In-Store Promo: What To Learn From Milo Custom Mini Van Toys?

Custom toys are timeless and appeal to all ages for various reasons such as nostalgia and the fun they can bring to anyone’s life. Hence, these branded promotional toys are the perfect promotional gift if you’re aiming for a wide variety of age groups and for the public’s good impression. We’ll take a look at Milo’s custom mini van toys promotion to get you started.

Our team spotted Milo’s latest promotion in one of the stores we visited in Singapore and got intrigued alongside the store’s shoppers. Milo is a brand of multinational food and beverage company from Switzerland, Nestle.

Milo is developed by an Australian food scientist as a powdered malt chocolate drink people could mix with water or milk. It’s essentially made for kids, to deliver the necessary nutrients to them in a tasty way without costing their parents so much. Later on, Milo developed into a snack bar, breakfast cereal and protein granola.

Milo’s Custom Mini Van Toys

For this marketing campaign, the beloved energy drink of all ages, Milo, launched 5 collectable custom mini van toys based on their delivery vans from the 1950s up to now. It’s in line with the brand’s motto to always deliver nutrition to its market.

These toys can be found as on-pack gifts in Milo 3-in-1 and Milo Gao Siew Dai. Each pack has one random custom mini van toy that may not be taken apart, contrary to its lego appearance. If consumers want to have the full custom mini van toy set, they can shop online, purchasing 6 packs of the brand.

What Can You Learn From Milo’s Custom Mini Van Toys Promo?

1. Custom toys

Custom toys are great promotional merchandise since they can be played with for kids and can also be displayed for adults. It caters to a wide age market all the while giving your brand a huge space for creativity.

Milo decided for their flagship trucks as their custom toys because it perfectly delivers the message they want their consumers to know: they’ve been delivering since the 1950s and they’re here to do it for the long run. The key to custom toys that resonate with your market is how it reflects your brand and your consumers’ lives.

2. Collectible merchandise

Collectable branded gifts offer a guaranteed increase in sales. Since most people, especially kids in the case of custom mini van toys, would want to have all of the designs available, it also means a lot of people would repeat their purchases.

And since collectables are usually showcased, it means your branded merchandise will be taken well care of, lasting for as long as possible and exposing your brand to a lot of prospective consumers.

3. Consumers’ choice

Freedom to choose is always an appreciated factor by consumers. Milo demonstrated this through the ways consumers can get their custom mini van toys. People can try their luck and feel the thrill of the surprise by purchasing in retail stores or online stores.

In addition to that, the brand also gave a lot of thought to the people’s preferences in taste. Since they’re launching the promotion in Singapore, they made sure its citizens will be able to join the promotion through the Milo flavour specifically made for their taste buds. Consumers can purchase the Milo 3-in-1 or the more tailored Milo Gao Siew Dai.

4. On-pack benefits

On-pack promos are famous to consumers since it makes the promotional gift more real and within their reach. Since they can see it, the chances they will buy out of impulse is higher.

There’s also people’s fear of missing out on something. This gets intensified when the object is within their sight and reach.

5. Clear promotional campaign

As we can see in the pack, the brand clearly communicated that the toys in each pack are put in random and that the truck toys cannot be taken apart. This sets a clear expectation for consumers which paves way for a smooth consumer and brand relationship.

It also lowers the risk of consumer dissatisfaction since they’re already informed beforehand. The key here is to keep it as short as possible without any vague words.

How To Better Catch Shopper’s Attention?

As we’ve seen above, the retail store shelf is full of Milo products and the packs with the custom mini van toys are positioned in the middle. This can cause confusion for shoppers and pass the custom mini van toys promo without knowing about it.
