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, September 12, 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.

THE BEFORE AND AFTER – TRANSFORM YOUR CUP HOLDER SPONSORSHIP

Cup holder sponsorships can be a valuable asset for both organizations and corporate sponsors. This seemingly small area has a surprising amount of advertising potential in a venue, and fans can’t help but notice. But if your cup holders have started to show the wear and tear of multiple sticker applications and use, the value of your sponsorship for the venue, sponsor, and fan may be diminishing.

Branded Seats™ has your solution. The patented design of our product adds more sponsorship areas and provides a fresh look for venues. The cup holder insert and sponsorship snap-graphic is tamper resistant and easily updated which provides venues with an effective cost-saving solution to the ugly sticker problem. The insert solution allows stadiums to choose between multiple sponsorship/branding areas. The main snap graphic panel that is fully update-able and can be printed full-color on the reverse side of clear material. The snap graphic is applied without using stickers, and the insert currently developed to work with most stadium cup holders. Check out the difference.

 

 

 

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.
