Johnnie Walker had an interesting promotion recently at the Las Vegas Airport. At a glance, the promotional item looks like a premium case. However upon close inspection, it is not just a stylish container for the bottle as it doubles as a useful ice bucket! This is a truly fantastic promotional idea by Johnnie Walker, so carry on reading to found out more details.

Why is this promotional ice bucket a great idea from Johnnie Walker?

  • Design: You have the silver half to hold your bottle and blue half to keep your drinks chilled. What a creative way of re-using bottle container! Who says containers are merely for packaging purpose? The design of this cooler is extremely stylish, and with the logo on it, it can provide free advertising for brand during usage. This promo is a great example of how it can be transformed into an effective marketing tool.
  • Perceived value: Inclusion of premium promotional packaging is another great way to increase your perceived value. Adding value through packaging  means that a customer’s first impression of your product will be that of high quality. This will instantly associate your brand with luxury, improving your brand image. It also increases what they are willing to pay for your products.
  • Stimulate Sales: Besides the single pack, the party pack promo was also available. The set includes 2 glasses, an ice tong and of course, a bottle of blue label. Whichever deal customers decided to go for, you can be sure that they felt they got good value for money. Including additional items with the purchase adds value to the original product offering. This encourages the customer to purchase the product, and feel satisfied with it as well.
