Clipper Teas, the ethical and organic tea brand owned by Wessanen UK, has partnered with chocolate producer Seed and Bean on a large scale on-pack promotion; available to all its retail partners nationwide.
Over 300,000 packs of Clipper’s green tea will carry a Seed and Bean branded sticker which will give consumers an opportunity to claim a free bar of Seed and Bean’s 85g dark chocolate.
There are four flavours to choose from: Extra Dark, Cornish Sea Salt, Extra Dark 72% Cocoa, Extra Dark Mint and Fine Dark Lemon and Cardamon.
To claim their free chocolate, consumers will be directed towards a dedicated micro-site to enter the unique code printed on the inside of the box. They will then be asked to choose the flavour they want, and the free bar will be sent to them.
The promotional packs are available from mid-December 2017 and will be available until stocks last.
