If you keep up with YETI and it’s social media presence, you’ve probably noticed they are pretty skilled when it comes to one skill in particular. Storytelling. YETI has been able to successfully capture brand new consumer types over the years with the introduction of its drinkware. Although this is great for the company, YETI feared staying true to it’s original consumer base and image. That’s where the story telling comes into play. If you look on their website, YETI has created a wide collection of beautifully shot, short films to connect to keep that outdoorsy image that appealed to so many people. View them here.
Part of what makes these films so great is that their number one priority is just being able to tell a really good story about a really good person. Of course they include a few of their products in the films, but they make sure that the products do not take away from the main message. This is important because it really helps the audience develop an emotional connection to the brand which then turns into loyalty and referrals.
We always like to be in the know with the brands we represent so we thought this was an interesting topic. You can read more from this Forbes article. You can stop by and see us at any of our five locations. Our knowledgable staff is always friendly and happy to help. In the meantime, check out this YETI video that really caught our attention.
If you’ve been keeping up with our blog, you may have noticed we’ve been talking quite a bit about Traeger grills. However, they are not the only great grills we have. We didn’t mean to leave out all you Eggheads out there! This one is just for you.
Backstory
Big Green Egg is often referred to as the Ultimate Cooking Experience! But what makes them so awesome? First, note the dome shape. The closed dome is efficient in keeping the heat insulated thus providing your food with extra flavor and juiciness. Big Green Eggs use either wood or natural charcoal for fuel instead of metal charcoal or gas which is sustainable. The Big Green Egg has worked with their top engineers to incorporate new types of ceramics in order to create a stronger and more durable egg that also provides better heat insulation than any other cooker. It is no wonder the company has now expanded from just Atlanta to over forty countries across the world! They offer seven different sizes and hundreds of Big Green Egg accessories. Now that you know why Big Green Eggs are so great, you must be wondering where you can purchase your own.
Local Dealer vs.The Big Guys
You can purchase your very own Big Green Egg from either the Big Green Egg Headquarters in Atlanta or from any authorized dealer. That being said, it’s important to understand who qualifies as an authorized dealer, and why they are better. Authorized dealers must be approved and qualified. Big Green Egg does not authorize distribution of its products through discount club stores, shopping clubs, wholesale clubs or other discount chain stores, or through e-commerce sites. You may see them at your local Sam’s or Wal-Mart, but here’s why you are better off buying these products from an authorized dealer:
Authorized Dealers are “EGGsperts” who have been trained to assist consumers with superior product knowledge. They know how to properly assemble the product and provide tips on how to maintain your new cooker. They are trusted by the Big Green Egg brand.
Your local dealer provides unmatched customer service so we’ll be able to answer all of your questions. Whether it’s about warranty claims, product options, or auxiliary components, your local Big Green Egg dealer is happy to help you!
They also carry useful EGGcessories and warranty support on any Egg and accessories. Big discount stores or wholesale clubs may have their own warranty but it does not match the coverage that your local Big Green Egg dealer provides.
Howard Brother’s True Value store is a proud authorized and local Big Green Egg dealer! You can stop by any of our 3 hardware locations to purchase your Big Green Egg.
