The choices of free treats include Cheese & Bacon topping for the WHOPPER sandwich, a slice of Hershey®’s Pie or a medium Frozen Coke®. The company expects that offering WHOPPER lovers these tasty added values will help drive traffic to their 8,300 U.S. restaurants for the three-week, no-games, treats- only promotion. The recommended prices of the WHOPPER sandwich and WHOPPER sandwich Value Meal are $1.99 and $3.49, respectively.
”We want our customers to play with their food and have some fun with it. What better way to have fun than with free treats?” said Stefan Bomhard, senior vice president of North American marketing for Burger King Corporation ”This promotion rewards loyal customers and gives them another compelling reason to visit our restaurants.”
The ”Every WHOPPER Is A Winner” promotion will be supported with national television commercials created by McCann-Erickson, the new general market agency of record for U.S. adult advertising. The two :30 second spots, ”She Digs Me” and ”Hospital,” highlight the combination of the WHOPPER sandwich purchase and the three free treats. These spots are the latest in ”THE WHOPPER SAYS:(TM)” series of commercials launched earlier this month. In- restaurant merchandising also carries the tasty, no-games message to BURGER KING® customers.
