Fall Summary 

 

PERIOD 7 September 15 - October 12
PERIOD 8 October 13 - November 9

Seasonal Themes

Period 7

The Fall season will launch with our annual celebration of local. In store, the campaign will be flighted either Ontario VQA or International-Domestic Blends.

Product Discovery: Local with a focus on VQA products.

Flight A (VQA): We’ll connect Ontarians to the world-class VQA wines produced right here at home. Flight B (IDB): We’ll highlight customer favourite brands that offer incredible value and unique formats.

Period 8

As we head into the holiday season, we’ll shine light on the spirits category, helping customers discover the perfect bottle to gift, sip or mix in the perfect fall cocktailing. Our P8 campaign will promote spirits trial, and recruit new customers to the category.

Product Discovery: Easy Solutions, with a focus on whisky
