BRANDED SEATS® BREAKS OUT THE SECRET SAUCE AND LAUNCHES ITS NEW CUPHOLDER AT HEINZ FIELD

BRANDED SEATS® BREAKS OUT THE SECRET SAUCE AND LAUNCHES ITS NEW CUPHOLDER AT HEINZ FIELD

SAN DIEGO, California, October 2, 2019:​ ​ Heinz Field​ Fans can now enjoy the game experience without worrying about their beverages spilling right in front of them. ​Branded Seats®​ just completed replacing 60,000 cupholders at this iconic venue. Over the past 15 years at Heinz Field, fans have had challenges with cupholders that were too small, angled downward and had an open front that would allow beverages to spill. In addition, the cupholders were faded and had sponsorship stickers peeling off from power washing and weather elements over the years.

Branded Seats® was able to provide a solution just in time for the start of the 2019 season. This change out provided a new, refreshed look for Heinz Field while incorporating the following features:

  • Adjustable tilt to hold the cupholder / beverage more vertical

  • Larger size to hold souvenir cups (ie: Mason jar pictured)

  • Two branding opportunities: SnapGraphic insert + Heinz Field dimensional logo

  • Updatable SnapGraphic advertising insert without using UGLY STICKERS

According to Shad Bruce, Branded Seats® President, “This new cupholder provides an All-in-One solution and has been in development for the last three years. It fixes a variety of issues of the old units while improving the fan experience.”

Heinz Field used the PRIDE in Yourself, PRIDE in the GAME campaign on their cupholders throughout the stadium. This is an important message and the new Branded Seats® cupholders are the closest advertising space to the fans. Anytime during the season, this messaging can be interchanged or updated easily without the use of ugly stickers.

CUPHOLDER DISPLAY | HOW IT WORKS

Branded Seats™ patented invention has a tamper resistant snap lock that clips on to the existing cup holder. The retro-fit solution allows stadiums to choose between three new sponsorship/branding areas, which include a message at the top of the retrofit, an emblem that can be used for the team logo for website and molded in any color, or a main graphic panel that is fully update-able, and can be printed full-color on the reverse side of clear material. The retro-fit is applied without using stickers, and is currently developed to work with most stadium cup holders worldwide. Check out how our products and services can add value to your venue without the look of weathered, destroyed and unreadable stickers.

SEATBACK DISPLAY - NEWEST ADDITION TO OUR ADVERTISING LINE-UP

At Branded Seats™, we have been busy developing the newest addition to our all-star line-up of products. Branded Seats™ has created a new, patent pending  asset with the introduction of the SeatBack Display, which installs on the back of venue seats. The SeatBack Display utilizes the same weather resistant yet changeable full color snap graphic as our Cupholder Display to create a new branded environment at stadiums, arenas, and theaters for full seasons or jewel events.

The SeatBack Display offers the same great benefits as the Cupholder Display including:

  • Additional brand opportunities for partners
  • Increased sponsorship revenue
  • Receive revenue for “empty” seats
  • Operational messaging opportunity i.e. “Please use stairs in case of emergency.”
  • Creates a fresh NEW look for venue
  • Easily updated by staff

The SeatBack Display available with three customizable and tamper resistant emblems, and can be produced in any color to match your venue or team.

EXPERIENCE, EXPERTISE, AND PASSION – HOW IT ALL STARTED

After working with various stadiums over the past 14 years on sponsorship updates, Shad Bruce, owner of Branded Seats™, began to see a common problem in venues – the ugly sticker. The ugly sticker can be found on most venue cup holders and occurs when sponsorship stickers are not applied correctly by staff, vandalized by patrons, or simply worn out due to everyday wear and tear. Until recently, the only solution to the ugly sticker problem was to apply a new sticker over top of the old or replace the cup holder completely. Overtime, these solutions begin to look unprofessional for not only the venue, but also for the paying sponsor.

 With years of experience in branding solutions, expertise in product design, and a passion for making things better, Branded Seats™ began to look for a better solution to the ugly sticker problem. Our solution was to create a new advertising retro-fit for existing cup holders. The patented design of our product adds more sponsorship areas and provides a fresh look for venues. In addition, the advertising retro-fit is tamper resistant and easily updated which provides venues with an effective and cost-saving solution to the ugly sticker problem.

Branded Seats™will constantly strive to bring you innovative designs, state of the art manufacturing and value-added, out of the box ideas to help with your next sponsorship solution.  We strongly value our continued partnerships with architects, seating companies and various venues, allowing us to continue to develop our product offerings, as well as other elements within the venue sponsorship.

BETTER THAN A STICKER!

Cupholder advertising using a sticker

One of the most common questions we receive regarding our product is, "How is it better than a sticker?” Although Branded Seats™offers many of the same benefits as traditional stickers, it also improves cup holder advertising by updating the look of branding, is an easier update process and creates more sponsorship options for venues to incorporate into marketing packages. Its our patented design that makes our product stand out from the rest. Branded Seats™ began from our own experience updating stickers in a local venue and evolved through the development of solutions to the common problems we saw.

Have you ever see the ugly sticker in your venue? It may be the sticker applied slightly crooked, tearing or peeling away from the cup holder, or maybe its the sticker that has not survived numerous power washing’s and the outdoor elements. Whatever your case may be, how do you think your sponsor would react to the way they are displayed to fans? Branded Seats™ solves the ugly sticker problem by giving venues a new solution. Our patented advertising retrofit snaps into existing cup holders. Instead of a sticker, the retrofit uses the same snap-lock technology for the graphic panel displaying the sponsor. Our inserts are designed to tamper resistant and withstand the elements better than a sticker.

Another difference between stickers and Branded Seats™ is the update process. Because Branded Seats™ sponsorship panels snap into a specific place the need to worry crooked sticker application is gone. The one step process of sponsorship panels is just as easy and convenient as sticker updates, and the end result looks better. Branded Seats™ sponsorship inserts can also be easily removed without causing damage to the insert; making panels reusable as needed. The easy update process solves application problems and ensures quality in application.

So how does this increase sponsorship options for the venue? Cup holders have proven to be highly beneficial for sponsors in the past because of their high visibility and exposure, as well as their researched success in engaging fans. With Branded Seats™ venues and sponsors can develop campaigns to engage fans through special promotions and offers. Ever wanted to create a promotion around social media on cup holders that can change every game? Now you can do it easily with Branded Seats™. In addition, our product adds three new areas for branding and sponsorship not available with a sticker giving sponsors new areas to shine.

STADIUMS CAN SAY GOODBYE TO “UGLY STICKERS” WITH ANNOUNCEMENT OF BRANDED SEATS™

This patented invention solves the problem with cup holder sponsorships at stadiums.

Phoenix, Ariz., July 15, 2011 – Stadiums around the country can now breathe a sigh of relief. Shad Bruce, owner of Detail Design and Fabrication, (DD&F), a creative studio in Phoenix has just announced a new retro-fit solution to the messy stickers used for brand sponsorship and recognition on the cup holders at stadiums across the country. Branded Seats ™ is a patented new invention that clips on to the existing cup holder in a tamper resistant manner. The retro-fit solution combines three new sponsorship and branding areas and does not use stickers.

Working with stadiums across the country, Bruce knows firsthand what it takes to change out a sponsorship. “After numerous rounds of updates to cup holders, we realized this was a problem at stadiums worldwide,” said Bruce. Stickers are not easy-to-update, they are hard to remove, they get weathered and unreadable from sun, destroyed by cleaning products and are eventually vandalized and picked off.

“The only solution to date, was to apply a new sticker on top of the old sticker. Through this process, stickers get applied crooked, or they are only partially visible because of the position and angle of the seats. Overtime, this begins to look unprofessional for not only the venue, but for the paying sponsor,” stated Bruce.

As a product designer, Bruce resolved to find an easy-to-update solution for sponsorship changes. After many years, Bruce was been awarded several US patents for Branded Seats ™, utilizing this unique technology.

Branded Seats™ benefits venues by increasing brand awareness and sponsorship revenue. The new retro-fit is less expensive than replacing the entire cup holder with a new one and installs in just seconds, which is the only other solution at this point. Stadiums can choose from three new branding areas which include a message at the top of the retrofit, an emblem that can be used for the team logo for website and molded in any color, or a main graphic panel that is fully updateable, and can be printed full-color on the reverse side of clear material with a tamper resistant snap lock into the main body of the cup holder.

“Our team at Branded Seats™ is very savvy when it comes to finding solutions to problems, says Bruce, who also owns DD&F. Clients love that they can bring us problems that they find impossible to fix, and within days, our design team presents them with a few options to solve the issue. It is always a win-win situation for everyone.”

The new sponsorship panel is competitively priced with a normal sticker change out, and provides a fresh look for the stadium by covering up the old cup holder and sticker. They can also be easily updated by any staff member. This new advertising method is currently developed to work with most stadium cup holders worldwide.
