Today's Idea for the Wholesalers/Distributors Industry
   

Type of Promotion: Promote Community Spirit/Pride
Product(s) Used: Hats, T-Shirts, Sweatshirts
Method(s) Applied:   Promotional Distribution
       
To augment a speech given by the company's owner at a local rotary club meeting, the owner distributed hats imprinted with "I love livin' in Zanesville (Ohio)." Costs of the hats were covered by donations from area businesses. This idea led to the distribution of 800 more hats, 1,200 each of buttons and bumper stickers and 500 T- and sweatshirts, all bearing the same copy. The visibility of the items led to them being seen on television and other media and being bought by the town chamber of commerce to sell as fundraisers. The promotion created an overall increase in community pride. A song was recorded about the town following the promotion.
