Soulflower spreads its aroma

As the wellness industry shows promising future for wellness products tilted towards providing spa experience at home, Soulflower reaffirms its brand positioning at retail.

As the the boom makes way for new brands to enter the market, the big players strenthen their shopper base by engaging with their shoppers through experience oriented utility driven compact units which not only attract shoppers and work towards strengthing their position in the market, but also rekindle their relation with the shoppers by being interactive .  

Soulflower is an aromatic brand which targets their shoppers to recreate the spa feel at home, hence their units have a demo version of their products so the shopper can touch feel and experience the aroma of different flavours and variants of their brand. A special space is dedicated to stock the demo version on top of the displays.

As Amit Sarda, MD, Soulflower says, "The campaign is directed towards our products and the experience it provides. We want our shoppers to experience our brand and all our communication is targeted towards it. All our fixtures were designed, created and implemented to give a touch-and-feel experience where we wanted shoppers to hold the product and feel it first before buying."

The designs were created by the brand. Amit adds, ""All the designs created are different according to the location and as HyperCity is a prime location we have created fixtures which result in accessiblity of our brand and products to our shoppers and widens our reach."
