This is the question the Slurpee BYO Cup Day campaign asked of Australian Slurpee fans, and the results were interesting, to say the least. Created by Leo Burnett Melbourne, the Slurpee BYO Cup Day campaign was launched by the company to battle [Coca-Cola's](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/cocacola-family) recently released [copycat product](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/cocacola-oreo-zero-sugar-slurpee). Because the cup is one thing Slurpee never changed about its brand, the company decided now was the time. For one day only, 7-Eleven customers were allowed to bring whatever they wanted to fill with Slurpees and all they had to pay was the price of a medium Slurpee. As you'll see from the video, nothing was off limits -- customers brought fish bowls, helmets, shoes, briefcases and even [KFC](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/undercover-cups) buckets! In the end, the Slurpee BYO Cup Day proved to be a great success. According to the case video, the company's sales increased by 270 percent and over 320,000 liters of Slurpee was sold. ## Trend Insights (Trend Hunter) - Score: 1.5/10 - Popularity: 10% | Activity: 28% | Freshness: 8% - Audience gender: 50% men, 50% women - Primary generations: Gen Z, Gen Alpha, Millennial - Top markets: Europe, Asia ## Categories [Trend Hunter](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends) > [Marketing](https://www.trendhunter.com/marketing) > [Interactive](https://www.trendhunter.com/interactive) ## Key Themes ### Key Themes Behind This Trend - **Personalized Product Experiences:** Allowing customers to bring their own containers for products creates a unique and personalized experience. - **Novelty Marketing Campaigns:** Creating campaigns centered around unconventional ideas and experiences can capture consumer attention and drive sales. - **Brand Differentiation Strategies:** Taking advantage of unique brand elements, such as Slurpee cups, can help companies stand out from competitors. ### Where This Applies - **Food and Beverage:** The food and beverage industry can explore opportunities to create customized and interactive experiences for customers through campaigns like BYO Cup Day. - **Marketing and Advertising:** The marketing and advertising industry can assist companies in developing innovative and attention-grabbing campaigns that drive sales and increase brand awareness. - **Retail:** Retailers can benefit from implementing creative strategies like BYO Cup Day to create buzz, attract customers, and boost sales. ## Related on Trend Hunter - [Freshly Rebranded Frozen Drinks](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/slurpee.md) - [Movie-Goer-Inspired Soda Campaigns](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/fresh-twist-on-soda.md) - [Cleverly-Disguised Fountain Cups](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/undercover-cups.md) - [Popcorn-Focused Cinema Campaigns](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/bring-your-own-buckets.md) - [Interactive Beverage-Focused Campaigns](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/drink-duel.md) - [Celebratory Summertime Slushie Promotions](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/brainfreeze-season.md) - [Youthful Convenience Store Campaigns](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/rollup-refuel.md) - [Juice-Branded Summer Campaigns](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/never-grow-up-campaign.md) - [Bizarre Soda Campaigns](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/try-more-weird.md)
