In the world of retail and consumer goods, that means one thing - opportunity. And not just any opportunity. It's the kind of seismic moment that can make or break annual targets. Last year, FNB reported that its customers alone spent a record R3bn on Black Friday, with 80% of spend taking place in physical stores - an increase of 18% from the previous year. This year, Black Friday is expected to be even bigger, with many South African retailers planning a bonanza Black Friday period. For brands, this means increased consumer footfall with intent to buy.

Leveraging the expertise of an experienced promotional agency can help you create experiences that resonate with consumer buyer behaviour to maximise market share and sales. 6 Mar 2023 Read more Corporate marketing ecosystems are complex. Large internal teams spanning brand, digital, trade and public relations (the list goes on!) are supported by a network of supplier marketing agencies - who all, in turn, have their own networks of partners and suppliers (collectively this is "the channel"). 31 Jan 2023 Read more E-commerce has never been easier, safer, or more convenient. But, as it turns out, us humans haven't gone full cyborg, yet. We love connecting over real-life shared experiences. And shoppers, starved of everyday opportunities to connect during the pandemic are making up for lost time in SA's malls in a big way.
It's time for brands to follow suit. Stop being a wall flower on supermarket shelves. Get back into the forecourts of malls and forefronts of consumers' minds with experiential events and brand activations. 15 Nov 2022 Read more Fast moving consumer goods (FMCG) contribute R1tn to South Africa's annual gross domestic product (roughly 20% of economic production) and employs 2.5 million people (or 16% of the country's total formal labour force).

It's business as usual on the streets of SA. 1 Sep 2020 Read more As technology intensifies and competition proliferates, customers are demanding more bespoke and engaging interactions to give a brand the attention it warrants. 4 Sep 2016 Read more While many businesses are including experiential marketing campaigns into their strategies, the brands that wholeheartedly take advantage of experiences as a core aspect of their businesses are benefitting most. With the real focus of any activation being the consumer, in-person events are a natural progression away from interruption-based tactics and towards editorially driven material. 2 Sep 2016 Read more The why
While activations can and do take place anywhere and in just about any form, often all you need is a spontaneous song and dance to turn your frown upside down. 29 Aug 2016 Read more Humans are odd little creatures, don't you think? We buy products in the hope that they will make us happy, boost our confidence, give us a feeling of satisfaction, or fit in better. Why else would we flash logos on the outside of products? Predictably, though, the serotonin-induced thrill of the new fades away. The feelings of expectation and exhilaration we felt at the moment of purchase are soon spurned by our frontal cortex. We can't help it! It's part of what makes us human. The good news for marketers, though, is that even the most jaded shopper can be influenced by the power of an experience. 25 Aug 2016 Read more Experiential marketing is an astoundingly influential new way for marketers to enhance relations between the consumer and your brand at all phases of the sales process. 26 Jul 2016 Read more Pop goes the world

There's no rule book that says the experience has to cost you a fortune and if you're willing to get creative, there's most certainly a cost effective experiential solution just waiting to boost your brand. 28 Jun 2016 Read more Have you ever heard the quip "I'm too poor to even pay attention"? That would certainly be a shame in the marketing world in this day and age, as attention these days is quite frankly considered to be currency! Without attention, a business and product simply cannot thrive. With the right attention however, you can see your business, product and brand soar to new heights. How do you get the right type of attention? You do this by creating an experience that doesn't just draw attention, but nurtures the type of engagement that is good for your business, as much as it is good for your consumers. 22 Jun 2016 Read more Traditional advertising has had its day.
