Introducing the ‘Loop Discovery Box’

“Curated by those who set the trends rather than follow them.”

The Loop company has started a new movement of engaging people with music. They have created a ‘Loop Discovery Box’ which includes many coupons and goodies inside for the consumer. To begin distribution of the ‘Loop Discovery Box,’ residents at 700 on Washington received a box on their doorstep, getting information on the latest trends in music and more.

What’s in the box

Inspired by the popular Birch box, The Loop packages items from Zipcar, Chipotle, Campus DJ, GoMacro, Vnyl and information on contests and music tapes of rising artists.

Zipcar:

Zipcar is a car service that many college students use when they need a ride somewhere. However, unlike services like Uber, the students are the ones driving themselves around, not a random stranger, and it is also affordable for those college kid budgets. The ‘Loop Discovery Box’ contains a coupon to use towards your next Zipcar purchase.

Here’s what The Loop had to say about Zipcar:

“Need a car? Reserve a Zipcar! We have partnered with Zipcar to bring self-service, on-demand car sharing to the area. To use Zipcars, simply register as a member, reserve a car online or on your phone, use your Zipcard to scan into the car, and drive away. When you’re done, return the car to the same location where you picked it up.

As a member you get:

  • Access to Zipcars 24/7.
  • Discounted hourly rates for students ages 18 and older. Rates start at just $7.50/hour or $69/day.
  • Gas, insurance and maintenance are included for free!
  • Join for only $15 a year.”

Chipotle

Basically every college student is familiar with the viral Vine video of the little boy saying “Oh my god, I love Chipotle!” Many college students also turn to Chipotle for a fast and healthier meal than the alternative fast food restaurants. Well, the ‘Loop Discovery Box’ includes a Chipotle card for a free burrito on your next visit.

Here is what The Loop has to say about Chipotle:

“We’ve always done things differently, both in and out of our restaurants. Check out how we’re changing the face of fast food, starting conversations, and directly supporting efforts to shift the future of farming and food. We hope you’ll join us as we continue to learn, evolve, and shape what comes next.

Day after day Chipotle is committed to sourcing the very best ingredients they can find and preparing them by hand.

To vegetables grown in healthy soil, and pork from pigs allowed to freely root and roam, Chipotle understands the connection between how food is raised and prepared, and how it tastes.”

Campus DJ

Campus DJ is a nationwide DJ competition for college students with passion and talent for music. Campus DJ tours around the country to different universities discovering new talent and determining the finalists for their final concert/competition. This tour is a great outlet for student DJs to be recognized, as well as a fun time for college students supporting their peers. The ‘Loop Discovery Box’ includes a Campus DJ tour schedule to get young people informed about their music events.

Here is what The Loop had to say about Campus DJ:

“CAMPUS DJ is the only nationwide search for the top college DJs and music producers in the nation. Past notable participants include: DJ Kurr (Florida State University), Flaxo (Columbia University), Bentley Montes x King Tutt (UCLA and Icon Collective), Halogen (Georgia State U), Sokko & Lyons (U of Oregon), and many more. Since founding in 2013, Campus DJ has awarded more than $300,000 in total gear and cash prizes to participating college DJs and fans at events.”

“With Campus DJ, we are looking to give top college music talent an opportunity to showcase and gain exposure and connections,” says co-founder Evan Shapiro.

The company’s founders previously produced a nationwide College Battle of the Bands competition for live musicians, bands and artists in college.”

GoMacro

The GoMacro macrobar is a new and healthy snack for people, like college students, who need to fuel up on energy. This bar is gluten-free and organic, which is perfect nutrition for college students, who have a long day of classes and homework ahead of them. The ‘Loop Discovery Box’ includes a GoMacro bar to try, as well as a coupon.

Here is what The Loop had to say about GoMacro:

“GoMacro MacroBars provide sustained energy for a balanced lifestyle! With just the right balance of carbs, plant-based protein and fats, MacroBars are the perfect way to fuel up naturally. All MacroBars are USDA Organic, Gluten-free Certified, non-GMO Project Verified, Vegan Certified, Kosher Certified, and soy-free!”

VYNL

VNYL is a unique and personal music service that creates a selection of music for each of their customers each month … on vinyl! The ‘Loop Discovery Box’ also includes a coupon for 20 percent off of recipient’s first month of VNYL membership.

Here is what The Loop had to say about VYNL:

“VNYL is a music discovery subscription that individually selects vinyl records for each member of the service. Members complete an online music profile and connect their music streaming accounts, and VNYL curators then hand-pick the best new vinyl for that member to arrive monthly.”
