ESTABLISHMENT PARTICIPATION

Are you a local food establishment that would like to participate in this event by providing a soup for our Soup Passport holders the week of January 22-29, 2023?

Below are the perks of being involved in this event and also our expectations of your establishment should you choose to participate.

Perks

  • There is no cost to participate in this event.
  • As a participant, you can choose a soup (or soups) of your choice to feature for the week and, of course, this soup (or soups) can be sold to your regular customers with no expectation of any donation back to STEP2.  The way we will earn money through this event is by our sales of Soup Passports and our sponsorships.
  • We are happy to share with you that we will be giving each participating establishment a grocery credit of $50 to Sierra Meat & Seafood.  You will receive this credit the first week of January, 2023.
  • This event (and your location as a participant) will be heavily marketed by STEP2, Reno Soup Week, Hungry in Reno and several other promotional partners.
  • Your logo will be included on digital & print materials (excluding soup mugs)
  • You will have the opportunity to include flyers, coupons, swag, etc. in the package that will be delivered to participants prior to the week (these must be received by December 30, 2022).

Expectations

  • As a participating establishment, we would ask that you honor the Soup Passport participants by giving them a complimentary cup of soup when they come in, show their passport and/or provide your soup coin for redemption.  As this is the first year, we don’t have a good idea of how many this will be at this time but would estimate around 100-250.  An updated number will be provided to you the first week of January and the week before the event.
  • Send a high-resolution logo to me as soon as you sign up to participate.
  • Provide the name(s), description(s) and photo(s) of your soup(s) to me by December 1, 2022 so that we can add this information to the website and promote via social media.
  • Donate a gift card or item worth at least $25 to the raffle.
  • Additionally, we would love for you to share information about this event at your establishment, on social media and, if applicable, via e-mail.  Marketing materials/graphics will be provided to you.
  • Keep all redeemed soup coins. A STEP2 staff member will collect these soup coins from your establishment the week after the event.
