Regal Activates Easter Egg Hunt to Drive App Downloads
 
Regal is employing gamification to get consumers engaged. The brand “is hosting an augmented reality Easter egg hunt that moviegoers can activate by scanning movie posters with the theater’s mobile app. Players can win prizes like free popcorn, bonus Regal Crown Club credits, and 25 percent off a credit order in the Regal Reward Center.”
 
Champion Gets Its Groove Back
 
The apparel company has regained popularity among young consumers. “Susan Hennike, president of Champion’s North America division, has been tasked with reaching that goal. She credits Champion’s popularity surge to increased investment in social media channels, updated designs (including more fashion-forward items like cut-off sweatshirts), new brick-and-mortar locations, and collaborations with other established brands.” Instagram influencers, including Chance the Rapper and the Kardashians, are partially responsible for this surge in appeal.

Under the deal, Walmart.com shoppers will be able to purchase up to six different boxes a year, with the items curated by KidBox. They can order a box and schedule delivery on demand or sign-up for automatic shipments of the boxes, which are timed to seasons, back-to-school, and holiday.”
