Oyster Marketing

 

 
The Delaware Bay Oyster Restoration Task Force has used five-ounce bottles of garlic-pepper hot sauce to market its restoration project since 2006.  Trouble is, not everyone enjoys eating oysters.  That's why the Partnership for the Delaware Estuary, a member of this group, has partnered with Flying Fish Brewery of Cherry Hill, New Jersey, to add a one-sentence plug about the project to labels adorning each bottle of Exit 1 Bayshore Oyster Stout, every batch of which contains 100 Delaware Bay oysters -- shells and all.  While some people might not like eating oysters, it's possible they may like drinking them.  And if a bottle of beer is all it takes to turn skeptics into supporters, then the PDE says, "Cheers!"
