Brian Bachrach, Senior Brand Manager for PEEPS®, commented, "The merging of the PEEPS® Chick with the Volkswagen Beetle has been a hit since its introduction in 2003. However, taking the PEEPSTER® on tour this year made its popularity expand dramatically. Having three PEEPSTERS on the road simultaneously will give us the opportunity to reach many more of our fans and partners."
Each PEEPSTER® will be traveling throughout the country as part of PEEPS® ongoing Magical Moments Tour™, sharing Random Acts of Sweetness™. When they are not touring, each PEEPSTER will make its home at one of the PEEPS & COMPANY® stores at Mall of America (Bloomington, Minnesota), National Harbor, MD or at the Just Born headquarters and its nearby store in Bethlehem, PA.
Bachrach continued, "During our ongoing 2012 tour, the PEEPS® team of brand ambassadors will continue to distribute delicious candy samples, coupons and pictures. They will visit high traffic locations as well as special events, schools and hospitals to help create excitement for our fans. We will also take the vehicles to industry events, trade shows, customer meetings and community events.
"Everyone recognizes the iconic PEEPS® Chick! The responses the car generates range from smiles and waves, to cheers and tweets. We've had fans follow us with horns honking until we pulled over for a photograph."
