The problem this solves

What happens without this campaign

Habit is the biggest barrier to household product switching

Consumers buy the same detergent every week because it's automatic. A reward at first purchase interrupts the habit.

No mechanism to reinforce a trial purchase

A consumer who picks up your product for the first time has no reason to make it their new habit.

Private label has the trial advantage on price

Supermarket own-brands are often the first thing consumers try when switching. A first-buy reward competes directly.

Why brands run this incentive programme

What this incentive programme delivers for your business

Interrupts the established habit at the trial moment

A first-purchase reward creates a positive experience that can override years of habitual purchasing.

Captures consumer identity at brand switch

The moment a consumer switches to your brand is when they're most receptive to registering.

Pulls forward the second purchase

A first-buy reward creates the expectation of ongoing value. The second purchase follows naturally.

Works across supermarket and informal channels

Receipt upload mechanics capture first purchases whether they happen in Shoprite or a local convenience store.
