LANSING, Ill. — Land O'Frost, the nation's largest family owned packaged lunchmeat brand, is teaming up with Marvel Entertainment, LLC to celebrate the launch of its next summer blockbuster, Captain America, on July 22, 2011, by offering customers the chance at a thrilling Super-Fan Trip to attend a Marvel movie premiere in 2012.
Beginning June 27, 2011, specially marked packages of Land O'Frost Premium products will contain instant win cards. One special card will contain a Marvel package including special access to a Marvel World Movie Premiere in Los Angeles for four, including tickets to a 2012 Marvel Premiere, round-trip travel and three nights of hotel accommodations.
In addition to the grand prize trip, there will be 500 instant-win cards giving customers an action-packed Captain America video game and 100,000 packages will be filled with exclusive Captain America trading cards.
"We have such enthusiastic customers, that we consider them to be super fans of Land O'Frost," said Stephan Williams, vice president of marketing at Land O'Frost. "It is these super fans that have made us America's favorite one-pound deli pouch, so it's only fitting that we team up with Super Hero, Captain America, to reward them for their support. Giving them the opportunity to win a Super-Fan trip to see a Marvel movie in 2011 is just one more way for us to say thank you for buying our products."
A co-branded spot from Land O'Frost and Marvel will be aired throughout the promotional period, including select scenes from Captain America. Super fans can also visit www.landofrost.com to watch the thrilling Captain America trailer, try their hand at a Captain America Red Skull and Crossbones arcade game, read original Captain America comic book, First Vengeance, and download Captain America wallpaper for their computer.
This is the third year in a row that Land O'Frost is partnering with Marvel, and just like Marvel movies, each promotion is just as successful as the last. Last year Land O'Frost ran a similarly fantastic instant-win promotion in coordination with the launch of Marvel's hit sequel, Iron Man 2.
Land O'Frost is honored to be a part of Marvel's continued success in the creation of award-winning Super Hero films. With the anticipation of a new movie launch in 2012, Land O'Frost believes this prize will rival its past customer rewards programs.
In addition to its Super Hero theme, Land O'Frost enjoys regularly rewarding its customers through promotional giveaways and contests. Earlier this year, Land O'Frost gave away more than $50,000 in Ticketmaster gift cards through an on-package promotion. It also sent one lucky customer a VIP trip to the 2011 Football Hall of Fame Enshrinement Ceremony.
