The Shopper Challenge

Create Holiday Urgency Without Limiting Where Consumers Shop

Energizer needed a national promotion that could drive incremental seasonal sales, verify qualifying purchases, and stay simple for shoppers across a broad retail landscape.

One offer across channels

Instead of separate retailer-specific promotions, Energizer used one consistent offer across grocery, mass, dollar, drug, club, hardware, and specialty retailers.

A fast digital payoff

Approved shoppers selected PayPal or Venmo, turning a verified $20 purchase into a familiar $5 digital rebate.
