Sprite and Pringles Hot are showing off a new cross-category POS campaign for the convenience store channel in the UK to encourage shoppers to pick up a serving of both when a snack craving hits. The campaign will see Pringles Hot snacks promoted alongside Sprite sodas as the perfect pairing for shoppers to pick up this summer. The campaign focuses on the spicy Pringles Hot snack chips alongside the cooling Sprite drinks, which will catch the attention of shoppers thanks to the duality of the marketing materials.
Convenience Environment Lead at CCEP GB Kate Abbotson spoke on the Sprite and Pringles Hot campaign saying, "Recent research has shown that activating occasion-led messaging at point of purchase where food and drink are merchandised together can double shopper engagement and increase sales by up to 32%, so we’d encourage convenience retailers to get activating in-store and appeal to shoppers who want spicy food and a refreshing soft drink.”
