MTN Dew Celebrates Outdoor Enthusiasts and Gamers with Two New Loyalty Programs
MTN DEW is rewarding soft drink fans by rolling out two year-long rewards programs offering customers the chance to embrace what they love with top-notch gear, fun perks, and special experiences. MTN DEW has fans covered — whether they are heading for the campsite or strapping in for a gaming marathon with friends.
Points can be collected when eligible MTN DEW packs and bottles are purchased, with thirsty campers and gamers choosing from popular flavors like Original, Zero Sugar, Code Red, and Voltage, plus others. Customers can take advantage of special perks by joining the MTN DEW Outdoor Gear Program and/or the MTN DEW Gaming Rewards Program.
“We know our outdoor fans are always on the lookout for their next adventure, so we wanted to reward them with some cool gear and experiences to continue to pursue their fearless passions,” said JP Bittencourt, Vice President of Marketing at MTN DEW.
Participants in the MTN DEW Outdoor Gear Program must enter the codes found on the specially marked packaging at DEWOutdoors.com, where they will earn points redeemable for gear. Those participating in the MTN DEW Gaming Rewards Program are directed to visit MTNDEWGaming.com to earn points redeemable in the brand’s marketplace and “Dew Game Vault” drops. MTN DEW has teamed up with brands ranging from BioLite to The North Face to Xbox and many more.
“The gaming community is a force to reckon with and we are so proud to be at the forefront, always finding new ways to fuel gamers with the tools they need to elevate their game play and build connections with their crew,” finished Bittencourt.

Market Force’s Footwear Research Reveals Brand Loyalty Matters
A recent study conducted by Market Force revealed that footwear shoppers prioritize the brand over other factors influencing purchase behavior, such as economic value or styling a particular look. At the top of the rankings for footwear, Market Force reported Journeys and Nordstrom as leaders in loyalty, with other brands falling far behind. Familiar specialized brands also appeared in the study, including Steve Maddon, Doc Martens, Finish Line, and others.
While often shoppers seek value in fashion, when it comes to footwear, brand loyalty matters most. With regard to price or value, these factors fall behind speedy checkout, ease of finding correct sizes, and the overall shopping experience. When in-store, the quality of the environment matters.
Takeaways from the study indicate that footwear brands desiring to earn stronger customer loyalty can do so by leveraging promotional campaigns to entice shoppers to give them a try. Brands might also consider reevaluating their position in the market and the customer experience, especially as it relates to in-store operations.
