To increase awareness of the promotion, USMEF is wrapping some Tokyo buses in advertising. Consumers who spot the buses featuring the U.S. beef advertising can instantly qualify for U.S. beef prize drawings by sending a photo of the bus through their mobile phone, conveying a message through Twitter or featuring an article on their personal blog. A total of 100 winners will be selected. The campaign featuring distribution of the iPhone application will run through the end of January.
“This is a great new way of connecting with busy consumers on the go, to increase their awareness of American beef and pork,” said Takemichi Yamashoji, USMEF senior marketing manager in Japan. “We see this as a communication tool that will help consumers with every aspect of the dining experience – from planning to shopping to meal preparation. It's truly exciting to put this much valuable information at our customers' fingertips.”
