• Home Depot was enthusiastic about marks and logos and the radio components.
• Start promoting earlier in the season rather than beginning in October.

Next steps

Success stories

• IMG hosted two sweepstakes promotions. One through school assets and another through Think Social, which
included three (3) additional Facebook promoted posts.
• Increased engagement on social media
• Increased sweepstakes entries dramatically

Learning & Adjustments
activation , Execution & Retailer Feedback

• Think one week Think Social campaign performed exponentially better than the original two week promotional
campaign. We should explore the opportunity to do an extended Think Social campaign in 2016.

• Cal was difficult to activate and did not produce as well as Arkansas and Michigan. Kingsford was unable to utilize
the branded steak image as not to offend Cal’s vegetarian and vegan fans.

• Meijer plans 6 months in advance and was unable to incorporate retail activation into 2015 strategy due to a
condensed time line. The 2016 season partnership will start earlier, enabling Meijer to be involved.

Next steps

• After the 2 year term the Clorox Company will explore replacing Cal with another school in a key Kingsford market.

LED branding in Stadium.

• The #FuturePadres contest could be better promoted during jersey distribution to target parents and ensure they
know how and where to enter.

• The Glad 2 Give program can be connected to the Future Padres program during distribution day.
• Work on connecting a retailer to the program in Spring of 2016.

“ Over the past three years, the Padres have been proud to grow our youth
baseball jersey program to benefit more than 50 leagues across four local
districts . . . This year, we are excited to partner with Clorox to power the
program. Together, we are able to impact thousands of Future Padres,
their coaches, and their families.
