The Solution
A national field sales sampling campaign to drive sales and brand awareness, presenting operators with a free case of stock accompanied with a recipe booklet of how best to use the sauces both front and back of house.
Firstly, Jellybean had to identify operators McCormick envisage Frank’s RedHot Cayenne Pepper Sauce and French’s Classic Yellow Mustard to be stocked in, pinpointing smaller casual dining operators in London, Manchester, Leeds and Liverpool. Once the target operators were recognised, the routes were planned, and the team had been kitted up in the brightest yellow gear – we were ready to roll.
Jellybean decided to tackle each city over the course of three days, making surprise visits to 1,374 operators. Our team delivered the goods and asked the operators for consent of their details, key questions around the sauces they currently use and the wholesaler they typically purchase from.
