1) Colorado Native is a brewery located in Colorado that launched a brand using both grassroots and high-tech marketing including SnapTags - 2D barcodes on their packaging and materials that consumers could scan with their phones. 2) The SnapTags initiated interactive experiences and relationships by prompting consumers with questions, trivia, and the ability to join a mobile alert community. This enabled Colorado Native to build a engaged community and have direct conversations with consumers. 3) Colorado Native saw success with several loyalty programs run through the SnapTags including contests, donations, surveys and retail partnerships that further promoted engagement and participation from consumers.

Notes de l'éditeur
- We have a tiny brewhouse located in the middle of the Coors brewery in Golden, COThe company was created to be an incubator for new brandsThe mission is to develop a brand to a point where the parent company can expand itNeed to launch with small budgets as a microbrewer would required us to innovate new ways to go to market
- KnipWe began our new brand with a search for a competitive advantage – Colorado only MALTWe can make a beer that no other brewer can make – MaltstersEncouraged farmers to plant hop rhizomesSince we had to use Colorado-grown hops, the recipe was dictated by the varieties of hopsWe found Centennials, Chinooks and Cascades grow bestThe result was an Amber Lager with malt forward flavor and a citrus hoppy finish We knew we had a winner because the beer closely resembled an IPA or a Pale AlePale Ales are the most popular style among young craft beer drinkers Style dictated the target consumer –craft beer drinkers – male and female – 21-35 years oldThe vision for the brand Colorado Native was to build a local community among our target beer drinkers in ColoradoWe aspired to be a brand of the people, by the people and for the peopleWe wanted Native to be more about our consumers and less about our brand messagesIn the past we have engaged in a monologue of brand information….we wanted to engage in a dialogue about what is important in their life and how we can enhance it10 minutes
- Our target consumer is somewhat “anti-marketing”They want to learn of the latest “cool” things from their friends and trusted advisors…like bartenders and waitstaff…..not from some marketer like meThey also can be difficult and expensive to findI was talking to a group of 120 college seniors…………asked for a show of handsIt became clear to me that to reach our target, I would have to go where they are…..on their phonesSo to create our local community my objective became to Cause the consumer to reach for their phone when they were served their beerThe logical decision was to use two-dimensional mobile bar codes
- We looked at many alternativesWe looked at QR codes, JagTags, Shot codes and Microsoft’s version
- As you can see we selected SpyderLynk’s SnapTags because of the its ability to allow us to use our logoIt required no software download or App downloadTruly interactiveIt can go viral very quicklyTied in with our social media plan……it also didn’t hurt that it was invented by a local start-up firm in Denver, so it fit our “all Colorado” strategyUp until now, no consumer packed goods marketer had put a SnapTag on their packaging…..most were found in print adsWe were proud to be the first to use SnapTag technology on our packaging
- I would like to stop and make a point here………….Notice there are two versions of the SnapTag picturedSince our target is so driver by discovery, we elected to remove the instructionsMost SnapTags you will see will look like the one on your right– “instructions included”Honestly, the verdict is still out on that decision……..by eliminating the instructions, many people thought the Snaptag was just our logoSo by playing to the “discovery” element of our target consumers, we drastically slowed the awareness process
- So in summary, we knew SnapTags would enable us to: Activate a consumer experience where ever a brand impression was delivered; often while the consumer was experiencing the beer itselfIt gave us the ability for Colorado Native to build and engage a community in sustaining direct marketing efforts It gave us the ability to learn what is important to our consumers life in Colorado and become part of itIt gave us the ability to conduct a dialogue instead of a monologue
- So now we have our strategyWe will engage our target consumer when they are interacting with the brand………at the POPWe will enroll them in a community of Colorado Native enthusiasts We will use SpyderLynk to learn about them and to engage in a dialogue We’ll learn ways to become part of and to enhance their life in Colorado

- NicoleTalking Points: So we streamlined the questions
- One of the first interactions we created was a contest to guess the score of the Colorado Rockies opening gameThe winner would win tickets to a future Rockies gameWe had 22% of our community enter a guess………not bad for our first interaction
- I mentioned earlier that we encouraged local farmers to plant hop rhizomes so we could get enough hops to make Colorado Native from 100% Colorado-grown hopsTo date, Colorado Native is only 99 and 89/100th percent Colorado grownHop production has not been able to keep up with the demand for the beer – we have had to buy some hops from Yakama, WAOur community know about our shortfall of Colorado-grown hops, so we sent out a call for helpWe offer to send hop rhizomes to our community so they could plant them in their yard and help increase the Colorado-grown hop supplyWord spread fast and we had to cut off the promotion in a matter of days…………we received over 500 requests for rhizomesThose hops are being harvested and sent to us. And every one that participated receives a patch for their shirt or jacket -Click
- We are delighted to have 500 people telling all their friend to drink Colorado Native because they helped grow the hops for it
- Another way we use SnapTags is to allow our community to decide where our charitable gifts are made….many companies decide where they will make charitable donations…..we let our community decideWe allocate 25 cent per case to be awarded to the charities that our community selectWe select four charities and let them vie for the money by voting with SnapTagsThis is another instance where they tell all of their friend to buy Colorado Native, snap a tag and vote for themHere’s a picture of the winners from the most recent contest.
- The Continental Divide Trail Alliance helps maintain the trail that runs the length of the Continental DivideThis organization won the vote for the most recent charity giveback Nicole

- Nicole Talking Points Every 10th snap is a "winner“Winner message: "Happy Birthday Colorado. Thanks for snapping. You are a winner! See the Colorado Native rep. for your prize.“Non-winner message: "Happy Birthday Colorado. Thanks for snapping. Sorry, you are not a winner.“
- NicoleTalking Points: A lot of press coverage about the SnapTag’s integration into Colorado Native’s marketing was generated following the launch
- Nicole
- Nicole - Brand Launch Promotional Activity drove strong activity Participation was much stronger during promotional time periods
- Nicole
- In summaryWe have found SnapTags and interactive marketing to be a strong tool in building a community of brand users over a virtual platformAs you might guess, we have learned that continuous programming is required to keep the community engagedAnd lastly that using SnapTags on our packaging is an effective driver for building strong consumer relationships
