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.

Read the pattern

Why it works

By providing a book of 100 recipes that specifically call for Bovril (e.g., 'Sausages à la Bovril', 'Chestnut Purée à la Bovril'), the brand embeds itself into the household's daily culinary repertoire. The blank 'Mems.' column turns it into a functional workbook the cook will keep.

Steal this when

When you have an ingredient or tool that can be used in many different ways, and you want to educate the customer to consume more of it.
