Baseball Vote Again

By Jean Luo

Wal-Mart is again hosting the vote for Major League Baseball's All-Star Game as the exclusive retail partner of sponsor PepsiCo.

Through June 17, Wal-Mart shoppers can cast ballots found on dedicated Action Alley pallet displays that carry Pepsi, Frito-Lay and Quaker products. Voters submit their ballots at the display or by mail.

Wal-Mart has conducted retail voting activity with PepsiCo since 2005. MLB, Pepsi and Frito-Lay also conduct balloting on their respective web sites. The All-Star Game will take place in San Francisco on July 10.

This PepsiCo/ Wal-Mart pallet is a really interesting way to promote Scale. It is not a promotion but there is a strong draw to baseball and people would be drawn to this pallet because on the MLB branding.
