We couldn’t be prouder of our permanent penguin, and to say it’s been a hit this year would be an understatement. In addition to recognition at the Shop! ANZ Retail Marketing awards, PRH AU has received positive feedback from retailers who - along with their customers - loved the displays. In 2022, the penguin permanent bookcase not only became an in-store mascot for the PRH AU brand, but it also became a social media star, appearing intermittently on retailer, author, staff and PRH AU TikTok, Facebook and Instagram profiles.
Consumer love for the bookcase was widely expressed as well, with comments pouring in to inquire about purchasing it every time the shelf appeared on PRH socials. In response, PRH AU hosted a?survey competition , offering one shelf as a prize, garnering 50,000 entries. Because the competition was the only way for consumers to access the shelf, the incentive for entry was high and helped build further hype around the iconic bookcase.
Needless to say, the awarded honours are well-deserved! The permanent penguin bookcase has not only taken home two trophies this year, but it’s also won a (permanent) place in the hearts of PRH AU staff and enamoured readers, retailers, and the broader retail industry.??

1 年That's so fantastic! Congratulations! I actually used the Penguin bookshelf in my Book Marketing & Sales class the other night because I thought it was fabulous. Seems I wasn't the only one ??
