The campaign

Two brands, one moment of purchase

Ricola and Fisherman's Friend stand for herbal sweets and lozenges — classic impulse buys, especially in the colder months. In a joint SPAR campaign both products were advertised via DOOH and evaluated together. What was measured was actual sales against a control group without advertising, indexed to the baseline period (January to the campaign start on 6 Oct 2025 = 100).

The result

Additional revenue that goes back to the campaign

+11.2%

more sales across the campaign — compared with similar stores running no advertising.

Incremental growth — the uplift attributable to the campaign alone · Data: SPAR · Analysis: Excom Media, 2025

How it was measured

Stores with the campaign against a control group without, over three weeks. The baseline is the sales figures of the preceding period. What was counted was sales, not recall.

Two brands, one evaluation

Ricola and Fisherman's Friend ran as a joint campaign and were evaluated together. The figure applies to both brands combined, not to either one alone.

Why it works

Sweets and lozenges are spontaneous purchases. The spot is a reminder in the middle of the shop — and it prompts the reach for the shelf.
