With ever-growing popularity, brands should leverage on the increasing traction to build their image. Here is an example to fuel your sports marketing ideas!

About this Bottle Glorifier

Chivas Regal‘s bottle glorifier/POS Display Units wows us in many odd ways. The use of Red and Black not only stands out but also matches Manchester United’s kit colours. Brands usually go for a more premium, warm feel when marketing their beverages, thus the use of red, black, and lights definitely helps both the bold bottle glorifier and POS stand out!

The LED poster was also a great addition to their custom POS display. It suits Chivas Regal’s brand motto, “Success is a Blend.” We’ve also noticed that they had incorporated a custom shelf talker to augment their current promotion.

Brand Leverage

Manchester United has the best social media presence in the Premier League. Here are the numbers, 72m fans on Facebook, 19.2m followers on Twitter, and 28.3m followers on Instagram, proving that Manchester United has a huge social media presence. Even their Youtube Channel has amassed a whopping 1.6 m subscribers. This has translated to their shirt sales. Manchester United are second in the world for the most amount of shirt sold, averaging close to 1.9m shirts yearly. With a proven business track record, forming a collaboration with the club might prove to be a wise decision as brands would be able to hold sports promos which tap into the brand’s following to market their products and convert sales.

Being able to leverage on the Club’s popularity not only increases your brand exposure but also helps customers relate your brand with something they are passionate about. This increases the chances of a new customer buying your product, as although they have no experience with your product they already feel they are able to relate to your brand.
