America’s Leading Iced Tea Franchise HTeaO Reaches 100 Locations

HTeaO, America’s largest iced tea franchise, is celebrating a historic brand milestone with the opening of its 100th location at 815 Wellborn Rd, College Station, TX. Coming off an impressive year of franchise development, HTeaO opened 34 locations and awarded 124 franchise agreements across the country in 2023.

ALDI’s New Experience Delivers More For Its Shoppers

Rather than avoiding its identity as a discount store, ALDI embraces it. But it also recognized the need to attract a new generation of shoppers. They needed fresh ideas, including a revamped store layout to showcase products, and they needed it all to be seamlessly rolled out to hundreds of grocery locations across the U.S. ALDI hired JLL Design Solutions to create a new store design.

In addition to low prices, customers also demand freshness. One of the first moves the JLL team recommended was bringing the produce department from the back of the store to the front so that shoppers could see the bright fruits and vegetables at the beginning of their shopping journey. They also added dynamic graphic signs that deliver ALDI’s message of quality and value in their signature lighthearted voice and refreshed endcaps to feature playful and exciting products like florals, reinforcing a sense of freshness.

But those were just the first steps of what JLL and ALDI would call the new “Modern Market” concept-designed to emphasize the grocer’s existing quality and freshness. The concept, focused on healthy food, produce and wine, was designed to attract a more sophisticated shopper while retaining loyal core value shoppers.

Here are some of the key features of the Modern Market concept, first rolled out in California: An open and inviting layout, High visibility of fresh produce and healthy foods, Elevated experience for key categories like wine and beer, Improved navigation and convenience and A look that communicates more than value. The ALDI/JLL collaboration also produced a refreshed shopper journey, from the exterior to the interior, where they opened the ceiling to brighten things up and give the illusion of a larger footprint. That also improved shoppers’ sightlines to eliminate any potential feelings of clutter or confusion.

The team then redesigned key lifestyle departments like wine to elevate the brand further and attract a broader audience. At the same time, updated merchandising fixtures with natural finishes kept ALDI’s aesthetic warm but minimal. On the outside, the store’s exterior was reimagined slightly for adaptability across formats from urban centers to suburban strip malls. To simplify the rollout of the new design and make remodels seamless, the team created a bespoke web portal for easy access to guidelines and standards. It provides a one-stop shop for design materials, specifications and more. All 2,400 stores across 30+ states use the portal, ensuring brand consistency and communication across the portfolio.

The newly remodeled stores didn’t just exceed aesthetic expectations, they’ve also exceeded revenue expectations-doubling expected sales. ALDI has opened more than 900 stores in the past five years, with 139 locations opened or remodeled in 2022 and 120 new stores planned for 2023. It’s clear that customers-no matter the generation-are buying into what ALDI is selling… setting the discount grocer up for continued success in the years to come. (Web Site) www.aldi.us

We believe this is the perfect location for us to connect with our customers on a deeper level. Our goal with this store is not just to sell product, but to give something back to this wonderful city that has given so much to our brand over the years.” (Web Site) www.sportiva.com




PEPSI® Wild Cherry Launches New ‘Get Wild’ Campaign

PEPSI® Wild Cherry is unveiling “Get Wild,” a new advertising campaign that captures the essence of modern adulthood and the new ‘wild’ realities of millennials and young adults. Featuring two brand new commercials that will debut on national television during NFL Wild Card Weekend January 13, the campaign humorously depicts everyday experiences that millennials face as they navigate their new lives of 24/7 adulting. And while responsibilities might look different, so do moments of joy – and with Pepsi® Wild Cherry, those moments are as wild as ever – the vibe is just different.

“As a millennial myself, I know firsthand what it’s like to feel nostalgic for our younger, freer days – and I know that we’re also still good at getting a little bit ‘wild.’ That’s why I love how our new ‘Get Wild’ campaign shows that a sweet, flavorful sip of Pepsi Wild Cherry can inspire us to inject some of that ‘wild’ feeling in our new realities,” said Jenny Danzi, Senior Marketing Director – Pepsi. “We know millennials are seeking fruity and flavorful options when they drink cola, and consumer preferences indicate cherry-flavored cola as a top choice. Now, with the new iconic and gorgeous packaging of Pepsi Wild Cherry-in zero sugar, regular and diet-Pepsi is all-in with Pepsi® Wild Cherry, starting with Wild Card Weekend.”

Getting ‘wild’ looks a little different for millennials as they settle into their “adulting” roles, and many take to social media to share how while they may have challenges, they are also not giving up their ‘wild’ side. Ahead of Wild Card Weekend, Pepsi® Wild Cherry is encouraging everyone who is still figuring out adulting without compromising their ‘wilder’ side to celebrate what their new ‘wild’ looks like through a suite of engaging marketing activations in addition to the new spots.

This Is How Millennials And Gen Z Are Shopping In 2024

Millennial and Gen Z’s shopping habits are as different as avocado toast and TikTok dances. Attentive Impulse advises on how you can bridge that generational gap. With a new generation entering the workforce and gaining more spending power, 43% of marketers agree: To successfully reach Gen-Z, they need a generation-specific playbook. While Gen Z and millennials are both digitally native generations, their relationships with technology and their respective spending power create some important nuances in how they shop.

At the most basic level, you can define the two generations by when they were born. Millennials were born between 1981 and 1996 (making them between 28 and 43 years old), while Gen Z were born between 1997 and 2012 (making them between 12 and 27 years old). The real divide comes from the stage of life each generation is in. Millennials are established in their careers, giving them greater spending power. They’re also more likely to be going through major life milestones-like getting married, moving into a home, and having children-and have their own households to shop for. Gen Z, on the other hand, are still in college or in the early stages of their careers. They have less disposable income, and fewer life events to shop for.

Millennials are impulse shoppers, 74% of millennials say they make frequent or occasional impulse purchases. When shopping on their phones, 56% of all consumers polled say they’ll make a purchase within a day of discovering an item. But when you know, you know: A whopping 74% admit to making frequent or occasional impulse purchases, followed by Gen X (69%), Gen Z (63%), and baby boomers (53%). Interestingly, millennials are nearly as likely to make an impulse purchase on their phone (48%) as they are in-store (49%). However, they rarely make an impulse purchase on their computers (a measly 3%). Successfully spurring impulse purchases comes down to reaching shoppers with the right item at the right time, whether they’re browsing a check-out aisle or scrolling on their phones-something predictive AI is making easier than ever.

Gen Z likes to do their research, 47% of Gen Z say they prefer to wait at least a few ays before making a purchase. 47% of Gen Z say they prefer to wait at least a few days before making a purchase, compared to 41% of millennials. It turns out that Gen Z are more thoughtful spenders, taking their time to research something before buying it. That inclination makes sense. Gen Z shoppers are only just entering the workforce and aren’t making as many major purchases. They’re most comfortable spending between $20 and $50 dollars online, compared to their more established millennial counterparts, who are most comfortable spending between $50 and $100 online. That price point ticks up to $100 when Gen Z shops in-store, when they can see and test out a product in person.

Driving conversions among Gen Z shoppers comes down, in part, to tailoring your messaging to your products’ price points. When promoting offers and new items, highlight products that fall between $20 and $50. For more expensive items, consider sending a series of text messages that help them learn more about a recommended product. You can include positive reviews, user-generated content, a demo video, and invite them to speak to a sales associate via Attentive Concierge™. And using geo-targeting, you can encourage shoppers to visit a store near them after they’ve engaged with educational content.

Both Gen Z and millennials are turning to mobile to discover new products. 87% of shoppers are interested in discovering and buying new products on mobile. Shoppers across all generations are very open to discovering and purchasing new items on mobile. A majority of consumers (50%) buy a mix of new items and repeat purchases when shopping on their phones. An additional 37% of shoppers buy products they have just discovered, indicating a willingness to explore and try new things. Only 13% say they strictly repurchase items they’ve bought before, presenting marketers with a great opportunity to not just recommend new products, but also cross-sell and up-sell via mobile. By tailoring your marketing strategies to the unique shopping habits of both generations, you can build loyalty among Gen Z shoppers and drive more conversions.

Cooler Screens Launches CoolerX Using AI To Power Digital In-Store Retail Experiences And Unlock Consumer Intent

Cooler Screens, the technology company powering the in-store retail media and merchandising revolution, has launched CoolerX, an advanced and differentiated software solution that uses AI and data science to identify precise marketing activation opportunities in stores, driving incremental sales growth for retailers and brands. Developed in collaboration with Microsoft and NVIDIA, global leaders in AI applications, the software is tailor-made to operate “smart screens” for the in-store retail environment.

At its core, the software features a first-of-its-kind in-store “intent engine,” which uses AI to analyze data points gathered from consumer behavior, contextual signals, and first-party retailer data. It anticipates shopper needs, allowing retailers and brand advertisers to deliver highly targeted and relevant information at the point of decision.

“Just as search engines and e-commerce sites know what consumers are interested in when online and serve them relevant content, we now can do the same inside brick-and-mortar stores. By understanding shoppers’ intent and activating marketing content that is most relevant to consumer experience, we drive sales growth for retailers and brands,” said Arsen Avakian, Cooler Screens’ co-founder and CEO.

The software uses a network of sensors and AI-compute capabilities to bring real-time visibility into and understanding of on-shelf availability, location, and movement, which is then combined with a granular view of shopper browsing, engagement and conversion signals (such as proximity, dwell time, attention, actions). This information is integrated within a closed-loop feedback system, which then fuels an AI-enabled recommendation engine to predict consumer intent.

Recommendations are integrated into an advertising platform, which provides brand advertisers the capability of placing marketing campaigns dynamically and programmatically at the precise point and moment of shopper decision-making. This approach generates a deeper, data-driven understanding of consumer interaction, similar to online ecommerce, with real-time insights into shopper engagement and advertising performance.
