Canned goods are some of the most “reliable” products one can have in their kitchen. They have a long shelf life and are easy to combine with other fresh ingredients for a healthy meal.
In this case study, we will focus on Bolton Group's successful in-store activation campaign. Let’s see how they’ve managed to increase their sales by 65% with an innovative brand activation. Before we deep dive into the campaign, let’s take a look at this category.
Canned goods are becoming more popular
The global canned food market size is projected to reach USD 100.92 billion by 2027, exhibiting a CAGR of 1.30% during the forecast period [2020-2027]. This category is appreciated by both consumers and retailers because of its long shelf life and convenience.
Fish and other seafood products usually have a short shelf life, but when they are canned, they can last up for months or even years. Calvo is a brand that offers canned tuna and other fish products.
