One of the UK’s largest van sales operations "Boosts" sales

BOOST's Jack Taylor (L) and Martin Rice of Green Field Marketing

Green Field Marketing Solutions have completed what is said to be “one of the UK’s biggest ever van sales operations”, driving distribution and increasing on-shelf space at convenience stores throughout GB for leading challenger brand, BOOST.

The operation involved a team of thirty, a fleet of 25 vans and a committed squad of professionals using the latest technology, explained Martin Rice, Operations Director, Green Field Marketing.


“Boost set us a big challenge with this sales blitz, but one we relished and were eager to deliver on. We used our state-of-the-art journey planning software to help drive efficiency and maximise call volume. This was supplemented by live data reporting and weekly updates, alongside a three-tiered quality control process, to help BOOST with internal stakeholder management.”

The van sales blitz focussed on three categories: BOOST Energy, Sport and Iced coffee.

“As one of the UK’s biggest ever van sales operations we knew from the outset that this was going to be a big undertaking for our team. We used our collective expertise, our on the ground knowledge of the convenience sector in England, Scotland and Wales, and our network of specialists, to create a plan that everyone was committed to.”

Green Field Marketing and its teams visited thousands of convenience stores over 12 weeks from July to September.

“BOOST set us a target of 22,000 convenience store visits with a focus on locations that have high population density and store concentration,” continued Martin. “It’s so gratifying to know that our efforts were not in vain. We visited 22,095 stores, selling over 52,500 cases whilst achieving a strike rate of over 61 per cent. We also audited the full BOOST drinks range during each visit to provide ongoing ROI outside of the product range on sale."

Adrian Hipkiss, Commercial Director, BOOST, said: “Green Field Marketing have been a trusted field sales partner for a number of years. We felt confident in their ability to deliver on this complex campaign and provide a springboard for the permanent field sales team going into the back end of 2024. Their dedication and drive to perform meant they overachieved on some lofty KPIs.”
