Products with Value-Adds

 

How It Works

Building on LCBO’s successful Wine Wednesday Program, we are looking for products that offer great Value-Adds exclusively for our eCommerce channel across all categories.

The product itself does not need to be an eCommerce exclusive, but the offer (product with value-add) must be an eCommerce exclusive. Offers can be single or multiple products with a value-add. The value-add is the offer ‘story’.

Successful value adds over Holiday Season have included blankets, board games, quality glassware, gift-cards for province-wide retailers and restaurants, but we are open to all types of ideas that can drive strong sell-through of the offer (minimum target $50K to $70K in sales over the season).

This is an Excel Applied Promotional Program. Please apply by completing the Excel Application Form before the deadline.
