RTD iced tea brand Lipton is kicking off the summer season with a competition. The brand is giving one lucky retailer the chance to win a branded store takeover including Lipton branded merchandise and decorations, as well as stock and POS materials. Tapping into Lipton’s popularity and driving awareness of the new 330ml can format, Lipton will help retailers to engage with their community during the busy summer period.
One winner, selected at random, will win a year’s supply of stock, free POS, decorations and Lipton merchandise for their store takeover. Not only this, but they will also receive their very own Lipton prize wheel which consumers can spin with every purchase of Lipton, giving them the opportunity to win prizes ranging from product through to merchandise.
With Lipton Iced Tea growing year on year, the brand is driving the ready-to-drink tea segment and is already outperforming the total soft drinks category. Retailers can cater to the demand for ready-to-drink tea with Lipton, offering shoppers a tasty alternative to traditional soft and carbonated drinks. Lipton offers a range of irresistible, refreshing, and tasty flavours that are low in calories and free from artificial colourants and preservatives. Available in Peach, Lemon and Raspberry, and Mango, Lipton Iced Tea also comes in a variety of formats. The brand even expanded its on-the-go offerings by launching a new single serve 330ml can earlier this year.
“At Britvic, we’re keen to support our retail partners,” said Ben Parker, retail commercial director at Britvic. “ With Lipton we can do just that, particularly during the summer months, which is a key moment for Iced Tea and Lipton’s range of flavours and formats. Following the launch of our 330ml can earlier this year, we’re able to expand the consumption occasions of Lipton even further.
“We know retailers sit at the heart of their communities and love to think of new ways to engage with their customers. The Summer Spin to Win competition does just that, giving one lucky retailer the chance to transform their store as well as the tools to interact with their customers on behalf of the Lipton brand.”
To enter the competition, retailers must log in or sign up for Britvic’s At Your Convenience platform and fill out the short form between 12 June 2024 09:00am and 28 June 2024 5:00pm.
To celebrate the Summer Spin to Win competition, Lipton will also be hosting an in-depot activation where retailers can get their hands on free Lipton product and spin the Lipton prize wheel. Join Lipton on Wednesday 12 June at Bestway Park Royal in London.

The popular range of UK's leading nutritionally enriched milk drink brand Nurishment will now be available in price-marked-packs (PMP) formats in the convenience channel.
Nurishment is a reliable source of protein and calcium, and is ideal for people who lead busy, active lifestyles and who are looking for a pick-me-up on-the-go.
Its four original flavours- vanilla, banana, strawberry and chocolate- will now be available at a low PMP of £1.39 at convenience stores across the country.
Dorota Dziedzic, Brand Manager at Grace Foods UK, said, "Nurishment milk drinks are a great source of protein and calcium and contain 13 vitamins and minerals.
"It is the perfect rejuvenation drink when you are feeling a bit low on energy, and we wanted to add even more value to Nurishment by introducing a PMP for March of £1.39 for our four original flavours.
"Our convenience store partners tell us how popular Nurishment is, so we wanted to give their customers a little spring in their step with this PMP boost for March."

Dairy alternatives brand Plenish is expanding its range with the launch of Plenish Enriched Oat M*lk – a fortified oat drink that delivers essential vitamins and minerals without compromising on ingredient transparency.
Available to independents from the end of this month (RRP £2.25), Plenish Enriched Oat M*lk is the UK’s only clean-label fortified dairy alternative with added calcium, vitamin D, B12, riboflavin, and iodine. It provides 30 per cent of daily calcium needs per 100ml – double that of other fortified plant-based drinks in the UK – while remaining free from oils and additives.
The launch responds to the growing demand for fortified nutrition in the dairy alternatives category (currently valued at £364 million), and highlights the role of added micronutrients in creating a nutritionally balanced plant-based alternative.
Each 250ml serving of Plenish Enriched Oat M*lk provides over 35 per cent of daily vitamin D needs – a key nutrient, when one in six UK adults fall below government recommendations. Vitamin D also enhances calcium absorption, supporting bone health and immunity.Plenish Enriched uses a base of just three ingredients (oats, water and salt) and is fortified with not only calcium, vitamins D, Riboflavin, and B12 and iodine, but also offers a source of fibre with no added sugar.
The launch of the new product is part of Plenish’s upgraded M*lks offering, which also includes the reformulation of the brand’s original Oat M*lk now with a new, creamy recipe.
“At Plenish, we’re committed to providing retailers with the plant-based options that today’s consumers demand, while also remaining dedicated to being transparent with our ingredients,” said Russell Goldman, Managing Director, Breakthrough Brands, at Carlsberg Britvic.
“Our reformulated Organic Oat M*lk continues to feature just three simple, natural ingredients, but now with a creamier texture, while Plenish Enriched caters to the growing demand for fortified nutrition, with ingredients chosen for their genuine benefits to consumers’ health.
“As consumers increasingly seek transparency and nutritious, minimally processed foods, we’re proud to help retailers meet these needs. By prioritising taste, quality, and nutritional value, we’re confident that Plenish will continue driving growth in the plant-based drinks category.”
Leading muesli brand Alpen has unveiled its brand new major consumer campaign with the launch of media creative, “Alpen, it’s The Grown Up Thing To Do”.
The campaign follows Alpen’s recent investment in both packaging and product – after launching new premium and modern brand identity in January 2025, coupled with a new recipe with 30 per cent more fruit – which is the number one driver of liking for Muesli lovers.
The £2m value investment across TV, VOD and Social Media is expected to engage shoppers further, delivering news of Alpen’s significant refresh to screens nationwide.
The campaign comes hot off the success of parent-brand Weetabix’s renewed category investments, which saw consistent growth for its core line of cereals, with Alpen committed to revitalising the muesli category with the same level of drive this year.
The campaign introduces Alpen’s new cereal mascot, Ralph, who, like Alpen’s core audience, recognises the importance of starting his day with a balanced and wholesome, yet delicious breakfast, as he’s matured. The creative combines feelings of nostalgia and warmth through a humorous lens. It concludes that choosing Muesli is the ‘grown up thing to do’, with Alpen offering a start to the day that balances health and taste, without compromise.
Developed in partnership with creative agency, Mother, the campaign will include both 30s and 10s ad spots across primetime television and major social networks, including: ITV’s new historical drama Ruth Ellis Story, as well as prime time favourites Gogglebox, 24 hours in A&E and MAFS Australia, with an expected reach of up to 20 million consumers nationally.
“We’re incredibly excited to be back on air, as the number one brand in the category, this is exactly where we need to be. We knew that our creative had to cut through to resonate with our target audience and we believe we’ve achieved that with Ralph,” Louise Vickers, head of brand at Alpen, said.
“There is such a significant opportunity in the Muesli category for growth and, as the biggest Muesli brand we are committed to turning the segment around. This investment is a major step forward for us in reconnecting with Cereal lovers across the nation who are looking for a breakfast that is nutritious but still delicious.
“Armed with new branding, new packaging and our most delicious recipe yet, we want to show shoppers that choosing a healthier, more complete breakfast option is far from boring!”
High in fibre, made with 100% natural ingredients, HFSS compliant and made with a delicious blend of wholegrains, Alpen is backed by a revitalised message of being a tasty, but healthy choice for breakfast. Brimful of toasted wheat flakes, creamy rolled oats, crunchy nuts and juicy raisins, the relaunch looks to bring muesli back to its peak in cereal aisles at a key time of year for healthier eating.
