Manchester vape retail hub flooded with advertising as brands including ELFBAR and LOSTMARY take centre stage
The 2Firsts team visited the UK's vape retail hub in Manchester and found that outdoor advertising space is dominated by major brands, with ads for ELFBAR, HAYATI and IVG standing out the most.

The 2Firsts team recently visited the UK e-cigarette market and noticed that the outdoor advertising space at the Manchester e-cigarette distribution centre is occupied by several major brands. In particular, ads from ELFBAR, LOST MARY, SKE, HAYATI and IVG stand out, covering almost every visible surface.

 

It is reported that the Manchester e-cigarette distribution centre is a major hub for the sale and distribution of e-cigarette products in the UK. The centre focuses on providing a range of e-cigarettes and related products, including e-cigarette devices, e-liquids and accessories.

 

Outdoor advertising at the e-cigarette distribution centre reflects a certain level of investment in the local market by these brands. The extensive advertising coverage may be one of the strategies used by these brands to maintain visibility and attract potential customers in the local market competition.
