(This is the part that gets the opens.)\n[ your take… ]\n———\nHere is a real one you can run this week 👇\nPer Marketing Dive, Heineken piloted an OpenTable program that rewards designated drivers, anchoring brand loyalty in on-premise dining venues without direct product consumption.\nHere's the cool part — the lever almost everyone misses (and you don't have to): reward the person who is NOT drinking your product. Designated drivers make the reservation decisions at restaurants, and if Heineken is subsidizing their meal, the group goes to Heineken-partnered venues. The venue becomes the loyalty channel, not the app. Run this: if you own a beer, spirit, or beverage brand, partner with one restaurant group or reservation platform and offer a $10-15 discount to designated drivers at partner venues. Track venue foot traffic and group size. The designated driver becomes the acquisition lever because they control where the group eats.\nWhat that means for you: reward the person who is NOT drinking your product.

Track venue foot traffic and group size. The designated driver becomes the acquisition lever because they control where the group eats.\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?
