Ripple+ to Promote E-Cigarette Brand in UK Convenience Stores
Electronic cigarette brand Ripple+ promotes in convenience stores with brand logo on storefronts and signage. Available in 850+ stores worldwide.

The British e-cigarette brand Ripple+ will promote its brand in convenience stores, with its brand logo appearing on the storefronts, signs, and windows of these stores.


Stores in Camden Town and Notting Hill in the UK, as well as stores in Manchester and Bristol, have been designated for use in an upcoming marketing campaign slated for early next year.


This brand is stocked in over 850 pharmacies and stores worldwide, including Superdrug and WHSmith, and began acquisitions of stores in 2020.


Lucie Beecham, co-founder of Ripple+, has announced that they have started negotiating with retailers to propose an ambitious plan to completely transform their stores. The aim behind this transformation is to ensure that the brand's core users are able to see their promotional material within the store.


Co-founder Sam Beecham stated, "Since taking over these stores, we have noticed a significant increase in the amount of brand information retrieved by customers from each store. The brand is being photographed or mentioned on social media about 10-20 times per week.


The brand states that their next generation of aroma diffusers aims to alleviate oral fixation by mimicking the hand-to-mouth gesture. They have replaced the unpleasant nicotine with natural plant extracts and scents, transporting you to a utopia of inhalable delights.


The company was founded in 2019 when the founding siblings became enamored with sweet and nicotine-laden electronic smoking devices during their time residing in the United States. The company is currently headquartered in Camden, a borough in inner London, and employs 16 staff members.

Australia Tobacco Tax Debate Spreads Within Labor as NSW Premier Minns Reaffirms Support for a Cut
