Free Jones Soda

Today was a cool day, part of our publicity strategy for the church was to purchase about 500 bottles of Jones Soda with our church logo and info about our public gathering and website on them. Jones Soda allows you to personalize bottles if you buy more than a case of them. 

Jones Soda is a trendy Seattle based company that probably appeals to the 25 and under crowd. However, their soda is delicious!

Anyway, we took our 500 bottles of Jones Soda today and went over to Montana State Billings and Rocky Mount College for a free give away. It was pretty cool. Our flavor choices were Green Apple, FuFu Berry, Berry Lemonade and Sugar Free Black Cherry. Our strategy was simple, give it all away.

So on a nice 80 degree day Jon and I headed over to the campuses and started giving away our soda. We were well received. The combination of the hot day and the bright colors of our sodas coupled with the end of a long semester seemed to provide a small spark for people.

A few people asked why we would do such a thing which allowed us to direct them to the info on the bottles. Believe it or not a couple of different people had actually heard of us. 

I have no idea if this publicity will help, but if nothing else for this one day we were able to make a couple of college campuses a little bit brighter. Unfortunately there was non left for me and Jon so we stopped and got a Gatorade on the way home.
