days or 20 days would be ideal. Guarantee the timely delivery of the event’s point of sale.

The so-called experience promotion is to embed the company’s brand image and brand promotion guide into a certain part of the consumer’s consumption process. For example, if you buy 10 wedding wines, you can get a business car as the wedding car for a day, and a birthday party with 5 wines to provide a birthday cake. You should implant the brand elements in this promotion, in order to effectively enhance the brand image and brand awareness.

Price discount is an important way to attract consumers to buy. In the process of practical application, it is divided into direct discount and indirect discount. The former is to directly reduce the sales price of the product, while the latter does not change the price, but allows the consumer to get more products at the same price. The former is more sensitive and tends to cause larger sales changes, the latter has a buffering process psychologically. The advantages are: result quickly; increases sales in the short term; increases the purchase amount; has an strong impact on consumers; the most effective action against competitors. This kind of promotion is welcomed by middlemen like supermarket and is more welcomed by the salesmen of the company. Disadvantages are: can not help long-term sales growth; lead to difficulties to resume normal product prices; low profits; long-term continuous price cuts will damage the brand image; damage the “brand loyalty” of consumers; these is no big attraction to new customers; it is very easy to initiate a price war or a competitor’s fight back.

However, this form is likely to lead to consumer promotion dependence or promotion fatigue. It is necessary to cooperate with certain forms of promotional themes to let consumers feel the meaning and value of the promotion.

For example, we have a client sells wines, they told sundaypromotion.com/new a valuable promotional activity. They launched a large-scale promotion campaign called “Good wine gives good friends” in some business hotels. The creative idea is that as long as you have bought their wine for a long time at the hotel, you can fill out a card to your good friend who has not been in contact for a long time, they will sent out a bottle of wine gift set to your friend in a week based on the address you filled in.

The results were surprisingly good, the sales was quickly increased.

However, with the flood of promotional gift applications, consumers are becoming more and more numb to promotional gift. So for companies, the choice and design of the gifts must be to grasp the gift premium value, so that consumers feel worth for their money, generally in the gift must have a collection value, for example, custom cork coasters in creative designs.

Points include collecting scores and collecting purchase bill. Consumer can get a free gifts or another free bottle of drinks according to different point level.

Point promotion is suitable for products with large sales volume like daily dinks, only when consumers have enough demand then they can stimulate a buying impulse.

Point promotion requires a certain period of time, so it is suitable for products with short consumption cycles, high frequency of purchase, and large amount purchases, such as low-end and mid-range wines, beer, etc., so that consumers can get benefits in a short period of time. The prizes are the fundamental purpose to attract consumers to participate, and the participation method and redemption involve should be very convenience.

It is a very good promotion for beer during the world cup Champaign.
