Parfetts launches new 'Big Ticket' promotional campaign

Parfetts launches new 'Big Ticket' promotional campaign

Parfetts has launched the Big Ticket, a new promotional initiative that offers suppliers an extensive three-week brand activation across depot, digital and retail channels.

The activation is a brand takeover that offers enhanced front-of-depot placement, complete depot takeover, checkout screens and in-depot large-format print and reception window vinyls. Online, a full order capture system takeover across desktop and app formats, and digital campaigns, including WhatsApp, push notification, email and social campaigns, are conducted across three weeks.


The promotion continues in-store with customer retail communications, consumer leaflets, full retail store POS kits and RDA support to encourage increased sales, merchandising and ranging across the symbol network.

Commenting on the initiative, Gurms Athwal, trading director at Parfetts, said, “Parfetts prides itself on the relationships it builds with suppliers and customers plus the quality of the activations we deliver for them across all our channels. We bring all our knowledge and insight to campaigns and generate industry-leading results. This expertise underpins our new Big Ticket 360-degree activation.

“The results of the first Big Ticket 360 campaign with Carlsberg have been outstanding. The campaign significantly increased the visibility of the 1664 Biere brand, with over 150 pallets on display across all the depots, and impressive sales for the new Blanc brand, more than doubling distribution levels.”

The wider brand portfolio saw the same success with the activity delivering Carlsberg increased sales, engagement, and volume for a premium brand in a competitive market.

The activation boosted sales and margins for Parfetts' customers, with the added incentive of winning a wide selection of prizes and a number of star prizes of £1,664 through the campaign.

Parfetts is now running a Pepsico Walkers and Britvic joint Big Ticket 360 activation. Brands looking to grow their presence in independent retail and have a full 360 brand activation are encouraged to contact their Parfetts trading contact.

Athwal concluded, “Partner with Parfetts to create a bespoke package that will drive engagement, distribution and sales for your brand with unparalleled support in building engagement with an ever-growing network of Go Local retailers. Always keeping the end consumer at the forefront of our thinking.
