Simple is Better Messaging

Often the simple, straightforward way is the best. Looking at the Woolworth’s Department store in Cape Town, South Africa (2012 International Responsible Retailer of the Year) demonstrates this communications principle.

We’ve all seen fancy or complicated packaging. And the ingredients information on jars and boxes requires a magnifying glass for reading ease. Too often, one has to strain to get the message.

This is not the case at Woolworth’s Grocery Department! Their food floor has a powerful and arresting series of posters that have strong, simple statements about food quality.

J.C. Williams Group thinks these are great examples for other stores to emulate!

Woolworth’s tied in this power product quality campaign with WRewards (10% off), Taste magazine and The Daily Difference newspaper. Very nice!
