The Merch Drop

Happy New Year! In the first show of 2024, here's what's on tap:

Planet Fitness collaborates with Megan Thee Stallion, releasing fitness-focused merchandise like shirts and water bottles. However, they could have expanded their range to include more diverse fitness gear.

Pringles' unexpected partnership with a caviar company demonstrates the effectiveness of unconventional brand collaborations.

The Pop-Tarts Bowl used a mascot effectively for marketing but missed a chance to further capitalize on this popularity through merchandise like toys or apparel.

Chipotle's "fan-inspired car napkin holder" is a creative product that turns a common customer habit into a branding opportunity.

South Park's "Snow Day" video game, particularly its collector's edition with exclusive merchandise, shows the value of special editions in marketing.

We kick things off with Gold Peak Iced Tea's nifty iPhone accessory: we explore how it transforms everyday moments into the coveted 'golden hour' with a simple clip-on filter. Then, we jet over to Australia where Matilda Bay is shaking things up by giving away merch from more popular brands, cheekily promoting their Hazy Lager as your 'second favorite beer'.

Tito's Vodka brings the holiday spirit with their 'kinda ugly' holiday collection, where the proceeds go to dog charities – a heartwarming touch for the festive season. Meanwhile, Bark teams up with Dunkin' in the Dogs for Joy program, offering adorable dog toys that mimic Dunkin' products, with proceeds going to charity.

Finally, KFC gets in on the holiday action with their new bucket design and a range of merch, including a cozy hoodie and clever finger-lickable gloves, perfect for chicken enthusiasts.

It's a whirlwind tour of how brands are getting creative with their promotional products, blending fun, functionality, and a dash of charity work.

We're dissecting the ingenuity behind the promotional strategies by Oscar Mayer, Hampton Inn, Cheetos Mac n Cheese, and Taylor Swift. Each case study reveals unique branding maneuvers designed to engage customers and promote brand loyalty.

Oscar Mayer's silicone hot dog straw, an inventive product that originated from fan interaction at a baseball game. It's a prime example of consumer-driven innovation executed brilliantly.

Hampton Inn's celebration of National Waffle Day: with an assortment of waffle-themed merchandise, from fanny packs to throw blankets, Hampton Inn capitalizes on an iconic part of its brand, the breakfast experience.

Cheetos Mac n Cheese's foray into fashion through a partnership with Project Runway's Corel Castillo. With macramé fanny packs and high-top sneakers, Cheetos uses this unexpected collaboration to venture beyond the snack aisle and into lifestyle branding.

Taylor Swift translates her ERAS Tour into a cinematic experience complete with branded popcorn buckets and collectible cups. The initiative serves as a testament to how merchandise can enhance brand engagement and even create secondary revenue streams.

Merch mash-ups: where creativity knows no bounds! On this episode of the Big Promocast, we're dancing with some delightful and unconventional brand collaborations that will tickle your taste buds and surprise your soles (get it, like shoes?).

First, we slip into Crocs' culinary journey, where Pop-Tarts meet edible gummies to decorate your... Crocs! These gummies aren't the magical kind, but they sure do make for a fashionable snack. Crocs continue to strut their funky fun, marching proudly at the crossroads of food-inspired footwear.

Savor the s'mores sensation with Jetpuffed Marshmallows and Kizik Shoes. Who knew walking on marshmallows could be so literal? And at $120, maybe they're not for everyone, but hey, at least they look toasty.

WWE has teamed up with Igloo for a championship belt fanny pack cooler that holds four cans. Wrestle your thirst away with this fan-centric creation that's cooler than a pile driver and will grab you like the Iron Claw.

Mustard Skittles - There I said it. French's and Skittles stir up some piquant excitement with this limited-time sensation. Oh, the world of merch opportunists!

Natural Light has an oddly intriguing upcycling collab with Sperry, giving your old boat shoes a new lease on life as...can holders? Yeti releases a scorching $400 skillet that's causing a stir (pun intended). Ever thought you needed a crossbody bag to keep your ice cream cold? Neither did I, but Halo Top seems to think it's an essential accessory for National Ice Cream Day. Plus, we'll touch on how other ice cream brands are using merch to whip up some extra business.

And lastly, it seems Barbie has stepped off the runway and onto...everything! She's got her pink-streaked touch on all sorts of merch right now and it's causing quite a stir.

With National Fried Chicken Day, KFC has dropped a summer merch line that's finger-licking awesome. From beach towels to bucket hats and even fancy Shady Rays sunglasses.

Rao's Italian restaurant sauces and their interactive experience? Browse through their virtual shop, filling up your 'passport' with stickers... Sounds fun, right? Just wait into the suprise ending. AND the $1000 handbag! Baffling.

The Bear is back on Hulu! The trailer shows a misprinted t-shirt, and instantly 'Original Berf' (not Beef) shirts are everywhere. Nathan's hot dog contest with its cornucopia of branded merch. Jerseys, inflatable boomsticks, foam hot dog hats, signage, you name it.

In this episode, we dive into exciting collaborations and promotional ideas from top brands like Crocs, Taco Bell, Coors Light, Cholula, and Raising Cane's Chicken Fingers.

Crocs and Taco Bell announced a limited-edition Mellow Slide - a perfect blend of the two brands' identities. Crocs leverages partnerships with influential brands, such as Disney, Marvel, NBA, Star Wars, and Nickelodeon, to engage audiences.

Cholula did a collab with and UPRISERS, a streetwear brand committed to uplifting underrepresented communities. Their limited-edition merch flew off the shelves, underscoring the potential of branded merch in connecting with younger audiences.

Coors Light's has a creative workaround NFL's advertising restrictions, introducing a refreshing 'bear' (not beer!) that supports a charitable cause. We question the strategy of limited pre-sales and emphasize the importance of fulfilling customer demand.

And we wrap up with Raising Cane's Chicken Fingers: first, a store designed by Post Malone and and it's collector cup promotion. We also take a peek at the new flagship store in Times Square and their location-specific merch.
