If you are thinking about how you can extend brand engagement and visibility, consider using imprinted bags.

These limited-edition Zongzi bags are exclusive branded redemption gifts. Zongzhi is a traditional rice dish in China and is usually eaten during the Dragon Boat Festival. Popularly known as rice dumpling, zongzhi is is stuffed with different mouth-watering fillings. But how does this connect with Starbucks’ branded bags?
Well Zongzhi is wrapped in bamboo leaf in triangular or rectangular shape. As you can see from the photo, the small pouch resembles the traditional glutinous rice delicacy. Since it is really popular during the Dragon Boat Festival, which is held around June 25, it only makes sense to offer these bags as summer promotional items.

While we love Starbucks’ promotional strategy, we feel that they could have made their marketing more engaging if they made the mechanics for redeeming the bags clear. Having an English translation on their adverts will help them target a larger consumer base. Doing so may save them time because they won’t have to explain to their non-Chinese speaking customers how they can obtain their limited-edition bags.
