(This is the part that gets the opens.)\n[ your take… ]\n———\nHere is a real one you can run this week 👇\nHeineken piloted a program with OpenTable that rewards designated drivers, per Marketing Dive, turning a liability moment into a brand loyalty moment.\nHere's the cool part — the lever almost everyone misses (and you don't have to): identify the person in your customer's life who is excluded from your product moment and build a loyalty reward FOR THEM. Heineken drinks are bought by the driver's friends, not the driver. So reward the driver's next dinner. This shifts the brand from a product play to an occasion play — you are not selling beer, you are selling the occasion. The non-customer in the occasion becomes your distribution partner. Every restaurant reservation becomes a Heineken brand touchpoint.\nWhat that means for you: identify the person in your customer's life who is excluded from your product moment and build a loyalty reward FOR THEM. Heineken drinks are bought by the driver's friends, not the driver. So reward the driver's next dinner. This shifts the brand from a product play to an occasion play — you are not selling beer, you are selling the occasion. The non-customer in the occasion becomes your distribution partner. Every restaurant reservation becomes a Heineken brand touchpoint.\nIf you make, sell, or gift anything with your name on it — this is yours to run. You can do this.\n(Real, not theory — Marketing Dive: https://www.marketingdive.com/news/heineken-pilots-opentable-program-that-rewards-designated-drivers/826292/.)\n———\nOr — want it built FOR you?
