LM24 New merchandising opportunities

claude2cv · 18 Apr 2020, 17:58 (Ref:3971563)

To while away some of the extra time we have on our hands, what do people see a possible merchandising changes to go with the change of date for the race.

I will start with 24 hour branded thermal underwear.

With deposit paid reusable Thermos flasks instead of beer mugs!

GT6 · 18 Apr 2020, 19:36 (Ref:3971579)

I think reusable coffee cups with race cars on them for sure, hoping people will start collecting them rather than get the deposit back. They will sell well if it is cold but if the weather is warm they make be hard to shift

GT6 · 18 Apr 2020, 19:42 (Ref:3971581)

Also termal blankets might be big sellers with car themed insignia to wrap yourself in whilst watching the race

These have already been used in the ACO member outlets, I have a tall stack of them in a kitchen cupboard.

With a little too much time on my hands at the moment

, I did have a look at the historical weather data for the equivalent week in September. The average high and low temperatures for September are just one degree lower than June, and last year the weather hit 29 degrees on one of the days during race week. Sun hats, shorts and sun cream will be needed for sure!🌞

I have loads of the beer (both small and large) ones but can't remember coffee ones to be honest, Spent quite a while in the aco area's, when i got coffee's they were in the cardboard ones or disposable plastic ones at the other outlets but to be honest warm enough over the last few years that i did not often buy coffee's.

A free face mask with every programme might be a good idea...

GT6 · 19 Apr 2020, 09:51 (Ref:3971659)

Plus a leaflet telling you about social distancing, staying 2 metres away from other race fans and that tents should only house one person unless close family members.

It's gonna be lovely.....

All we have to do now is get there......

GT6 · 19 Apr 2020, 12:39 (Ref:3971676)

Getting there is not a problem, having something there is the problem, but fingers are crossed

Not for all

. Danish-German boarder is currently closed, making it a long trip through Sweden or Norway inorder to get to France.

GT6 · 19 Apr 2020, 12:45 (Ref:3971678)

getting back to the reason for this topic, how about free 24 hour hand sanitisers,

I'll buy a beanie, I'm pretty sure we will need one. That is, if I can make it.

Well that little old buggy of yours will need a decent run out later in the year

2016 reusable Le Mans coffee cup in T17/18 bar/restaurant. There have been several different versions, but not sure over how many years, or if they're still using them even...I think maybe not.

Our small collection with three coffee mugs at the front. I know they also did black ones one year but I can't remember if they had any design on them? Probably not as I never kept one....

GT6 · 20 Apr 2020, 17:38 (Ref:3971883)

They were coffee cups? i have plenty of the small ones and got them from usual beer stalls when you ordered a small beer or wine, not sure they are heat resistant? and suitable for holding if they were full of hot stuff

I actually thought them as childrens cups as well

claude2cv · 21 Apr 2020, 18:48 (Ref:3972098)

The smaller ones have been common in France for some time. We have several from French 2CV meetings, usually marked with levels for coffee, wine and beer

whitemr2 · 21 Apr 2020, 18:59 (Ref:3972100)

I would buy this if it's in the shape of for example the 24 logo.

Yeah, they're absolutely fine. We've had coffee in them many times. Just as thick and sturdy as the beer ones.

Trouble is, it has to be boiled after each use.
