Baskin-Robbins In Valentine's Promotion

We've heard of singing for your supper, but how about dressing for your dessert? In an offbeat but timely Valentine's Day promotion, ice cream marketer Baskin-Robbins is offering a free scoop of its Love Potion No. 31 ice cream to any customer who dresses like Cupid. The deal calls for a free, 2.5 ounce scoop to be handed out to anyone who comes into a B-R store wearing a bow, arrow, hearts, the color pink, wings, and a wig with proper clothing. The ice cream is a seasonal flavor of white chocolate and raspberry ice cream swirled with raspberry ribbon and loaded with raspberry filled cups and chocolate chips. "We were trying to think of ways to have fun around Valentine's Day," said Dave Nagel, manager of brand excitement for Baskin-Robbins. "Other brands focus on the romance and a very overplayed [part] of Valentine's Day. Valentine's Day is not just about couples. It's about family and spending time with your friends." The promotion is part of Baskin-Robbins' Perfect Match campaign. As part of its Valentine's celebration, the marketer is selling two Valentine's Day ice cream cakes--the Be Mine cake and the Polka Dot cake. The ice cream cakes, which can be customized with any flavor ice cream and cake, start at $10.
