Opinion: Maximising Engagement for New Banknote Series Launching a new banknote series involves a lot more than just unveiling designs – it's about capturing the public's attention and ensuring understanding of key features. Holding people's interest is a challenge, but strategic timing makes all the difference. ATMs offer a prime opportunity for engagement. Imagine showcasing the new series nationally, then reminding a member of the public at the ATM individually and then they are holding the physical notes moments later. It's a wonderful transition from virtual to tangible, generating curiosity and a connection. This approach, as part of a wraparound public education campaign, could transform transactions into meaningful and informative interactions, making each encounter an opportunity to educate and engage. It reminds people not only what has been done, but why they should care about their cash. #banknotes #cash #maximumengagement #cashmarketing #atmmarketing #publiceducation

BEAN BROWSING 👀 That feeling when you get in store after the space has been cleared but before the new line is on shelf 😬 It’s like picking up a present on Christmas Eve and finding that it feels empty 😱 Then we go give the partners / store team a friendly nudge. Which is like giving sending Santa a follow-up letter. I hear rumours that Bold Bean Co | B Corp™ Baked Beans are on lots of Waitrose shelves now so I’ll be going back in store to investigate. 👉🏼 In the meantime, let me know the horror stories of how long it has taken your stock to actually appear on shelf (Waitrose are pretty good in my experience but some places can laaaag). And check out how fast I say “Bold Bean Baked Beans” in the video. It’s the new ‘she sells sea shells’. 👇🏼 💨 Huge kudos to anyone who comments with a video of themselves saying it faster. Almost forgot, the baked beans are amazing. I’ve been hoarding them from Ocado already. Strongly recommend the Smoky Chilli ones in particular 😋 #productlaunch #ukretail #fmcg #challengerbrands #foodbusiness ______________________ I do not work for Bold Bean Co. I am an early-stage investor in the business but mainly a super-fan and odd-looking cheerleader. I AM Co-founder of The Cultured Collective, which cannot be found in Waitrose yet. Surely there is a little space on the shelf waiting somewhere…

Awesome article in CSP on the S&S change to InnoVisors! Check it out:

To my mind, this remains an area of considerable opportunity for supermarkets, and there are some interesting approaches in the US to learn from, including this one. With the strategic goals of meeting more food & drink missions, connecting in more ways with customers and better serving their needs, it feels like there’s a good opportunity here for further development.

🔥 Listen up – the snack you didn’t know you needed. 🔥 Proud to say that United Food Brands Ltd just launched the Oreo Chilled Milk Snack in 250 Sainsbury's Local stores as part of the meal deal. If you’re into bold flavours with that classic Oreo vibe but a chilled twist, this snack is it. 🥛🍫 Already flying off the shelves – we knew this would be a hit, but the response has been even bigger than we expected. So, if you haven’t grabbed one yet, get to your nearest Sainsbury's Local and give it a go. It’s seriously worth it. And for any other retailers tuning in, let’s talk – this is the kind of snack that’s bringing the heat (well, the chill) and deserves to be everywhere. Get on board because this is just the beginning. So go on – treat yourself, grab one, and let us know what you think. Here’s to bold moves and good food. 🌍✌️ #UnitedFoodBrands #OreoMilkSnack #SainsburysLocal #MealDealMagic #ForTheBold #RealFlavor #RateMyMealDeal
