Case Tolu ProNature

With the help of the campaign the customer wanted to make the Tolu ProNature product line familiar, communicate product features, provide inspiration for using the cleaning products and as well to do the cleaning.
Solution
It was decided to bring the Tolu ProNature test group to the heart of the campaign to sort out the experiences of enthusiastic household cleaners using the new Tolu ProNature product serie.
The testers' feedback and experiences provided an interesting content that communicated the product's features across all the media channels.
The campaign face was professional organizer Laura Holmström. Laura produced and published content on cleaning topics on her own channels where she has committed followers.
A-lehdet coordinated the test group recruitment, produced recruitment announcements and registration pages and was responsible for collecting and analysing the results of the test group.

"A-lehdet test group campaign proposal was interesting from the start because we were bringing completely new products into the Tolu product family. The collaboration with the A-lehdet team was clear and constructive from the beginning. The results of the test group surprised us very positively and the results were also visually very clear and open. All the visual material produced was in line with the new ProNature brand look which we were very pleased with. The cooperation with Laura Holmström also was very well matched with Tolu's brand and target group.
We are very pleased with the whole campaign as we also received valuable information about the purchasing behaviour of the target group. Test results have also been used in the following Tolu ProNature campaigns conducted by A-lehdet", says Brand Manager Virva Tuononen, Henkell Finland.
