We were asked to pilot a scheme to increase awareness of Cavity Wall and Loft Insulation in 5 B&Q stores over 3 weekends (Thurs – Sun) till 16th Dec 07 in the North West.

Local Choice Milk in Tesco We were asked to provide 25 staff for 6 days over 2 weeks by Dairy Farmers of Britain to increase awareness in (20) Tesco North East and (5)Tesco North West of England on an initiative to inform customers of why this milk costs a few pence more. Locally sourced milk is sold at a modest premium and all the extra money is passed back to the farmers to keep them in business.  The number of dairy farmers in the UK has almost halved in the last 10 years – dairy farms have struggled since the abolition of guaranteed pricing though the Milk Marketing Board in 1994.   The “localchoice” milk brand was launched on May 14 th  2007.  The brand was created to help sustain smaller, family farmers across the country by paying them more for the “localchoice” milk they supply.  The farmers are located in the same region as the stores that stock their milk which means customers choosing to buy “localchoice” are directly contributing to sustaining farms in the same region they live.   Thurs- Sat 22-24 th  Nov & Thurs29th –Sat 1 st  Dec 6 days of activity (150 store days) Activity completed exactly on Budget Thanks Charles and for all the feedback – great.  Sales yesterday were 4 time higher then last week.

Chicken in Sizzling Sauce –  Chicken Tonite  now known as part of  Knorr – Ragu  range One Variety of an initial four varieties was to be sampled and all chicken and sauce had to be cooked on site.  This activity had to be done in Shopping Malls across the UK and involved both creating and placing the stand while making sure that power points were available for cooking. All chicken cooked had to be breast of chicken and served as hot as possible this involved a large area behind the stand being used as preparation and storage facility. Requirements were that all staff had a Basic Food Hygiene Certificate, that a source for boiling water was available, all utensils were colour coded for cooked and uncooked cutting and all electrical equipment met with safety standards. In order to keep cooking the front of the stand was set up as a display kitchen and members of the public invited to see a demonstration of how best to cook the product. This allowed us to keep the public stimulated while cooking progressed and attracted attention of passers-by, by sense of smell and a public address system telling them to try Chicken in a Sizzling Sauce. The activity involved 12 staff per day averaging 700 samples each over the 3-4 day event a total of 8400 samples per day, 25,000-33,000 over the activity per venue.   If consumers gave approval to the product they were advised of a purchase point or stockist but  no vouchers  were handed out, the brand owner decided that the product could stand alone as authentic and unique in taste and quality. The result was that this is now a leading new brand stocked in all major multiples and with additional range extensions and has many more varieties.

  • 21. Local Choice Milk in Tesco We were asked to provide 25 staff for 6 days over 2 weeks by Dairy Farmers of Britain to increase awareness in (20) Tesco North East and (5)Tesco North West of England on an initiative to inform customers of why this milk costs a few pence more. Locally sourced milk is sold at a modest premium and all the extra money is passed back to the farmers to keep them in business. The number of dairy farmers in the UK has almost halved in the last 10 years – dairy farms have struggled since the abolition of guaranteed pricing though the Milk Marketing Board in 1994. The “localchoice” milk brand was launched on May 14 th 2007. The brand was created to help sustain smaller, family farmers across the country by paying them more for the “localchoice” milk they supply. The farmers are located in the same region as the stores that stock their milk which means customers choosing to buy “localchoice” are directly contributing to sustaining farms in the same region they live. Thurs- Sat 22-24 th Nov & Thurs29th –Sat 1 st Dec 6 days of activity (150 store days) Activity completed exactly on Budget Thanks Charles and for all the feedback – great.  Sales yesterday were 4 time higher then last week.

Requirements were that all staff had a Basic Food Hygiene Certificate, that a source for boiling water was available, all utensils were colour coded for cooked and uncooked cutting and all electrical equipment met with safety standards. In order to keep cooking the front of the stand was set up as a display kitchen and members of the public invited to see a demonstration of how best to cook the product. This allowed us to keep the public stimulated while cooking progressed and attracted attention of passers-by, by sense of smell and a public address system telling them to try Chicken in a Sizzling Sauce. The activity involved 12 staff per day averaging 700 samples each over the 3-4 day event a total of 8400 samples per day, 25,000-33,000 over the activity per venue. If consumers gave approval to the product they were advised of a purchase point or stockist but no vouchers were handed out, the brand owner decided that the product could stand alone as authentic and unique in taste and quality. The result was that this is now a leading new brand stocked in all major multiples and with additional range extensions and has many more varieties.
