From the Roll: A Short-Story On Toilet Paper Rolls
Zewa
How do you increase the consumption level of toilet paper? We devised a campaign with unique added value – and a perfect ambiguity: “to be from the roll” means to be confused, which also best describes the protagonist of the story. On the other hand it also means that the story is coming directly from the roll of toilet paper.
The results
Sell-out of the rolls, increased consumer‘s reactions.
The challenge
Secure secondary display, increase sales
We wanted to create a promotion that would secure a secondary display in business and increase sales of Zewa toilet paper – without price-off, on-pack or other customary mechanics; a promotion offering an additional value for the consumer.
The solution
We offered something that never goes amiss at the restrooms: reading matter
We wrote a short-story and distributed it on several rolls of toilet paper: ideal for collectors and barters. The story: A day in Berger’s life, who is entirely „from the roll.“ First off, he loses his wallet. He manages to recover it, and with it the love of his life. Readers were able to skim through the story on the Zewa website.
