Among the drinks trends that have been accelerated by the coronavirus crisis – excepting the rise of larger packs, e-commerce and at-home cocktail creation – attention in marketing circles has turned to product personalisation.
One such activation came along this week in the UK where Diageo kicked off its ‘Message in a bottle’ concept.
The push offers consumers the ability to upload photos and a message to create a 30-second video. A QR code on the bottle – available for single malt Scotch brands Lagavulin, The Singleton and Talisker – allows the recipient to view the video, download it and share via social media.
‘Message in a bottle’ is free with every UK purchase from online platform The Whisky Shop and runs until 21 June – Father’s Day.
According to GlobalData’s latest COVID-19 tracker consumer survey, as of week ten, published last week, 72% of UK consumers admitted that products or services that are tailored to their needs and personality influenced their purchasing choices.
