Leading school lunch brand

Driving awareness and sales of back to school lunch staples during the back-to-school season

Campaign Goals

A popular peanut butter and jelly brand was looking to boost sales of its school lunch staples at national Walmart stores during the busy back-to-school season. Pre-shop, the company wanted to build brand awareness and consideration amongst an incremental audience, and inspire consumers to add these lunchtime favorites to their shopping carts. The brand was looking to drive product engagement and sales by interacting with users at every touchpoint of their shopping trip – at home, in-aisle, and through checkout.

Shopkick Solution

Shopkick first built pre-shop consideration with fun branded in-app content to boost awareness and engage consumers at home. In store, Shopkick incentivized shoppers to seek out, interact with, and ultimately purchase the featured products by rewarding them throughout their trip, rather than incentivizing purchase with coupons or discounts.

Results

The campaign was successful in driving incremental purchases. In fact, 31% of purchasers were not initially planning to buy the product before their visit to the store. 19% of shoppers who scanned the product then went on to purchase. Additionally, product scans rose more than 60% on promotional days. The campaign delivered a strong ROI for the brand of 2.6:1.

How to Make Grocery Shopping Fun for Kids

Let’s be honest: grocery shopping with kids doesn’t always sound like a good time — but it can be. Growing up, my parents made grocery trips feel like an adventure. From helping with the list to pushing the cart, I felt like part of the process — and I actually looked forward to it! 

If you want to make grocery shopping a little more fun (and a lot less stressful), here are five simple ways to get your kids involved and entertained. 

1. Plan Meals Together

Invite your kids to help plan meals for the week while you’re making your grocery list. Even picky eaters get excited when they’ve had a say in what’s for dinner. Plus, when everyone’s on board with the plan, there’s less begging for extras in the store. 

2. Turn It Into a Scavenger Hunt

Turn shopping into a game! Use the Shopkick app to find products to scan for kicks (our version of points). Kids love the hunt, and you’ll earn rewards toward free gift cards while they help track down items. 

3. Use a Kid-Sized Cart

If your store has mini shopping carts, take advantage! Little ones love having their own cart to push and fill — it gives them a job and keeps them engaged. Perfect for short trips or light shopping days. 

4. Watch & Earn

Shopkick videos are another fun way to keep kids busy while you shop. After scanning items, check for videos to watch right in the app for bonus kicks. They can also explore the Discover Tab to watch and earn from the cart. 

5. Make It One-on-One Time

Grocery shopping can double as quality time. Turn it into a mini “date” with one child at a time. It’s a great way to connect, chat, and knock out an errand together — without distractions.
