ACTIVATIONPRINCIPLES
1. ACTIVATE AT “FIRST MOMENT OF TRUTH”
The at-a-glance and intuitive nature of the Product of the Year award makes it an effective credentialing device at point of purchase.
2. REFERENCE THE 40,000
Consumers respond to knowing that winning products have been voted on by shoppers like them. 44% of shoppers are likely to buy a product recommended by 40,000 consumers (TNS Research)
3. INTEGRATE INTO MESSAGE
Most effective communication of the Product of the Year award is integrated within the brand message, not merely stand alone.
4. NOT MEANT FOR THE CORNER
The Product of the Year logo was purposely designed and tested to “pop” and attract attention across all marketing environments.
5. EXTEND THE “NEW”
Product of the Year is not only designed to strengthen the communication of “new”, but once the 6 month window of claiming “new” closes, the Product of the Year logo extends the perception of news for products in the market
PRESS RELEASE
Prepare and release an announcement of the Product of the Year win for distribution on February 12th 2016
Emphasize the specifics of your product innovation and reference that Product of the Year is a consumer based award for innovation
Use Brand Team quote to integrate other consumer related data/insights
Consider a dedicated execution highlighting the Product of the Year award
Develop within the character of the brand
If a dedicated executionis not possible, note that several winners repurpose existing creative and simply “tag" the Product of Year logo within body copy
Adding copy like “Voted #1” while also referencing the number of consumers and the category is a driver in lifting consumer purchase interest
Develop an execution that allows the Product of the Year logo to “pop” and be noticed
TELEVISION
A growing number of winners are developing dedicated TV spots to announce the Product of the Year win
A dedicated message allows the spot to be executed as a :15 and within the character of the brand
Most winners repurpose existing product launch spots, tagging the Product of the Year win as a :05 tag
End frame should be both see / say of the award, referencing both name of category and # of consumers voting
FSI
A dedicated FSI featuring the Product of the Year logo has proven to increase coupon redemption consideration by 24%
Consider featuring Product of the Year in the headline, announcing the award
Include category name and # of consumers
FSI
Execute copy to announce the award in the context of the product innovation and within the character of the brand
Highlight logo and “Voted #1” copy with the number of consumers and category
PACKAGING
Logo treatment is highly dependent on available label real estate
Ensure greatest impact by placing logo in context of important product attribute information, product claims or dominant package features (i.e. lids / tops)
The required # of consumers voting and category name can be referenced on back if packaging space is limited
Registering the Product of the Year logo on package has proven breakthrough on shelf and positively impacts purchase consideration
PACKAGING
Most effective activation on package includes a front and back execution of the Product of the Year logo.
Back of package logo execution may contain more information of the Product of the Year award.
Side of pack execution should also be a consideration depending on how product is shelved.
PACKAGING
IRC
The Product of the Year logo featured on IRC’s and Neck tags is an effective device for further driving coupon redemption and overall purchase interest
NECK TAG
PACKAGING
Neck tags are a flexible and cost effective device for featuring the Product of the Year logo. It has proven helpful in driving coupon redemption, and overall purchase interest
NECK TAG
Neck tags can be expanded to provide more information of the Product of the Year award
