Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Running a cooking contest that requires contestants to use the new skillet will showcase the skillet's unique features, set it apart from other skillets on the market, and create a positive buzz around the brand. It will also encourage people to try out the new skillet and potentially purchase it in the future. On-pack coupons, price-off packages, and bonus packs are more effective for promoting repeat purchases and encouraging customers to switch to a different brand. A loyalty marketing program is also more effective for retaining customers and promoting repeat purchases.
