Slim Chickens Branding Consumers

Regular readers of this blog understand the undercurrents driving consumer adoption including food marketing that is consumer interactive and participatory.  Steven Johnson, Grocerant Guru® at Tacoma, WA based Foodservice Solutions® suggest that brand influencers are 5X more efficient at re-engaging an existing customer to come back for another visit than other forms of marketing.  

So, when Slim Chickens debuts a new line of summer apparel it was clear that they understand the undercurrents driving customer adoption within the food space today according to Johnson. Slim Chickens customers can use the gear to try and win free food for a year through the brand’s “Chill with Slim” social media contest thus interactive and participatory.

Slim Chickens influencers can now display their Slim’s pride through a new line of summer merchandise, including everything from cooler bags and pool floaties to beach towels and croakies. So, addition to being the best dressed at the pool or beach, Slim Chickens customers can use the gear to try and win free food for a year through the brand’s “Chill with Slim” social media contest.

To enter, customers must post a photo or video of themselves on Facebook, Instagram or Twitter showing how they will “Chill With Slim” this summer.
