PVM lollipop brand Chupa Chups, with UK sales value of £13m, has a raft of sweet activity planned in the coming months.

After the runaway success of its debut TikTok campaign for Halloween last year, Chupa Chups has once again enlisted the help of influencers from the world of beauty, comedy, and fashion to create light-hearted tongue-in-cheek videos, this time to promote their "How to Open" campaign. This content will "educate" Chupa Chups fans on the easiest way to remove the sometimes tricksy wrappers.

To further amplify the brand, Chupa Chups has partnered with lastminute.com to offer a competition to win a £1,000 holiday voucher and Chupa Chups holiday merchandise, including beach towels, beach balls and a branded suitcase filled to the brim with Chupa Chups – the perfect on-the-go sweet treat for a long summer car journey or relaxing by the pool.

“In the past we have seen great results for Chupa Chups on TikTok - our last Halloween campaign performed frightfully well, with an impressive brand recall rate of 42.6 per cent against a benchmark of 13 per cent, so it made perfect sense to continue on this platform with another light-hearted and creative campaign that fits in with the fun personality of the brand," said Kate Howe, Brand Manager of Chupa Chups UK.

“This campaign and our partnership with lastminute.com will also promote the introduction of Chupa Chups’ new paper sticks, which will replace the majority of plastic sticks in the UK market by the end of the year. By replacing plastic lollipop sticks with paper sticks, we expect to eliminate around 5k metric tons of plastic per annum. This measure is the next step in Perfetti Van Melle’s Reduce, Recycle, Recover program, which aims to eliminate plastic in packaging wherever possible.”

Swizzels partners with Co-op Live for sweet experience

This November, visitors to the Co-op Live arena are in for a sweet surprise with the chance to immerse themselves in the world of Swizzels Squashies and to win treats and prizes at a Squashies experience zone.

As the official sweets supplier to Co-op Live, British sweet maker Swizzels will host the Squashies experience zone from November 15 to 30. Over the two-week period, a star-studded line-up of global music and comedy acts will headline the venue.

Visitors to the UK’s largest entertainment venue can gain exclusive access to the Squashies zone where fans are encouraged to squash up and snap a selfie on the first-ever Squashies sofa.

Featuring the signature pink and white colours of Swizzels’ Original Drumstick Squashies, the sofa is set to be a crowd-pleaser, inviting couples, friends, and family to cozy up and savour the moment together.

Fans can also get their hands on thousands of free Squashies and take part in a spin-the-wheel game to fun prizes. There will also be the chance to win tickets to see other global artists perform at Coop Live.

“Our partnership with Co-op Live has proved to be a real success so far, and Squashies have been a popular purchase across the venue," said Sarah-Louise Heslop, Head of Marketing at Swizzels. "Through this experiential event, we hope to sweeten music lovers’ visits to the arena, offering them the chance to sample Squashies, take part in some fun games, and snap and share some pictures on our brand-new Squashies-inspired sofa.”

Since forming a partnership with Co-op Live for its opening earlier this year, several different flavours of Squashies have been available to purchase at the venue, and Swizzels has also provided personalised rolls of its iconic Love Hearts to performers. Visitors to the premium area of the arena are also able to purchase Swizzels hampers containing a mix of fan favourites.
