Campaign Objective
With the launch of its new Ngupi coffee sachet packs, ZUS Coffee faced a common challenge for beverage brands — how to create urgency, drive trial, and stand out in a crowded retail and e-commerce space. The marketing team needed a promotional gift that would not only boost sales across channels but also reinforce ZUS’s brand identity of style and convenience, all while delivering tangible value to customers.
What We Delivered
DTC World worked closely with ZUS Coffee to design a customised canvas tote bag that blended practicality with the brand’s modern, lifestyle-focused image. Made from durable fabric, the tote was designed to handle daily use while showcasing ZUS’s signature branding in a bold, eye-catching print.



This versatile gift was compact enough for easy distribution in-store and through e-commerce orders, yet spacious enough for everyday errands — making it a perfect fit for customers’ routines. By aligning the design with ZUS’s brand values of style and convenience, the canvas bag became more than just a giveaway — it became a functional brand touchpoint in consumers’ daily lives.
Why It Worked – Impact & Outcomes
The customised canvas tote bag ticked every box for an effective gift with purchase — stylish, functional, and brand-aligned. Its high utility made it a desirable freebie, creating a strong purchase trigger both online and in-store. The exclusive, time-limited offer encouraged quicker purchase decisions, while the bag’s reusable nature kept ZUS Coffee visible in customers’ daily lives long after the campaign ended.


For marketers, the impact was clear: increased sales velocity during the campaign period, stronger brand recall through repeated product use, and an uplift in customer engagement across retail and e-commerce channels. By pairing a premium-feel gift with a new product launch, ZUS maximised both immediate revenue and long-term brand presence.
