“Creativity and effectiveness are key to winning this much coveted award,” said Steve Slagle, CAE, PPAI president. “As these winning programs illustrate, there is no limit to the application of a promotional products program. A very simple program can win a Pyramid Award if it is successful at meeting the client’s objective.”

CONSUMER PROGRAMS

Program Goal: To reach kids ages 7 to 14 with a pro-dairy message, strengthening dairy awareness and demand in the youth market.

Execution: The 2007 “Kitch’N Kids” campaign challenged kids to submit their own recipe incorporating a dairy product for breakfast, lunch, dinner or a snack. For kids, the vibrant, brightly colored in-store display (and the lure of a $10,000 prize) was irresistible. For parents, the possibility of getting kids involved in the kitchen and eating more dairy (“3-A-Day™”) was also a big plus. After Once the first round of winners had been selected, a final cook-off lead to a book of winning recipes and in-store demonstrations featuring guest appearances by the winning kids from each location. During the in-store demos, branded recipe cards, spatulas and measuring cups were distributed to shoppers. Participation and enthusiasm ran high throughout the campaign due to the seamless integration of in-store radio and supporting print media.
Results: A total of 225,000 recipe books were distributed and sales of milk, cheese and yogurt increase 8% across the four sponsoring stores.
