The pattern

This still is filed under Utility premium.

Define

The free thing is kept because it works (a calendar, a tool, a template) and the brand rides along.

Mechanism

Usefulness as media. Frequency of use is frequency of exposure. Distinct from a keepable card: here the object has a job.

Verdict

We can give something people will actually use next week.

Why it works

By providing entertainment and a reference guide for fortune telling, the booklet ensures it is kept and shared, exposing the reader to multiple advertisements for Beecham-Veno products contained within.

Steal this when

You want to create an entertaining promotional item that people will hold onto and show to friends, thereby increasing ad impressions.
