Essity, the Swedish health and hygiene group, is backing its new Cushelle Quilted toilet paper variant, launched in January, with an integrated below-the-line campaign aimed at helping drive awareness and trial of the new variant – which is claimed to be the brand’s “most cushiony-soft toilet tissue ever”.

Cushelle Quilted was introduced into retail stores in the UK and Republic of Ireland in January 2018. The new campaign, which spans the full shopper journey, aims to increase penetration by reinforcing the product superiority and ‘Quiltiness’ by asking shoppers to test just how ‘Quilty’ the paper is for themselves.

The activity, created for Essity by Manchester-based marketing agency Blue Chip, includes a money back guarantee being promoted across selected shopper media to drive trial at the point of purchase. Additionally, a door drop and Automated Teller Machine (ATM) couponing will deliver the same message and a further incentive to purchase out of store.

The door drop, featuring the Cushelle brand character Kenny the Koala, will hit 4 million doormats across the UK in March, a week after a new Cushelle Quilted TV advertisement hits screens.

Lauren Roberts, Account Manager at Blue Chip, says: “This promotional activity carefully considered how we would convert shoppers to the new Quilted product. The money back guarantee is a proven trial driver, removing the risk of purchase and making it the perfect choice for this NPD. Driving penetration was also a key objective. By adding a door drop with two £1.00 money off coupons, we aim to further incentivise shoppers to try this new product for themselves.”

The money back guarantee will be valid in retailers including Asda UK, Waitrose UK, Co-op UK, Ocado UK, Morrisons UK, Tesco ROI, Dunnes ROI and SuperValu ROI.

Essity was formerly part of SCA, the giant Swedish paper products group. Its brands include a number that were bought from Procter & Gamble in 2007, when SCA acquired P&G’s European paper operations, including Charmin. While Charmin is still sold by P&G under that brand name in the US, SCA rebranded Charmin as Zewa in Germany and Cushelle in the UK.

lights by Tena, the feminine hygiene product from SCA, has launched a new money back guarantee to raise awareness of the brand and its range of purpose-made products for light bladder weakness.

The promotion, the first ever money back guarantee run by Tena, was created by agency Blue Chip.

The activity supports the brand’s “Feel Fresh” claim, which SCA says is delivered via its Feel Fresh Technology.

Shoppers who pick up one of the 2.2 million promotional packs and who do not ‘Feel Fresh’ after using the product will be offered it free of charge via a refund process. The promotion runs until June 30th 2017; shoppers who want to take advantage of the money-back guarantee have to send SCA their full name and address, bank details, email address, the original itemised till receipt, the barcode from the original promotional packaging and a statement of at least 15 words saying why they did not Feel Fresh. Refunds, to a maximum of £3.59/€5.49, will be sent by bank transfer.

Rachael Sumner, Brand Manager for lights by Tena, says: “The ‘Feel Fresh or it’s Free’ promotion has been launched with the knowledge that up to half of UK women have used unsuitable sanitary protection for light bladder weakness, often because they aren’t aware of the benefits of using purpose-made protection. Our promotion will offer shoppers a risk-free way to pick up a pack of lights by Tena. In removing barriers to purchase, we are confident that women will love the confidence and security that only lights by Tena can provide.”

In 2016, Tena ran an on pack promotion offering consumers the chance to ‘treat’ themselves during the summer. The ‘TENA treats’ promotion gave shoppers the chance to win one of over a million prizes by purchasing one of the 3.2 million special packs. Prizes ranged from iPad mini 4s to Fitbits and money off coupons, with each pack offering a one in three chance of winning a treat. Tena Treats was a deliberately high-profile campaign aimed at helping to normalise the bladder weakness category for the 47% of women who experience the issue.

Fairtrade green tea brand Clipper Teas is running a ‘New Year Revolutions’ integrated campaign with outdoor and transport advertising and a ‘money back’ promotion to encourage consumers to ‘turn over a new leaf’ in 2016.

Clipper Teas, owned by Wessanen UK, wants to attract both new green tea ‘considerers’ and existing green tea drinkers to the brand.

The two-pronged campaign will feature a heavyweight outdoor and transport campaign together with a playful online video shot using hidden cameras inside ClipperTeas’ very own ‘Truthful Green Tea Shop’.

Throughout January, consumers will be able to trial Clipper’s range of green tea packs with the reassurance of a ‘tastes great or your money bank’ promotional guarantee. The brand’s extensive promotional activity aims to ensure that new green tea drinkers become Clipper Teas drinkers this January.

The outdoor campaign will reach 90% of adults across London and the South East during January. The YouTube video, which light-heartedly questions some of the processes and ethics behind other green teas, will be shared extensively via bloggers and social media. Clipper Teas expects over 1 million people to watch the video during 2016.

The planned activity aims to attract new green tea ‘considerers’ as well as existing green tea drinkers to the Clipper Teas brand, capitalising on the annual sales uplift that is typically seen within the green tea market in the first month of the year.

Green tea has long been ClipperTeas heartland. 2015 saw the company add another 100,000 new green tea consumers and grow its total green tea penetration by 15%, according to Kantar Worldpanel figures.

“The green tea market has seen considerable growth over the past three years as healthy living continues to rise up the consumer agenda. But consumer concern over bitter-tasting green tea still remains,” said Rebecca Vercoe, Clipper Teas brand controller at Wessanen UK. “We’re looking to address this by introducing an even wider audience to the distinctively light and fresh, Clipper green tea taste profile.”

A recent Clipper Teas research study found that the single biggest barrier to green tea adoption was the perception that consumers were not going to like the taste. The company’s acquisition campaign looks to challenge this with a range of creative activations focused on taste.

Vercoe explains: “We believe that the more natural the tea, the more natural the taste. Clipper uses only young leaves and works closely with experienced growing partners to delicately process these, with nothing artificial added along the way. This means light, delicate and refreshing tea, with no bitter after-taste. The last thing we want is for new green tea drinkers to buy a green tea and then be put off forever, either because it doesn’t deliver on taste or it has a nasty after-taste due to poor processing, artificial flavourings or fortification.”

The new outdoor campaign has been created by Big Fish. The Truthful Green Tea Shop was conceived, produced and filmed by Exposure.
