Tis the season for branding
Dunkin' is no stranger to stunts. With a brand fueled by hyper-familiarity, they endearingly take a swig from the iron faucet of public opinion. A miniature novelty doomsday device, miniature tennis ball-shaped donuts known as tennis cans are part of the promotion. These come with 100% “Dunkin’" branding. Dunkin' is offering a promotion where they are giving away free mini tennis cans on August 30. Souped-up branding is everywhere these days, but Dunkin' has found the blueprint to convert novelty into a lucrative marketing strategy. Supervisors with a lapel-donut pin roam the building, and Dunkin' signature iced coffee has always served as a protest for anything too worked. In marketing circles, Dunkin' has long been a champion of throwing the whole weight of the company into the public arena. This is a unique way to end the sharp spike of 2023 with a cozy, comfortable treat. Everyone is guaranteed to want one.
The imagery
The coffee chain is all over the visual sense. The visuals showcase a Dunkin’ donut and a jar filled with mini tennis ball-shaped donuts. The Dunkin' logo crowns the show. The eye is drawn to the iced coffee and Dunkin' paper bag. There is a customer-centered war room decorated with Dunkin’ branded coffee cups and leisure clothing. A visual branding strategy is the cornerstone of Dunkin'. Ignoring marketing as a key production method, seniors and juniors look like that the brand should favor a different approach. In the end, few can argue with the results.
The interwebs
Often overlooked, the competition and the quest to claim and consolidate territories is a classic tragedy. It's not an elevated topic. Dunkin' is smart with its social media presence, and this post is no exception. Online extravaganzas have recently turned into unmanageable displays of showmanship and money. They are a handful of sites that make the most of the branding digital influencers command. Those lucky few who do a good job of managing their internet presence live in an entirely different world. Dunkin' knows whatever they do next, it'll be checked for authenticity. Dunkin' brand is one that lives for a big reveal and this is exactly the response they are hoping for.
