Case Study

Raising Cane’s Peel the Love

Raising Cane's promotion

Overview

The marketing team at Raising Cane’s reached out to MRi to create a promotion centered around Valentine’s Day that their customers could look forward to year after year!

Seeking a promotion that would encourage repeat purchases and celebrate the theme of “One Love” that Raising Cane’s promoted with their brand, we knew we had the perfect solution for their team.

In order for customers to feel rewarded with every Cane’s purchase, we combined instant win prizes and larger collect to win prizes. This not only satisfied Cane’s fans with some good ole instant gratification, but also continued to motivate them to return to Cane’s over and over again for those sought after collect to win prizes. Together, we helped turn casual customers into repeat customers and then into loyal Raising Cane’s fans.

The promotion, titled “Peel the Love”, began with two on-pack game pieces for each cup. Cane’s offered an enticing 1 in 3 chance for consumers to win food instantly. With odds like that, you almost have to play.

Those who didn’t win food received a code to play an online game, or a letter to collect to win $100,000. With their purpose of increasing sales and building brand loyalty identified, the team at Cane’s went all in to ensure each and every consumer felt valued.

But, that’s not all! Raising Cane’s wanted to reward their fans and generate even more engagement. Keeping up with the latest trends, we created an augmented reality (AR) game called, “Lemon Launch.” Fans flipped a virtual lemon into an actual cup to get additional online gameplay codes!
