Xmas promotion

[popp665]

Just an idea I had that seems to work quite well....

I got hold of a load of "me to you" bubble bath sets for 50p each, put a "winning ticket" in some tubz vending and advertised the fact on the machine (put one tub in each machine with a ticket in), left the set behind the bar at the pub and if you buy the tub with the winning ticket in you claim the prize.

So far seems to have increased sales quite a bit, worth considering for others maybe?

I dont get it? Surely they can see the pot with the ticket in and just buy that when it gets to the bottom? Or am I once again being stupid?

[popp665]

No its stuck under the lid so the stickers round the edge conceal it.

[Snackmore]

Oh I see, in that case what a fab idea! What roughly have you seen your sales increase by?

[popp665]

Well not a huge amount but enough to be worthwhile, I think it grabs a bit of attention to the machine and ive used the me 2 you logo which is a good people grabber (although not sure of the legality of doing this!)
I was lucky to be able to get hold of them dirt cheap through my main job so definatley worth the while for me and a nice xmas present for my customers!

[Snackmore]

Excellent, well done certainly worth considering in the new year when sales slow down

What a Great idea !! why dont one of the suppliers have a win £500 in cash if you find the lucky ticket??? big logo on the top of towers win £500. surely gotta be worth a look?

[glennborthwick]

great idea but being a killjoy arent there some gambling legalities

[Coin Operated Group]

Its not classed as gambling I dont think

It's a great idea for operators to run as a promotion, but I wouldn't buy from a supplier offering it as promotion. The last thing I would want is customers requesting a particular brand because it is being promoted in that way.
