Blackstone Promos

Promotional marketing agency 70% of buying decisions are made at the shelf.

We activate your brand where the choice actually happens — in-store, or straight in front of the shopper. Turnkey promotions, with mechanics and incentives that work, and results you can measure.

The problem with in-store promotions

Why you need a specialist promotions agency, with 30-plus years behind it.

70% of buying decisions are made at the shelf. Yet most brands keep pouring budget into places where the shopper only scrolls. Here are the problems we see every single week — and how we fix them.

You're paying retail for incentives when you could be getting wholesale prices.

How we handle it

We buy direct from manufacturers and distributors at wholesale volume rates. The end consumer gets a gift a cut above anything they'd spot on the shelf — more perceived quality for the same budget. We're not sellers of generic branded freebies: we hunt down original products that add real value to your brand.

Your in-house team ends up running the promo instead of doing their actual job.

How we handle it

You outsource the entire tactical operation without losing sight of it. Your marketing team focuses on strategy and product — not on chasing printers, calculating tax rates or firefighting day-to-day incidents. We report in real time, so you keep control without carrying the operational load.

You handle the terms, the notary and data protection... with all the risk on you.

How we handle it

Full legal terms drafted by our own team. Data-protection compliance, ONLAE gaming regulations, prize taxes, notarial deeds, certified prize draws. Every legal angle locked down before the campaign ever reaches the market.

One promotion. Three suppliers. Nobody to blame when it falls apart.

How we handle it

One turnkey point of contact. We run strategy, creative, production, legal, fulfilment and customer care. You approve, we deliver. Less coordination cost, and no cracks to fall through between suppliers.

You're running in-store builds with no direct line to the retailer.

How we handle it

We've worked for years with the major chains (Carrefour, El Corte Inglés, Eroski, Alcampo and regional supermarkets). We're on their supplier platforms and we know their internal POS-approval processes inside out. Your in-store builds go live first time, with no delays waiting on retailer sign-off.

Your brand is losing shelf visibility to the competition.

How we handle it

Design and production of high-impact POS materials. Built to stand out on the shelf: vinyls, display stands, banners, promotional kits. Plus brand ambassadors and in-store staff to sharpen the impact whenever the mechanic calls for it.

The gifts show up late and the complaint lands on your desk.

How we handle it

A dedicated customer-care team for the whole campaign, with full traceability on every prize sent. The consumer always knows where their gift is, gets an answer in under 24h, and we settle incidents before they escalate. Your brand never shows up in a complaint thread.

The final report lands late, with metrics that tell you nothing.

How we handle it

Our own platform, with KPIs in real time. Your brand watches the campaign unfold live: entries, conversions, geolocated impact, estimated ROI. And a final report built on data you can act on — not pretty words.

What in-store and consumer promotions do for you

What are promotional and incentive campaigns actually for?

Nine business levers we pull with in-store campaigns. Your brand picks the goal, we build the mechanic.

Drive your sales over a defined window.

Reposition your brand and build awareness.

Launch new products into the market and make them land.

Reinforce the presence of existing products.

Trigger product trial or repeat purchase.

Clear and offload surplus stock.

Take the spotlight off price.

Win channel support and fire up your sales team.

Boost and widen your distribution.

Where it works

Four channels where promotional marketing moves the numbers.

Every channel calls for a different mechanic. We design the right move for your business goal.

Consumer activations

Sampling, prize draws and in-store mechanics that spark product trial, build brand awareness and get products moving off the shelf. Your brand connects with the shopper at the exact moment they decide.

Trade Marketing

We grow sell-in with retail and sharpen your position on the shelf. Sales arguments for the distributor, standout POS and trade-marketing mechanics that lock in coverage when you launch something new.

Channel incentives

Incentives for the distribution channel, HORECA and recommenders, so they push your brand. We lift sell-out, average basket and purchase frequency, strengthening your recommendation against the competition.

Employee incentives

Sales-incentive programmes to motivate your salesforce. Gamification mechanics and sector-based rewards that move commercial KPIs and send target attainment through the roof.

Promotional marketing work

Big brands that trusted us with their campaigns.

Shelf promotions, notarised prize draws and in-store activations that have moved real numbers for leading FMCG brands.

Data-protection compliance, ONLAE gaming regulations, prize taxes, notarial deeds, certified prize draws. Full legal cover included.

24/7
Real-time KPIs

On results

Brand visibility and measurable sales lifts in every campaign we run.

And there's more... pharmacy promotions

If you sell through pharmacies, we've got something nobody else has.

Our own software, one of a kind in Spain, built to reward pharmacy assistants and pharmacists for selling your product. The pharmacy is where the sale is decided for many OTC and dermocosmetics products — and it's the line between the pharmacist recommending your brand or the competition's.

We set up the incentive mechanic, onboard the pharmacy network, train the channel and report sales and participation in real time. A motivated pharmacist is the best salesperson your brand has.
