The Perfect Pair: Shopper Marketing and Gift With Purchase Campaigns

Shopper marketing and promotional gift campaigns go together like mornings and coffee – one energizes the other. While shopper marketing aims to influence buyers right at the moment of decision-making, gift-with-purchase campaigns sweeten the deal, encouraging them to choose your brand over the sea of options. It’s the wink that turns a casual glance into a committed relationship with your product.

Crafting Your Gift-With-Purchase Love Potion

1. Identifying the Right Audience: Much like setting up a successful blind date, knowing your audience is key. Are they eco-conscious millennials or bargain-loving families? Tailor your promotion gift to match their preferences and watch the sparks fly.

2. Choosing the Right Gifts: The gift is the heart of your campaign. It should be something like a good first date: memorable, enjoyable, and leaving them wanting more. A study by the Promotional Products Association International (PPAI) suggests that 83% of consumers are more likely to do business with a brand after receiving a promotional product. So, choose wisely—no one wants a second date with a brand that gives out forgettable gifts.

3. Timing and Placement: Timing is everything. Launching your gift-with-purchase campaign during peak shopping seasons can turn a routine grocery run into an exciting event. And placing your offer at eye level is like putting your best photo on your dating profile—it just gets more attention.

Integrating Digital Flair

In today’s world, on-pack gift-with-purchase campaigns have limitations in terms of options and attractiveness. Utilise social media to tease your offers and employ QR codes for easy redemption. These not only add a layer of convenience but also makes your campaign feel like an exclusive club everyone wants to be part of.

Success Story: Gift With Purchase Campaigns That Won Hearts – COLGATE X QUBY MUGS

In a brilliant move to captivate young adults, Colgate launched an on-pack promotion offering a free Quby mug with every purchase of 3 Total Colgate toothpaste tubes in Singapore. Quby, known for its popularity among social media savvy young adults, was an ideal partner for Colgate’s target audience. The mugs, with their adorable designs and embossed icons, quickly turned from everyday items into coveted collectibles. Colgate’s strategic placement of eye-catching point-of-sale materials in trade channels, showcasing the actual mug design, instantly drew shopper attention. The campaign’s success was further turbocharged by engaging influencers and a digital marketing blitz, creating a viral sensation that saw one of their videos shared over 2000 times.

Result: The Quby mugs flew off the shelves within two months. Such was their popularity that even the display mugs found new homes. This campaign not only amplified Colgate’s brand presence but also proved the magnetic pull of a well-conceived gift with purchase campaign.
