Pringles n' Caviar, South Park Snow Day, Pop Tarts Bowl, Planet Fitness

The Merch Drop

Happy New Year! In the first show of 2024, here's what's on tap:

Planet Fitness collaborates with Megan Thee Stallion, releasing fitness-focused merchandise like shirts and water bottles. However, they could have expanded their range to include more diverse fitness gear.

Pringles' unexpected partnership with a caviar company demonstrates the effectiveness of unconventional brand collaborations.

The Pop-Tarts Bowl used a mascot effectively for marketing but missed a chance to further capitalize on this popularity through merchandise like toys or apparel.

Chipotle's "fan-inspired car napkin holder" is a creative product that turns a common customer habit into a branding opportunity.

South Park's "Snow Day" video game, particularly its collector's edition with exclusive merchandise, shows the value of special editions in marketing.
