The new Heffron rum brand arrived to customers on a ship

Heffron cane rum has its place in the assortment of the Czech distillery “Palírna U Zeleného stromu” since 2019. The name refers to Czech legionnaires and their journey from Vladivostok via Panama back to Czechoslovakia. Now Heffron draws attention to itself in Czech stores with the help of our non-traditional pallet display in the shape of a ship and a lighthouse.

“For Heffron, we wanted to create a permanent display that would refer to the values of the brand and the story of the Czechoslovak legionaries in whose honor the rum was created. The goal was to make Heffron more visible in stores, to interest shoppers and thus increase the penetration of shopping baskets,” explains Michal Kučera, the Brand Manager of “Palírna U Zeleného stromu”. After placing the pallet display in Makro stores, we recorded a significant increase in sales, which grew along with increasing brand awareness. That is why in-store visibility will continue to play an important role in brand communication in the future,” adds Kučera.

The goal of our designers was to combine the history associated with the Heffron brand with modern premium materials. “The display is very elaborate and completely backlit. I am glad that we managed to incorporate a flashing lighthouse into the display, which will attract the attention of shoppers,” Lucie Michajlov, our Project Manager, presents the concept. “In addition to the elaborate design, this display also offers a large capacity, and we expect long-term placement in stores,” she adds.

In addition to the permanent pallet display in the shape of a ship, we have also created cardboard quarter-pallet stands for smaller format stores for the Heffron brand. Thanks to the increase in sales after the placement of these displays, it is planned to expand short-term and long-term placements to other stores. Heffron gained great popularity among customers, last year it became the fastest growing brand in the cane rum category.
