UCC coffee promotional activities in Japan

Overview

UCC has engaged in various promotional activities in Japan. In early October, the company hosted a limited-time “UCC Capsule Coffee Shop” event at Tokyo Midtown Hibiya to celebrate “UCC Capsule Coffee Day”. The event featured a 5-meter-tall “coffee gacha” machine that provided participants with randomized coffee capsules and snack pairings to encourage the discovery of new flavors.

Later in the month, UCC transitioned to retail promotions, offering discounts on its ‘Shokunin no Kohi’ drip coffee. Specifically, the company promoted a 200-pack set of its ‘Deep Richness Special Blend’ through online sales, utilizing coupons and point return programs to reduce the effective price for consumers.
