Yazoo brings back Merlin promotion

Yazoo brings back Merlin promotion

Leading flavoured milk brand Yazoo has brought back its popular partnership with entertainment company Merlin Group, helping retailers maximise on the go sales across the summer months.

Returning for the third year in a row, the HFSS-compliant Yazoo range is offering 2-4-1 tickets for some of UK’s most iconic adventure sites including Alton Towers and Thorpe Park.


Available until the park season ends in November 2022, the on-pack promotion runs across all Yazoo flavours and formats, including the limited-edition Choc Caramel and PMP’s.

“With the summer months approaching, we wanted to shake up the mundane so families can enjoy adventures and spend time together after a tricky couple of years. Our ongoing partnership with Merlin has played a key role in driving brand success in the past couple of years, and we are delighted to be continuing this successful collaboration in 2022,” Maren Fuhrich, Yazoo brand manager at FrieslandCampina, said.

“It was an easy decision for us to regroup with Merlin through the sheer success of Yazoo’s previous promotional bottles. With Yazoo’s PMP range representing 64 per cent of convenience sales, having the promotion on our price marked packs will help boost sales and ensures a positive price perception among consumers.”

Each Yazoo promotional bottle has a unique code that shoppers can use to redeem 2-4-1 tickets at Alton Towers or Thorpe Park.

Drink Trends 2025: Navigating economic challenges with innovation and flavour

2025 will do doubt be the year the drinks industry truly feels the repercussions of the global and UK economic climate, political turbulence at home and away, and the duty hikes threatened for such a long time coming into play. While inflation has seen a gradual reduction over the last 18 months, the increase in interest rates and the knock-on effect this has on household expenditure will continue to be a theme as we head into 2025. We may see some prosper, but for many, it will be a year of adaptation, change and resilience. However, as an industry, we innovate, shape tastes and trends, strive to deliver world class drinks to the on-trade and retailers, and find ways to drive pockets of growth.

2025 will not be easy, but it will be interesting and there are areas of growth shaping the industry during the year ahead.
