‘Natural beauty’ brand L’Occitane celebrated the launch of its new multi-sensorial flagship store on London’s Regent Street last week with a series of PR stunts and give-aways.
To raise awareness of the new opening and to drive traffic to the store, experiential marketing and staffing agency Ambient was commissioned to run a sampling campaign, featuring the brand’s bestselling hand cream, around London, including an attention-grabbing experiential activation at Tower of London. Consumers were also offered complimentary rides to the new store in L’Occitane-branded London taxi cabs.
Another activation ran near the new flagship store, where shoppers were given small golden keys – they were then invited to visit the new outlet and find out if their key unlocked a beauty hamper worth £250. The golden key activity ran for three days, starting on January 31st.
