Employee Special Delivery
Employee ”Day of Launch” Excitement Built for Launch of New Product
The Client
- International manufacturer with 400 brands, spanning 14 categories of home, personal care and foods products, introduced a new product in its detergent category under the company’s “Go Green” initiative
The Challenge
- In partnership with the manufacturer’s ad agency, help generate excitement among its 3,500 employees for the introduction of a new product tagged with the company’s “Go Green” initiative message
- Timing of project execution to match launch of major advertising campaign
- Source greenhouse near client corporate headquarters, capable of planting 3,500 plants into the caps of laundry detergent in very short turn
- Sticker 3,500 lids
- Hand-deliver plants safely in late fall in east coast climate
- Unexpected challenge - caps ended up being much smaller than anticipated and delivered late requiring sourcing new plant that would fit
The Solution
- Source a greenhouse partner within a short distance of client location
- Coordinate effort to process caps and ship to greenhouse, pot and deliver 3,500 plants to employees on the day the ad campaign broke
- Unexpected challenge - source new plant, pot and tag in one day and deliver the next by 8 AM
The Results
- Skybridge® Promotion Fulfillment secured greenhouse partner within short distance of client headquarters and coordinated effort start to finish
- Major time constraints were placed on Skybridge® Promotion Fulfillment with a delay in shipment of caps - Skybridge® Promotion Fulfillment was able to compress timeline to process caps and ship to greenhouse and turn potting in one day with delivery the next
- When lids arrived, they were too small for plant and dirt and the weather turned cold - required sourcing a hardier plant and additional labor to meet delivery deadline
- Project delivered on time and on budget through well-coordinated effort and agile, responsive partners
