In March 2023, Heinz made a subtle but brilliant move to protect their brand. 🔍 The problem: Restaurants and cafés were refilling Heinz bottles with cheaper ketchup, fooling customers. 💡 The solution? Heinz developed a label that perfectly matches the color of their iconic ketchup. If the shade on the label and the ketchup inside don’t match—it’s a fake! The results were impressive: ✅ According to the agency, 97% of consumers were able to discern real Heinz ketchup from imitations. ✅ This led to a 73% decrease in non-Heinz ketchup refills and a 24% increase in Heinz ketchup usage in street food restaurants. This tactic is genius because it protects the trust consumers place in the Heinz brand. It’s no longer just about taste; it’s about upholding quality and authenticity in every customer interaction. As marketers, this is a masterclass in brand consistency. Heinz recognised that even minor details—like the color of ketchup—matter when protecting their reputation. How are you safeguarding your brand’s authenticity? #BrandTrust #MarketingInnovation #BrandProtection #Heinz #MarketingTactics

Heinz Came Up With A Genius Color Code Hack To Fight Ketchup Fraud A lot of small restaurants fill their empty Heinz bottles with other ketchup brands. Heinz wanted to do something about this “ketchup fraud”. First, they identified the exact Pantone code of their ketchup. Then, they added a border around their label that matched this color code. If the color of the ketchup didn’t match the label, the bottle didn’t have Heinz in it. If the colors matched, it’s Heinz. Heinz called it “The Label of Truth”. Check it out below.

BRAND LICENSING CANNIBALIZES RESTAURANT SALES! 😳 This is the #1 concern I hear when talking to restaurant brands about extending them into retail through brand licensing, but that couldn’t be further from the truth. If that was true then: ⭐️ Starbucks would be going out of business 🍩 Dunkin would be shutting locations, not opening new ones 🍞 Panera Bread would be filing for Chapter 11 Yet, countless studies and statistics prove the opposite (all the brands above grew in-store sales between 8-13% in 2023 AND have strong retail licensing programs). 📈 Strategic licensing has shown to boost additional moments with your brand especually when your consumers can’t physically visit your locations. So, if you believe brand licensing will cannibalize your restaurant traffic, I want you to remember the companies I listed above. Don’t miss out on being a part of your consumer’s lives when they can’t be a part of yours! #brand #licensing #restaurant #food #beverage
