Johnson's® in Boots - Summer 2007 - Summer Legs Promotion

'The promotion went well, people really liked the Shower and Shave products. The Holiday Skin is a favourite for regular users of tanning products'.

Powergirls have completed a promotion for Johnson's® Summer Legs - through Boots Stores nationwide. The Johnson's® campaign combined their popular Shower & Shave products with the Holiday Skin tanning product. We covered 97 stores across the UK and Ireland on the 25th May. A Free Standing Display Unit (FSDU) was set up in store containing both ranges of products under the Summer Legs campaign banner.

The feedback from our demonstrators told us that the promotion had been well received from their point of view. Customers were 'really willing to try' and the overall feeling was that the promotion definitely prompted customers to try and buy.

These conclusions were backed up by the perception of the Boots stores staff who commented on the amount of products sold, how well the products were presented and the positive appearance of the Point Of Sale (POS). In fact in some stores the stock was almost sold out due to the popularity of this one day promotion!

Another successful Powergirls promotion with Johnson's® and Boots. We will be promoting in Boots stores nationwide again very soon!
