Featured Case Studies

Lay's Get Your Smile On

Objective
Lay’s® potato chips was seeking a program that would increase purchase frequency for its single-serve bags (1.5 oz.) in cafeterias, food service locations, quick-service restaurants and vending locations during the fourth quarter of 2006. The overall brand objective was to increase loyalty to Lay’s chips and perpetuate the tagline of “Get Your Smile On”.

At the same time, Lay’s wanted to connect the dots between its goals and Frito-Lay’s National Football League sponsorship to leverage the most powerful property in sports. Frito Lay has official salty snack status with the NFL and can extend that designation to any of its brands.

As with most Frito Lay programs, success would be measured by overall sales versus the previous year through the food service, vending and QSR channels. Web site entries and hits on Lays.com would also be important bellwethers.

Target consumers were both males 18-24 who over-index in food service channels and gatekeeper moms. In addition to reaching consumers, Lay’s hoped to engage its field sales representatives and key accounts such as deli store franchisees, cafeteria operators (Sodexho Marriott) and vending operators.
