I guess when you have tens of millions of people on the planet playing your game, you need to reinforce your brand through physical products. As one music promoter told me: "It's all about the merch" Well, I'm not sure when Electronic Arts did food products like ice cream, but I know that Disney has popsicles and ice cream products. But this is perhaps the first time a social game, has, in a very short amount of time, grown the brand outside of their own domain. I guess Mark Pincus and his team over at Zynga will start selling bobble head farm animals and selling seed packets with Farmville on it? Hey, maybe they can start a craze for kids to plant crops at their house? For those who want to tote Farmville around on their mobile phone, below is a link to download the Farmville Soundtrack as your ringtone. Right Click to save the Zynga Farmville Sountrack More on the topic, Zynga Gives Away Free FarmVille Cash With Purchases Of Real Life Vegetables. Apparently Zynga has partnered with Green Giant vegetables with Farmville stickers on them. In looking up their partnership deal, this website this tells you about how to get your Farmville Cash at participating Target retail stores. The next time I visit Target, I guess it will be the first time, I'll hear kids in the freezer section screaming to their parents, "Mommie, I want the Farmville vegetables." I guess Zynga knows how to wrap a corporate responsibility with making money.
