How hypt turned ice cream fans into ambassadors — and gave Nuii 2024 a record year

AUSGANGSLAGE
The out-of-home business and retail trade in Switzerland are currently two of the most important sales channels for the Nuii ice cream brand. However, the fact that online reviews and word-of-mouth are usually only created organically is a challenge. In order to actively counteract this problem and generate authentic reviews and personal recommendations, Nuii has thought about how they can activate their satisfied customers.

Nuii sampling campaigns also took place at Swiss train stations in the summer of 2024. For each Nuii Ice Cream distributed, the testers were given a flyer with a hypt QR code to participate in the competition.
From here on, the likeable avatar Lui took over. Lui led the testers through a short, playful and therefore very user-friendly chatbot conversation and asked in 1-2 steps what they thought of the ice cream they had just tasted.
Satisfied NUII testers were then immediately encouraged to quickly and easily send a personal recommendation including a Coop Bon to friends and acquaintances via messenger services such as WhatsApp & Co. In addition, in a final step, you will be asked to submit an online review.
Dissatisfied customers also had the opportunity to express their criticism and tell Lui what they didn't like about the ice cream. This is with the aim of constantly developing Nuii ice cream and being able to meet other taste requirements with future new developments.
