I saw a commercial the other day for this summer's
"Share a Coke" promotion featuring people's names on bottles and
cans. The successful promotion, now in
its fourth year has been expanded to include some popular last names and larger
sizes, in the hopes of capturing the family vacation crowd. Interesting idea. (Lukovitz, 2017)
Meanwhile, this week Budweiser unveiled 11 different cans
and bottles with names of the states where they have breweries. It's part of their "Proudly Brewed
Across America" campaign, which is now in its second year. Country music star Thomas Rhett is featured
in the effort, as is user-generated content.

It will be interesting to see if creating limited editions will continue to
be a successful strategy for these brands. Since the custom names give people the opportunity to form tribes and bond with each other. I'm betting they will.
