FreshChoice Surprises Kepler Challenge Runners with Aid Aisle

0

Source: Press Release Service

Imagine running 60km, and as you’re about the enter the last hurdle, you’re treated to the ultimate supermarket aisle, with anything you need to get you through to the end. That’s exactly what Kepler Challenge runners were treated to yesterday thanks to FreshChoice.

Built specially to fit the Kepler track, the FreshChoice ‘Aid Aisle’ was stocked with flat soft drink, salty goods, chafing cream, fresh fruit and sweet treats to ensure there was something for every runner. Runners could pick up whatever they were craving, or have it packed and delivered to them at the finish line to fuel their post-race celebrations.

The surprise Aid Aisle was positioned 51km into the Kepler track and was first met with bewilderment from exhausted runners, quickly turning into elation when they learned they could help themselves to all the snacks and supplies needed to get them to the finish line.

The Aid Aisle was designed to pop up and disappear without leaving a trace to the track; propping reusable supermarket shelving above ground level to protect the track, using recyclable signage throughout, and donating all leftover unopened food to Fiordland Community House – helping to fuel the Te Anau community.

FreshChoice Head of Marketing, Travis Tompsett says, “FreshChoice have been a proud sponsor of the Kepler Challenge for eight years, and as a sponsor, we’ve behaved exactly as you’d expect: teardrop banners, branded hoardings, t-shirts, etc. With the advent of FreshChoice’s new brand platform: ‘That’s Shopping Different,’ we asked ourselves what does ‘Supporting Different’ look like? We know how difficult the Kepler challenge is for any runner, and wanted to show our support to this incredible community but we needed to execute through the lens of ‘Different’.”

“Traditionally, race stations are simple, and offer runners the basics they need to get to the finish line. But for taking on a challenge as extreme as the Kepler, we felt FreshChoice’s aid station had to be as equally extreme. The last 10kms of the Kepler are the worst – blisters forming, hunger striking, electrolytes low. How could FreshChoice help runners make it through to the end? How about giving them a supermarket!” says Travis.

In its 35th year, entries booked up in just 3 minutes, and hundreds of people were on the waitlist, with 450 of New Zealand’s most fearless runners and their supporters heading to Te Anau from across the country to take part in the challenge. In 2022 the Kepler Challenge brought approximately 2,000 visitors to Te Anau, and with them a massive boost to the local economy and businesses, including FreshChoice Te Anau (the only major supermarket in the region, for its 2,700 residents).

Kepler Committee Chairman Steve Norris say “It’s such an amazing weekend for the town, region and community. Bringing plenty of like-minded people into the area, to enjoy the Kepler Track and the Fiordland National Park. Always a joy to see the immense satisfaction on the face of the runners as they cross the finish line, having achieved their own personal challenge!”

As the holiday season unfolds, businesses are presented with a unique window of opportunity to elevate their campaigns. MAD Media explores the dynamic fusion of advertising and digital billboards, providing insights into why advertising during the next two months is crucial and how to effectively capture attention.

Why Advertise During December and January?

Holiday Shopping Frenzy: The months of December and January mark the peak of holiday shopping. Digital advertising during this period ensures your brand is top-of-mind when purchasing decisions are made.

Increased Traffic: With people spending more time out and about during the holiday season, the advertising landscape, online and outside, becomes a bustling marketplace.

Sustain Through January: Extend your campaigns into January to capitalize on post-holiday sales, gift card redemptions, and the ongoing festive spirit. This ensures a prolonged and impactful presence in the minds of consumers.

Capturing Attention Beyond Traditional Channels

Diversify Your Digital Strategy: Don’t solely rely on conventional digital platforms like Google AdWords or newspaper ads. Expand your horizons by integrating digital billboards into your marketing mix. Digital Billboards provide a visual feast, creating a lasting impact on audiences.

Target with Precision: Identifying your target audience is the foundation of a successful campaign. Leverage data analytics to understand the demographics, interests, and behaviours of your audience. Digital billboards can be strategically placed in locations frequented by your target demographic, ensuring maximum exposure.

Embrace Creativity in Design: The design of your digital billboards is critical. Craft visually compelling and holiday-themed advertisements that evoke emotion and resonate with the festive spirit.

Real-Time Engagement: Digital billboards offer the flexibility of real-time content updates. Use this feature to your advantage by incorporating dynamic content, countdowns to special events, or flash sales.

The Perfect Blend: Digital Marketing and Digital Billboards

Incorporating digital billboards into your digital marketing strategy during the holiday season provides a dynamic synergy. The visual impact of billboards complements online campaigns, reinforcing brand presence and fostering a holistic brand experience.

As we approach the festive season, the collaboration of digital marketing and digital billboards emerges as a powerful strategy. Make the most of MAD Media’s digital billboards in New Plymouth, Hamilton, The Base, Whanganui and Taupo.

Clyde, Central Otago, New Zealand – 30th November 2023

Monte Christo Winery, the birthplace of Central Otago wine, is thrilled to announce its grand opening, inviting wine enthusiasts and history buffs alike to explore the rich heritage of New Zealand winemaking and enjoy a unique guest experience. Located in the heart of Central Otago, Monte Christo Winery promises to be a destination like no other.

The history of Monte Christo Winery dates back to 1864 when French pioneer Jean Désiré Féraud planted grapevines and later produced the first wines in Central Otago, setting the stage for what would become a thriving winemaking region. Féraud’s innovative spirit and vision laid the foundation for irrigation, viticulture, and winemaking in the region.

Today, the Paris family, the current custodians of the property, are committed to producing some of the world’s most distinguished Pinot Noir and Chardonnay wines using organic, sustainable, and regenerative farming methods on their 22 hectares of vineyards.

The Paris family is dedicated to raising awareness of Central Otago wines on the world stage, and by restoring the winery building and continuing Féraud’s legacy, they are contributing to the region’s growth and recognition.

The inaugural wine releases include limited-production 2023 Central Otago Rosé, 2023 Central Otago Pinot Gris, 2022 Central Otago Chardonnay, 2022 Central Otago Pinot Noir, 2022 Alexandra Pinot Noir, and 2022 Bannockburn Pinot Noir. There is also a second label, 2022 CENTRAL Pinot Noir.

There’s something for everyone at Monte Christo Winery. The grounds include plenty of outdoor seating, a play area for children, and a pétanque or bocce court. There will be an unveiling of an underground wine cellar later this summer with space for larger group functions, private events, and more.

Open 7 days a week in the summer months from 10am – 6pm, guests at Monte Christo Winery can expect a memorable experience that includes:

CELLAR DOOR

Monte Christo’s cellar door is housed in the original stone winery, meticulously restored in collaboration with Heritage New Zealand. Visitors can indulge in wine tastings, wine education and genuine Southern family hospitality.

EAT

Monte Christo offers a delightful, relaxed culinary experience at “Fritzy,” the food trailer café. Our in-house chef uses fresh, locally sourced ingredients to create a range of specialty sandwiches, artisanal pizzas, platters, snacks, and barista-made coffee. The outdoor garden provides the perfect setting to relax, enjoy a light snack or lunch, and savour a glass of wine.

STAY

Stay at the historic Monte Christo Winery in Central Otago. Well-appointed guest cottages offer the perfect retreat for couples, friends, and families alike. Cottage amenities include luxury furnishings, fully self-contained kitchens, wood-burning fireplaces, and outdoor patios.

AI and the Culinary World: A Recipe for Restaurant Success

0

Source: Press Release Service

Success in the modern, highly competitive, and fast-paced restaurant industry depends on staying one step ahead of the game. Many dining establishments are using artificial intelligence (AI) to streamline operations, enhance customer experiences, and spur growth as technology develops at an accelerated rate. This essay will focus on social media and food trends as it explores five essential ways restaurant owners may use AI to grow their
businesses.

Leveraging Social Media for Marketing and Engagement
The landscape of restaurant marketing nowadays is significantly influenced by social media. By automating social media management activities, AI has the potential to revolutionize this industry. Diners may better understand their audience by using AI algorithms to examine customer interactions and sentiment on social media. It can detect social media trends, plan articles for peak interaction periods, and even produce and curate content, such as determining the most Instagrammable food. Additionally, AI can assist in finding social media influencers who can promote a brand and expand the restaurant’s online reach.

Personalizing Marketing Campaigns and Loyalty Programs
By tailoring ads and loyalty programs, AI can advance restaurant marketing. AI may divide the consumer base into various groups according to tastes, behavior, and demographics by evaluating customer data. Dining establishments may develop tailored marketing efforts that appeal to particular client segments thanks to this segmentation. To entice returning
consumers or those who haven’t come in a while, AI can, for instance, send customized offers or discounts. Eateries may increase customer retention and encourage repeat business by customizing their advertising tactics.

Anticipating and Capitalizing on Food Trends
For eateries to draw in and keep customers, being up to date on cuisine trends is essential.
By evaluating a large amount of data from multiple sources, AI can help in tracking and forecasting dietary trends. Restaurants can detect popular foods, flavors, and cuisines by using special formulas and algorithms. Artificial intelligence can identify new trends and assist businesses in changing their menus in response by examining social media posts,
food blogs, and online reviews. For instance, AI can suggest adding a certain ingredient or dish to the menu or developing a special campaign around it if it begins to acquire popularity in online discussions.

Enhancing Customer Service and Experience
The most important way AI can help establishments is through improving customer experience and service. Virtual assistants and chatbots powered by AI may take reservations, process orders, and respond to consumer concerns right away, relieving workers of some tasks and assuring a positive customer experience. By examining client information and preferences, AI may also tailor the eating experience. For instance, using
data from previous orders, an AI system in a restaurant can recommend menu items or present specialized deals based on customer preferences.

Optimizing Inventory Management and Supply Chain
In order to cut expenses and waste, eateries must manage their inventories effectively. By offering precise demand estimates based on historical sales data, seasonal trends, and other pertinent aspects, AI can be helpful. Restaurants can reduce food deterioration and overstocking by optimizing inventory levels, which will result in cost savings and benefits for
sustainability. By following shipments in real time, anticipating potential delays or problems, and offering alternate providers when necessary, AI can also be used to streamline the supply chain. This guarantees that diners have access to a consistent source of supplies and food.

In conclusion, artificial intelligence is transforming the restaurant business in a variety of ways, from improving customer service to streamlining inventory control. Owners and operators of eateries should harness the potential of AI and use it as a tactical instrument for expansion if they want to flourish in the current market. By doing this, establishments may produce a dining experience that is more effective, individualized, and innovative and encourages repeat business.
