Hendrick\u2019s Gin is returning to its unconventional travel retail marketing activations with the launch of a Bureau de Change pop-up at Amsterdam Schiphol Airport in partnership with Gebr. Heinemann.<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

The brand new Hendrick\u2019s Gin experience launched on 1 August and runs through 30 September at Amsterdam Schiphol Airport in cooperation with Schiphol Airport Retail (SAR), the joint venture between Gebr. Heinemann and Royal Schiphol Group and is located in the airport\u2019s Lounge 1 area. Hendrick\u2019s Gin invites the traveller to \u2018Step out of the Conventional\u2019 and into the curious world of Hendrick\u2019s Gin, where nothing is as it seems and currency is the humble cucumber.<\/p>\n

Hendrick\u2019s Gin has worked with travel retail shopper marketing specialist HRG to design a pop-up retail space that engages at the earliest stage of the traveller journey and invites guests to exchange cucumber currency for education, experiences and lasting memories.<\/p>\n

“We are delighted to be partnering with Heinemann and Schiphol Airport to bring our marquee experiential activation to life. In a world that is dull and conventional, it is important we bring back the excitement and delight our travelling consumers by immersing them in the wonderful World of Hendrick\u2019s Gin and our Bureau de Change”<\/em> said Lindsay Hitzeroth, Head of Customer Marketing Global Travel Retail, William Grant & Sons.<\/p>\n

\u201cThere will be opportunity to be rewarded in the real world and in the digital one. Our cucumber currency is exchangeable for all kinds of delectables, such as superior knowledge and taste experiences that travellers will not find anywhere else.<\/em><\/p>\n

“Hendrick\u2019s Gin is the number one super premium gin in travel retail and growing triple-digit year-on-year as not only the channel recovers, but we continue to see the gin category booming in many markets across the world. With this activation we hope to excite and educate our travellers and encourage shoppers to \u2018Step out of the Conventional\u2019 through our unique experiential marketing,\u201d<\/em> said Hitzeroth. \u201cToday consumers are looking to treat themselves, drinking less but better quality, with Hendrick\u2019s Gin being the perfect, peculiar, premium brand for that refreshing G&T (with cucumber) moment.\u201d<\/em><\/p>\n

\u201cWe expect to see high engagement for this latest pop-up retail concept at Amsterdam Schiphol which carries all the hallmarks of Hendrick\u2019s Gin and its unconventional approach to memorable gin experiences within the duty free space. It is a perfect fit for our duty free retail offer, as we always aim to create a spectacular assortment for travellers, surprising them with new product highlights and unexpected activations,\u201d<\/em> said Jens Peter Peuckert, Director Marketing at Gebr. Heinemann.<\/p>\n

Simon Asmus, Managing Director at Schiphol Airport Retail, added: \u201cWe are delighted to welcome back Hendrick\u2019s Gin with another innovative and exciting brand activation at Amsterdam Schiphol. It\u2019s a pleasure to be teaming up with Hendrick\u2019s to bring this attention-grabbing and fun shopping experience to passengers.\u201d<\/em><\/p>\n

There are three experience exchanges available at the Hendrick\u2019s Gin Bureau de Change pop-up.<\/p>\n

Once inside, guests can simply scan the QR codes on proximity advertising or when arriving at the Point of Sale at the Hendrick\u2019s Gin Bureau de Change to claim their cucumber currency \u2013 then the fun begins.<\/p>\n

The Swap & Sip Parlour offers guests the opportunity to exchange a single cucumber coin to sample a taste sensation.<\/p>\n

Hendrick\u2019s Gin is confident that once travellers have tasted its most unusual gin, they\u2019re going to want to buy a bottle.<\/p>\n

An immersive video experience showcases Hendrick\u2019s liquid credentials, with its odd infusion of rose and cucumber and peculiar mode of creation explained.<\/p>\n

Stepping inside Hendrick\u2019s Gin Master Distiller Leslie Gracie\u2019s taste laboratory, guests can exchange another cucumber coin to explore how to try her infusion technique for mixing rose and cucumber and its peculiar mode of creation.<\/p>\n

The final brand experience within the pop-up gamifies the Bureau de Change takeaway. The Curious Cucumber Spinner takes centre stage near the sampling area and has been created using touch-screen tech with a trio of objectives in mind: to reinforce travellers\u2019 knowledge of Hendrick\u2019s Gin liquid credentials; to demonstrate the versatility of serve options and dial up taste perceptions; to provide a purchase driver with value added incentive.<\/p>\n

Travellers who purchase a bottle of gin will be rewarded with a Hendrick\u2019s Field Notes Notebook to take with them on their adventures.<\/p>\n
