Bestway launches Euros campaign across depots and online

Bestway Wholesale has launched a major Euros campaign across all its nationwide depots and online, giving customers the elevated and engaging theatre and visual appeal that Bestway has become famous for over the last three years.

The campaign has been designed to support and engage the retailer in their shopping journey as they enter the impressive football stadium entrance tunnel emerging onto the ‘world class’ football pitch, providing a powerful backdrop for the market leading deals throughout the Euros.


For retailers shopping in depot, they will be able to enjoy the atmosphere and join in the fun by showing off their own football skills as well as ‘scoring big’ on impressive deals and promotions from over 14 major supplier brands and their winning deals.

Bestway said the Cricket World Cup campaign last year saw an 87 per cent volume uplift across featured products and in 2022, the Football World Cup campaign saw a sales uplift of 24 per cent across the campaign.

In collaboration with key suppliers, the ‘From Pitch to Profits’ Euros campaign has been designed to create extraordinary theatre and immense visual appeal for its 100,000 customers on their Euros shopping journey. The campaign will run until the middle of July, with supplier deals and promotions being updated mid-way through the campaign. Additionally, prime space online has been allocated to participating suppliers.

For those retailers who prefer to shop online, there are Profit On Return (POR) checks on a number of key brands checking the possible profit on return deals. This has been designed as a play on the wording of VAR (Video Assistant Referee) system, a much talked about and fiercely debated technology used in all major footfall tournaments.

There are also some fabulous deals to be had including opportunities to win depot credit, event tickets and merchandise.

“We are really excited by this year’s Euros campaign and we’re continuously striving to bring unmissable deals to our retailers,” Kenton Burchell, Trading Director for Bestway Wholesale and retail, said.

“We have proven experience on delivering successful campaigns with sales uplifts of up to 87% on product lines featured in the campaign. We’ve tailored top deals for the biggest tournament of the year as a thank you to our customers and to help them optimise their margin and profit.

“We’ve devoted a significant sum to prizes and promotions to help retailers enjoy an even more profitable trading over this period and boost supplier visibility at the same time”.

The campaign is also supported by an above-line trade press media campaign and through the company’s digital platforms including a Bestway digital ‘takeover’ campaign for the POR checks – which plays a prominent role across its web site.

“We hope the campaign will encourage our retailers to make Bestway their number one choice of where to shop for their Euros products. By doing so, they will be rewarded – our whole aim is help them make more profit for their business and their customers in this summer of sports,” Burchell concluded.

Safer alternatives to cigarettes could save millions of lives and billions of pounds, says think tank

Promoting safer alternatives to cigarettes could save 19 million years of life by 2030 and reduce smoking-related costs to taxpayers by up to £12.6 billion annually, a new report from the Adam Smith Institute (ASI) has revealed.

The think tank argues that the UK government's current approach to achieving a Smoke Free 2030 - defined as reducing smoking rates to 5 per cent or lower - is both illiberal and unworkable and will significantly set back progress against smoking related harm. The ASI warns that policies such as a generational tobacco ban, a new tax on vapes, and restrictions on heated tobacco products and flavours will hinder harm reduction efforts.
