Launching a new national brand both online and offline. The question posed by Jumbo Hockey to us was, “How can we effectively launch ourselves nationally and subsequently maintain our positioning?” This involves considering both the online and offline aspects of the business: the webshop and the superstores.
The Gameplan what we did
The first step in the plan was the acquisition of the Hockey Republic chain. This presented the challenge for the company to implement the transformation both online and offline. Implementing this alone does not automatically ensure a successful positioning. This is where our expertise came into play.
Approach
“Launching a new national brand both online and offline through a Next Gen social media strategy.” A beautiful sentence that we translated together into a three-phase plan, where each phase has its own focus and objectives.
Phase 1: Pre-launch Introducing and promoting the Jumbo Hockey brand.
Phase 2: Physical Launch Opening the physical stores both online and offline.
Phase 3: After-launch Ongoing campaigns that further build on success.
Results
The strategy is clear, the final training sessions have taken place, and the warm-up went well: time for the match! Over a period of 1.5 months, the focus was on the online introduction of the brand, using various channels and diverse expressions.
Following this was the opening of the largest Jumbo Hockey store in Utrecht, located in Galgenwaard. Through a well-executed campaign, the target audience was reached and invited to this festive opening. Couldn’t attend in person? Not a problem, both online and offline, we created a program for everyone to participate. After the physical store opening, the foundation for Jumbo Hockey was laid. With various ongoing campaigns, we are now working together with Jumbo Hockey to continue building the brand’s positioning. Conquering the hockey retail market doesn’t happen overnight; it requires a strategy.
