Pepsi Contact Information....

Message sent.

I left out the details of how I'm a dedicated coca cola drinker and wouldn't drink a pepsi unless every other soda or water wasn't available. (too sweet and just leaves me more thirsty than nothing at all.)
 
E-mail sent. It's great to see a big name sponsor get involved. Hopefully this spirals into more sponsorship all around for the sport.
 
check out the list

Pepsi bottles dozens of things, including water I'm pretty sure. I'm not a Pepsi drinker myself but I'm sure there are some of their products I can support. Anybody going to the US Open might make a point of checking the list and having a bottle or two of a product where they are sitting. Back when Winston was a big NASCAR sponsor nonsmokers sometimes bought a pack simply to have in their pocket or laying around to be seen, just letting Winston know their message was being heard.

The team I worked with supplied us all a pack of cigarettes to have in our pockets at NASCAR events. Smokers bummed a few off of me so it wasn't a total waste toting them. Main thing is that Winston rep's passing through the pits saw Winstons everywhere. Even if they realized we were just helping promote the product the message wasn't lost on them. I didn't encourage people to smoke but if they were gonna smoke anyway, support the people that supported us.

+1 here.......

The company I work for is a provider for many public entities. The majority of our products had our company logo stenciled on the containers for our product. After a few months, the logo would fade, so the marketing team at corporate determined that etching our logo into the containers (as well as the color logo inside the etching) worked much better. Even if/when the color logo fades, the etched logo isn't going anywhere.
People see the logo, and that's the whole idea of promoting the products.

I'm gonna jump on Hu's back for a second and suggest that if anyone has either a Pepsi promotional product (a can warmer, a hat, a t-shirt), or even anything with the primary Pepsi colors (red, white, and blue) to wear it or carry it with you anywhere in the event area.

Bear in mind that Pepsi also makes/manufactures (among other products) :
- Mountain Dew
- Sierra Mist
- Amp
- SOBE
- Doritos
- Tostitos
- Lay's Chips
- Sun Chips
- Cheetos
- Tropicana
- Quaker Rice Cakes
- Quaker Granola Bars
- Gatorade
- Propel Fit Water
- Aquafina

I'm not suggesting that anyone completely change thier eating or drinking habits and preferences to the above or any Pepsi product, just to be more conscious about the products they choose. If you don't have a preference to Coke or Pepsi, then lean towards a Pepsi product.

Anyone affiliated with the Pepsi company walking through the venue will see $$$$ every time they see anything remotely resembling a Pepsi product.
And they will want to put more money into promoting billiards :cool:

Can you imagine a 'bottlecap' contest tie-in to the Mosconi Cup or any other venu :thumbup: ?
Now through November 23, collect bottlecaps from Pepsi products. Grand prize, an all expenses paid trip for four to the Mosconi Cup, to be held in Las Vegas, Nevada*. All you have to do is collect the nine bottlecaps, 1 through 9, to form the "nine-ball" rack, and YOU WIN !!!!!
*The same type of contest for a trip to Malta, depending on who has the cup that year.

The cost of an all expenses paid trip for four to Vegas or Malta would be a drop in the bucket compared to the sales a contest like that would generate.

This appears to be a unique, ground floor opportunity for billiards today. Let's do whatever we can to help obtain a nationwide sponsor make mainstream billiards bigger than it's ever been.

I thanked them yesterday when I saw the original thread. I have been a huge supporter of Pepsi for many years - too much so, to be honest. When I quit drinking soda for three months a few years ago, I was sure that they noticed it on their bottom line. :)

I have often said, perhaps even on here somewhere, that I thought Pepsi would be the perfect sponsor of our sport. Due, in large part, to my own addiction and also because serious players tend to not drink alcohol while playing but they spend a lot of time in that environment and need to drink something.

This is truly a fantastic step in the right direction! Hopefully we can keep them interested!
 
Done. Hopefully they will take note of the support their sponsorship is generating and continue to develop this relationship between pool and Pepsi.
 
This news is almost as pleasant as this mornings sunrise.....I guess the good guys ALWAYS win.


Also, I'd like to vote a few threads into Justnum's Club.
 
I don't drink Pepsi, or Coke any more I am a Dite Rite Drinker because the other use a BAD SWEETNER in their products. Use to work for Coke in the 60's, and honestly liked Royal Crown Cola BEST.
 
Brandon has a great idea..... Worthy of it's own thread.....

Pull the drop down to comment regarding a promotion and take the time to tell em thanks for sponsoring the US Open 9ball Championship!!

Great idea.

Here's what I wrote them:

As an avid pool player and member of a Pepsi drinking family, we want to thank you for your sponsorship
of the US Open 9 Ball pool tournament.

Our sport doesn't have many sponsors outside of the billiards industry, so when we get one it really
has a dramatic effect.

Right hand raised

I swear to request pepsi at every poolhall and cardroom I play in. I have even decided to enjoy the glass pepsi soda pops more than any drink. I will also buy a vintaged pepsi logo t-shirt to wear with my booty tight jeans next time I play pool....and a tank top for my pretty girlfriend to sport.

If God is to bless me with enough talent to make it pro and Pepsi sponsers me, I will tattoo "Pepsi" on my bridgehand. That is the extent of my faithfullyness. Muah!

I also included azbilliards in the thank you note. You guys are the best....most of you. The stinky ones can hop on the wagon too if you promise to shower.

Oh I know, all too often places have just pepsi products only and then I settle for their equivalent of sprite, 7up or whatever it is...It's ok enough to drink in a pinch. If you throw some oj and alohol in there they're all ok, but I don't drink anymore...
