What A Clever Marketing Tie-In

Today, Seven-Eleven, the convenience store, is giving everyone who wants one a free Slurpee in honor of the date. Today is 7/11, so 7-11 is celebrating. Clever.

I miss 7Eleven slurpees.  We don't have them in MT.  I agree that it is a good marketing tool.

I have not had a slurpee in a LONG time!  I also have not been in  a 7-11 in a long time either....

Deborah,

That's too bad. Sorry. :)

Steve, If I was in Vegas for the day, I'd stop and get one for sure! But an hour and a half is a little far to go for refreshment, even if it is FREE!

Posted by Wanda Kubat-Nerdin, REALTOR® St. George, Utah (Prado & Kramer Real Estate, St. George, UT 435.632.9374) 11 months ago

Wanda,

Thought maybe you were headed that way. :)

Steve, even though I have to admit that I think Slurpees are too sweet...it's a great marketing idea for 7-11! I'm re-blogging this for those who DO like Slurpees. :)

Hmmm, makes me want a slurpee now and that's funny cuz I never wanted one before, lol

Posted by Elizabeth Arduain Lubbock Texas Real Estate (The Diamond Group @ Keller Williams) 11 months ago

Elizabeth,

That little word "free" is a powerful motivator. :)

Steve

Posted by Steve Hoffacker - Sales Trainer/Coach, Sales Books Author, Photographer (Hoffacker Associates LLC) 11 months ago

Steve, "cool" idea to promote 7-11 especially on a hot day like this!

Just my luck I read this blog at close to midnight.  No free slurpee for me I guess.  I'll have to wait another 100 years for this opportunity to come around again.

Monday was a long day, so I missed out on my free brain freeze!

Doug,

Only 364 days. :)

Rob,

It turns out they were just small sample-size cups anyway. :)
