FoodKick Announces Delicious Partnership With New Stand
Retailers collaborate to bring consumers the best in fresh
NEW YORK, May 23, 2017 /PRNewswire/ -- FoodKick by FreshDirect, the on-demand business that puts fresh at consumers' fingertips with a curated selection of fresh food, alcohol, and essentials, announced today an integrated brand partnership with New Stand, a media platform and chain of boutique convenience stores reimagining what the modern day "newsstand" should be.
The 12-week partnership kicks off today with the launch of Tasty Tuesdays, a weekly in-store giveaway where New Stand customers can explore FoodKick products curated specifically for them. Each week, New Stand will feature a unique product from FoodKick with samplings including Monfefo, Sfoglini, and RISE Brewing Co. products. Customers will be notified about the giveaways every Tuesday via native in-app programming and push notifications. Limited quantities will be distributed at the Union Square, Columbus Circle, and Brookfield Place New Stand stores on a first-come-first-serve basis.
This partnership is bolstered by out-of-home advertising channels, including a FoodKick takeover wrap of the Union Square New Stand doors and a series of video advertisements on the newly launched NYC Ferry service. Additionally, starting next week New Stand will release bi-weekly "Dinner and a Playlist" content featuring a selection of songs to make the most of any FoodKick moment.
"As retailers who both intrinsically understand New York City culture – the partnership with New Stand just made sense. Not only does this execution create new opportunities for FoodKick to reach savvy omni-channel consumers, it also allows New Stand to give back to their loyal customer base," said PJ Oleksak, Senior Vice President, Business Expansion of FreshDirect. "We are thrilled to partner with another industry disruptor to bring curated food experiences to commuters throughout the summer both online and off the subway line."
"FoodKick is the perfect partner for us — they share our values, combining technology with a human touch and putting customer appreciation first. Using New Stand to launch Tasty Tuesdays events and bring exclusive products and deals to consumers was exactly what we had in mind when we set out to reimagine convenience retail. We're thrilled that FoodKick chose us to be part of this endeavor," said Andrew Deitchman, co-founder and CEO of New Stand.
