Campaign Objective
In the crowded FMCG cooking aids category, Knorr set out to increase purchase conversion and basket value at retail, while reinforcing its strong association with chicken-based meals — a core consumption driver for the brand.
Rather than competing purely on price or short-term discounts, the objective was to deploy a Gift With Purchase mechanic that:
- Encouraged shoppers to trade up to a minimum spend
- Strengthened brand saliency at shelf and online
- Delivered a reward that felt relevant, intuitive, and worth collecting
What We Delivered - A GWP That Turns Product Equity Into Purchase Motivation
DTC World partnered with Knorr to develop a two-phase GWP merchandise strategy, anchored around the brand’s most recognisable cue: chicken.
Knorr Chicken Plates (Launched in August 2025)
Launched during Singapore’s SG60 National Day month, the Chicken Plate was developed as a practical, everyday dining item — elevated with a playful, chicken-shaped silhouette that directly reinforced Knorr’s chicken-led product equity.
Timed to coincide with a high-traffic retail period, the GWP helped Knorr capitalise on increased household spending and stock-up behaviour around National Day.
Knorr Chicken Seasoning Jars (Year-End Festive Promotion)
For the year-end festive period, the campaign shifted to a kitchen storage-led premium with the Chicken Seasoning Jar — positioned as both functional and collectible.
Product Design Highlights
- Custom-shaped merchandise for immediate shelf recognition
- Strong brand-product linkage simplifies shopper decision-making
- Collectible variants support multiple purchases per household
- Functional kitchen use extends campaign lifespan post-promotion
Why It Worked – Impact & Outcomes
The direct link between Knorr chicken products and the Chicken Plate / Chicken Seasoning Jar made the promotion easy to understand, easy to sell, and easy to execute — exactly what effective GWP mechanics require.
This GWP worked because the merchandise was designed to drive retail behaviour, not just brand visibility.
- A clear spend-to-reward mechanic pushed basket uplift
- Strong product relevance reinforced Knorr’s everyday cooking occasions
- One GWP concept executed seamlessly in-store and online
By translating Knorr’s core product truth into a tangible reward, the campaign delivered purchase motivation, repeat redemption, and scalable retail execution.
