In time for the spring 2012 season, Jelly Belly Candy Company announces a picture-perfect store promotion for the classic Jelly Belly
jelly beans. Consumers who purchase two specially marked bags of
Jelly Belly jelly beans or Jelly Bean Chocolate Dips™ will receive five
free photo cards that can be redeemed online to create personalized
cards using their own photos or designs.
To redeem the special offer, consumers use codes that are printed inside
promotional packages of Jelly Belly beans to unlock the photo greeting
cards offer, an $11 value. With the unique codes, consumers can log on
at a popular online photo-sharing Web
site to customize and create their choice
of personalized cards.
The on-pack consumer promotion
launches Jan. 3 and runs through July,
covering major greeting card events,
including Valentine’s Day, Easter,
Mother’s Day, Father’s Day and graduations. In-store signage for bulk bins
and online advertising are planned to
support the Jelly Belly promotion with
consumers. In addition, samplings at
events across the country will provide
more coverage for the promotion. Jelly
Belly bean promotional packages will ship to stores Dec. 15, 2011,

display shippers is available to retailers by calling Jelly Belly Customer
