Wisconsin Brands Johnsonville, Leinenkugel’s Link Up For Beer Brats (mediapost.com)

Two Midwest summer mainstays joined forces on a new product bringing together two flavors long associated with each other.

Wisconsin brand beer Leninenkugel’s and sausage company Johnsonville partnered on the Summer Shandy Beer Brat, a grilling sausage infused with the flavor of Leinenkugel’s Summer Shandy (a shandy is a style of beer mixed with lemonade). The beer brats will be available for sale through late July at participating retailers across 19 states in the Midwest, Pacific Northwest, and Southeast. Johnsonville is also making it available for sale to consumers outside these regions through its website, while supplies last.

It’s a partnership with an air of inevitability, bringing together two brands often served alongside each other.

“Some things just belong together, and beer and bratwurst are no exceptions,” said Johnsonville Owner and Chairwoman Shelly Stayer in a release, calling the collaboration “a match made in Wisconsin.”

A Game Changer in Customer Reactivation (cohereOne.com)

As many of us know, it’s easier and more profitable to reactivate a lapsed customer than trying to gain a new one, whether through digital, postal or retail. There are many techniques that are deployed in order to identity the proper audiences in the offline world, such as RFM+ segmentation and optimization, or modeling through a co-op. All of these techniques are tried and true and should continue to be used to identify the appropriate reactivation group for any campaign. But now there is a new player in the game and it’s proving to be a game changer. CohereOne has had a long-standing relationship with the digital company 4Cite, leaning on their technology to drive many programs, which has increased our client’s digital performance. Using their digital data, 4Cite could identify the postal address for anonymous site browsers and/or cart abandoners, and thus we quickly determined that we should be using that powerful data in our postal efforts.
