Del Monte is dispensing ideas for parents this summer via a mobile application ‘Springpad’. This mobile marketing case study looks at how the food brand is partnering a popular independent app to boost its reach to mums on the move. As part of the campaign, Del Monte created a notebook called “Garden Fresh Entertaining,” which includes seven different food and drink recipes that incorporate the brand’s fruit and vegetable products for summer. Once users find a Del Monte recipe that they like, they can save it to one of their notebooks to access later. The notebooks can be made either public or private. The recipes include step-by-step directions and a toggle that lets consumers choose if they want to make a recipe or if they have already made an item. If consumers have already cooked a recipe, they can enter a review of the item and can rate the recipe on a scale of five stars.
