On average, a consumer buys vinaigrette three times a year, with a peak from Easter to September. Vandemoortele's promotions are mainly scheduled at the beginning of the season because people usually don't try new things at the end of the summer.
Additionally, Vandemoortele knows that the vinaigrette category is highly dependent on the weather. People don't eat salads when it's cold and wet, but they do much more when a few nice days are unexpectedly forecasted.
That's why Vandemoortele likes to go digitally: it allows them to be more responsive.
This activation is all about making Vandemoortele's Vinaigrettes 450 ML top-of-mind among the consumers of the category of salads/sauces, during their peak season, from May to the summer month. It was about creating a story, a repetition of their message at different time of the year.
The idea was to make the consumers discover their vinaigrette assortment and drive them towards conversion.
