JTI celebrates launch of new trade platform JTI 360 with huge giveaway

JTI (Japan Tobacco International) UK has today announced the launch of a new and improved independent retailer platform, JTI 360, replacing the company’s JTI Advance website.

The new platform, developed with the help of real retailers, offers a number of updated features and functions including an up-to-date news feed which keeps retailers abreast of the latest trends and developments. The site also promises the latest pricelists at the click of a button, as well as a brand new "360 Arcade" enabling retailers to earn "points" which can be redeemed for prizes within the site.


To celebrate its launch, JTI is giving retailers the chance to win one of 360 incredible prizes, including three top prizes of holiday vouchers worth £3500 (includes £500 spending money). With a total of £35,000 in prizes up for grabs, retailers could also walk away with one of two £1,000 Currys vouchers or one of 200 £50 Amazon vouchers.

To enter the prize draws*, retailers must simply sign up for the new platform before 10 June. In order to sign up for JTI 360, retailers will be visited by their designated Business Advisor (BA) who will distribute a personal invitation. To ensure invitation and entry to the prize draw, retailers should contact their BA as soon as possible.

Designed specifically for the independent trade, retailers can earn points for their continued engagement with the site, as well as by taking part in games and regular competitions. These points will be redeemable against a variety of prizes including vouchers, tech products, experiences or entries into additional competitions for larger rewards.

“We’ve worked closely with retailers to understand how we can develop and enhance our digital offering," said Mark McGuinness, Marketing Director, JTI UK. "After a series of focus groups and one-on-one conversations with our retail partners, we’ve been able to evolve JTI Advance and deliver a fantastic new JTI 360 website, designed specifically for the independent trade.

“We really value our retailer partners and the relationships we have with them. Retailers are out there selling our products, so it is our duty to provide them with the tools they need to be successful, and we’re pleased to give something back via the new rewards system for their continued efforts and support.”

Retailers can sign-up to JTI 360 today, to have a chance of winning one of 360 prizes, including holiday vouchers worth £3500.

*Max one entry and prize per retailer. All prizes are available to win within the first two months of launch – there will be future competition opportunities throughout 2024 and beyond. Click here for full T&Cs.

Swizzels limited-edition Valentine’s Day treat

Sweet maker Swizzels has unveiled a brand-new limited-edition product in time for Valentine’s Day, combining two of its most-loved brands into one treat: Squashies Love Hearts.

Offering a fresh twist on two popular classics, the new Squashies Love Hearts combine Squashies’ signature soft texture with the iconic and timeless messages of Love Hearts.

Squashies remain the No. 1 sugar confectionery brand in the market, while Love Hearts see consistent growth, with 950,000 units sold during the Valentine’s period and a 10 per cent year-on-year growth in brand value. Building on this success, Swizzels has combined the two household names to create a fast-moving and profitable addition to any retailer’s offering.

Available in 120g bags and sold in cases of 12, each foam sweet is embossed with a fun message or emoji, making them ideal for sharing with a loved one. Messages include "KISS", "WOW", "FAB", and "LOVE", alongside two cheerful and romantic emojis, adding a playful touch.

With an MRSP of £1.15, the new product retains the classic colours and flavours of traditional Love Hearts, including Pineapple, Lime, Blackcurrant, Lemon, Cherry, and Orange.

Swizzels’ Love Hearts range remains a Valentine’s Day favourite, led by the popular 39g Giant Love Hearts rolls, which outsell any other Valentine’s SKU with 621,000 units sold during the season.



Other fan-favourites from the range include Love Hearts Originals Hanging Bags, the 15g mini Love Hearts rolls and Giant Love Hearts multipacks.

“We’re excited to introduce a delicious and innovative new product that combines two of our most popular brands, delivering the same moreish flavours and signature texture - with an added twist," said trade marketing manager Clare Newton.
