Comments: To launch three new products and to promote Colgate-Palmolive' sponsorship of Kmart's CART racing team, this display was placed in 1,940 Kmart stores and sold out of product in less than one week. It facilitated the distribution of a half million coupons in-store through the Colgate/CART "race track pack."
