Advertising 1st, Stove Top Stuffing Warms Up Chicago streets

I thought this was kinda cool and good idea for advertising. My only gripe is that these are all in downtown Chicago and not close to me.

Stove Top Campaign Takes the 'Bah-Humbug' Out of Holiday Shopping with Heated Bus Shelters and Delicious Stuffing Samples

GLENVIEW, Ill., Dec. 2 /PRNewswire-FirstCall/ -- In a national advertising first, Stove Top Stuffing is warming up Chicagoans this December by heating 10 bus shelters throughout the Windy City's high-traffic commuter and shopping areas to help busy consumers keep cozy throughout the hustle and bustle of the holiday season.

The month-long campaign represents the first time that heat has been used in bus shelter advertising, and is part of a larger integrated Stove Top campaign to warm up Chicagoans that also includes print ads in more than 50 bus shelters and street sampling of new Stove Top Quick Cups instant stuffing.

"Stove Top Stuffing is all about warming up families with hot, delicious meals when the temperatures drop, and we wanted a stand-out way to demonstrate this to consumers this holiday season," said Stove Top Brand Manager Ellen Thompson.

Warm Up Your Senses

Now through the end of the month, Chicago residents can enjoy a break from the cold under one of 10 bus shelter locations throughout Chicago, including:

-- 16 S. Clark Street (Clark Street & Madison Street)
-- 197 N. State Street (State Street & Lake Street)
-- 300 N. Michigan Avenue (Michigan Avenue & ****** Place)

Spreading the Warmth

To give on-the-go Chicagoans a taste of a home-cooked family favorite, Stove Top will hand out samples of its new Quick Cups instant stuffing at select heated bus shelters during the first three weeks of December, including Dec. 4-7, Dec. 12-14 and Dec. 19-21. Whether you're noshing on holiday leftovers or grabbing a quick lunch at the office, each two-serving Quick Cups provides a warm, flavorful addition to any meal. Just add hot water and heat for up to 60 seconds in the microwave.
