27 Million Brits Prove Power of Promotions
Victor Kok, Director of IMI International, starts the session with fresh insights into the effectiveness of various promotional mechanics. He highlights that 60% of Brits (18 – 65 yrs old), or approximately 27 million people, participate in promotions annually. Online entry has increased in participation, while instant win promotions remain the most effective, requiring the least effort and driving maximum participation and purchase rates. QR code entries have surged since COVID-19, now at 45%, due to their ability to conveniently bridge physical and digital spaces. Meanwhile, more complex methods like downloading an app or entering via Instagram reveal significant reductions in promotional participation, with notable differences across generations. Victor unpacks optimal prize odds, suggesting a one in ten chance is the ultimate balance between impact and feasibility. He advises against using discounts as prizes, recommending instead a variety of prizes, including a grand prize, frequency prizes, and risk-managed prizes.

Promotions are effective across all generation, Victor highlighted generational differences in promotional engagement with Millennials the most active participants in promotions, followed by Gen X and baby boomers, while Gen Z has the lowest engagement rates. This demographic prefers digital and gamified experiences and is highly responsive to promotions integrated into their digital ecosystem, such as mobile apps or social media platforms. They are also more likely to participate in promotions offering experiential rewards rather than just financial incentives. Victor pointed out that despite these differences, simplicity and immediacy are crucial for all. He further explains that overly large prizes can sometimes be perceived as unattainable and deter participation. For instance, while a prize of £10 million might seem attractive, many consumers may view it as unrealistic. Prizes should be appealing enough to attract interest but also perceived as realistically attainable to encourage actual participation.
