If you are supplying beers, wines or spirits to the on and off-trades then here’s why the separate London Competitions – with closing date for entries on January 31 –could be a new marketing opportunity for your brands, products and suppliers in key markets around the world.
With so many global drinks competitions it can be hard to determine which ones to enter. Which ones are going to have the most impact both within the drinks industry and the end consumer you want to buy your products?
That is why the three London Competitions – the London Wine Competition, The London Spirits Competition and the London Beer Competition – have been introduced. To give the suppliers, brand owners and producers entering the chance to shine a bright spotlight on the wines, beers and spirits they are hoping to sell.
Quality, price, packaging and design
An opportunity for their brands to shine in three key areas:
- the quality of the product.
- their price and value for money.
- the design and packaging and what they look like.
The points scored when judging the three competitions are divided to ensure the right weighting is given to each of the three key criteria of quality, price and design. It is broken down as such.
- Quality Score: marked out of 50
- Value Score: marked out of 25
- Packaging/Design Score: marked out of 25
