It is always interesting to see how major brands have deeply thought about, designed and structured their social media promotions.

In this particular example, users are able to engage by doing something very simple, taking a photo of the item to be promoted, and sharing it in their social media stream.

By making part of the contest requirements, the inclusion of the brands Twitter handle along with an identifiable hashtag, the brand benefits from both the promotion of the item, their brand and the promotion.

The hashtag is also very unique in that it suggests a course of action (tweet and eat) and in a fairly straightforward way, identifies the value of the $1000 (1k) prize offered.

In the end, in order to be effective, a social media campaign has to be fairly straightforward and simple. This is a good example of a brand putting in place a clear social media campaign.

Battle Tested

In fact, this is the same bandage that is included in the U.S. Military’s IFAK, or individual first aid kit. This is the large, six-inch bandage, and can be used one-handed for self-treatment or can be applied by a care giver or first responder to help staunch blood flow and stabilize the patient for evacuation or treatment. It can be used on the head, leg, arm, torso, or elsewhere on the body.

4″ or 6″ sea;ed packages easily fit in cargo pocket, purse or glove box

Direct Pressure

Although primarily designed to help staunch blood flow by applying pressure to the wound site, the 70-inch long elastic portion of the bandage can also be used in the field to construct a sling, to bind a strain or sprain, to secure splints to the broken limb, or even as an improvised tourniquet. The IBD is self contained. It does not require clips, Velcro or pins to use and there are no loose parts that can get lost or misplaced in an emergency.

Simple Packaging

This bandage is vacuum packaged in a compact, sterilized package with instructions for use on the back. The package is small enough to carry in your BDU pocket or a MOLLE pouch. A highly recommended piece of safety gear for those going into harms way.
