Piston

The Piston Events Team is coming to Akron, NY! We'll be serving lunches outside to essential employees from the Akron, NY area at the Akron Elementary School Parking Lot (47 Bloomingdale Ave, Akron, NY 14001) tomorrow May 27th from 11-1pm. With help from some of WNY's most popular food brands and our friends at Sahlen's Hot Dogs, Intense Milk, Perry's Ice Cream and Utz Snacks we want to say thank you to all the essential employees that served their community throughout the pandemic. We're seeking teachers, local healthcare workers, law enforcement officers, local business owners, food and beverage employees, farmers, and any other essential workers. **Please note, we are asking any participants to not congregate and eat their lunches onsite for campus safety reasons. We hope to see you!

Piston will be putting together an extensive Fall 2021 events schedule with our client Sahlen's Hot Dogs in the Charlotte, NC area geared around tailgating experiences near Bank of America Stadium on Panthers home game days. We are looking to join with a talented Team Leader in the area over the next month (May/June 2021) to begin planning and staffing for a September - December events tour with 10-15 events. We look forward to meeting potential Team Members in the area that... have experience leading teams, and putting together exciting activations. Please send resume and head shots to the below contact.

Spring is around the corner and you can’t miss these @sahlens hot dog displays at Walmart’s throughout NY! Another example of how we maximize visibility and sales in the retail space. We were rewarded this highly valuable 6ft end cap feature based on merchandising rapport and retail reliability. Custom point of sale was installed and is noticeable from as far as the entrance! #sahlens #hotdog #grill #spring #cook #smokehouse #allbeef #porkandbeef #dogsdoneright #retail #merchandising #pointofsale #creative #strategicmarketing #installation

We never need an excuse to dip! New Bison Dip POS produced and installed throughout all our NY Walmart locations. These bunker locations are highly valued and maintained daily in order to secure location and sales. Dressing these locations up with POS (point of sale) increases consumer visibility and retention. #merchandising #retail #grocery #marketing #branding #pointofsale #local #support

This space didn’t always look this great. Piston is often awarded expanded modulars by the retailer as a result of strong relationships and proven merchandising methods. This allows us to continue strategically growing our clients brand(s). As a result at this store, Bison Chip Dip has tripled in facings and was moved to a prized shopping eye-level as well as featured bunkers (not shown). Each brand and retailer is different and requires a custom merchandising approach.... Piston handles each relationship, brand and customer with a personal approach. #merchandising #brand #relationships #retail #clients #marketing #wny #smallbusiness #bisonchipdip See more
