SNAP TV Tackles Orville Popcorn

To increase impulse sales of its Orville Redenbacher’s Gourmet Popping Corn among snackers stricken with NCAA March Madness, ConAgra Foods is partnering with Snap TV Games for an instant-win promo.

One in 10 specially marked boxes of Redenbacher’s popcorn will contain a mini DVD of Snap TV’s College Basketball trivia challenge game, which features video clips and questions highlighting key players and moments. Consumers can go online and enter a promo code at Orville.com to win additional prizes, such as season tickets to local games, flat screen TVs and Snap TV DVDs. Ryan Partnership is ConAgra’s agency.

“It’s a low-cost premium with a higher perceived value than a CDR or an iTunes download,” said Jason Tenenbown, marketing and business development manager for Snap TV Games. For ConAgra, it’s a chance to drive incremental impulse popcorn purchases, he said, while it gets his games awareness.

ConAgra will tout the sweeps on 2.5 million boxes of Redenbacher’s three packs of Movie Theater Butter, Butter and Smart Pop! Butter flavor, and insert 250,000 games.

A budget was not disclosed, but ConAgra will support with FSIs sent to 40 million homes. The promotion runs through May.
