Amid the much-publicized economic downturn in China, cur- rency woes have also affected European sales. Here, leading producers reveal how they are squaring up to the challenging environment, and how activations and promotions are playing a significant role in their strategies. Chivas holding strong For Chivas Brothers, the overall travel retail market is surging. “Within Chivas Brothers Limited in particular, we are seeing a steady increase in duty free volumes, which have gained four percent- age points in volume market share in 10 years,” says Cristina Carmueja, Customer Marketing Manager at Pernod Ricard Travel Retail Europe. While Asia has slowed notoriously in the past year, the company has continued to maintain its momentum in the region. Earlier this year, Chivas Regal Extra rolled out in Asia travel retail. e new super- premium expression, blended with rare malt aged in sherry casks, launched in key Asian airports throughout the May-July 2015 period. e launch was supported by a new campaign, “Welcome to the Next Level,” which engaged consumers with a luxury airside experience, led by in-store com- parison tasting bars that revealed the differences between Chivas Regal 12 and Chivas Regal Extra. Select airports also featured an interactive game, entitling them to a premium giſt. Additionally, a sherry cask display as well as aroma kit sets sought to bring the whisky’s key flavor notes to life. Marketing innovation continues. At the 2015 TFWA World Exhibition, the Chivas Globe-Trotter partnership, linking to luxury luggage and the ongoing “Made for Gentlemen campaign,” will be a high- light on Pernod Ricard’s convivial stand. Big contributor: The Glenlivet e Glenlivet is now the world’s largest single malt Scotch whisky brand by vol- ume, according to IWSR 2014 figures, and in September 2014, the Pernod Ricard- owned brand passed the 1 million cases per annum milestone. According to Nikki Burgess, e Glenlivet’s Global Brand Director, e Glenlivet has been the biggest contributor to the volume growth of the single malt category worldwide, adding more than any other single malt whisky brand over the last five years. Travel retail has played a major part in this achievement. “e single malt category has been growing consistently across all regions with the travel retail channel, in particular growing above the global category average,” says Burgess. e Glenlivet’s Master Distiller’s Reserve range, introduced in travel retail in July 2015, has been key to the brand’s success. e range has expanded to include two new expressions, Solera Re-energizing Top whisky producers are implementing innovative campaigns to spark sales in the challenging Asian travel retail market the market Chivas Regal Extra rolled out in Asia travel retail throughout the May-July 2015 period.

Described as fun, effort- less and vibrant, each shade and product in the collection was carefully selected by Bobbi Brown to reflect Kate’s play- ful, beach-ready lifestyle in Miami. e collection pairs subtle nudes with pops of color, while nude eyes and bright lips add to the look, which aims to convey Kate’s easy confidence. Here, Kate Upton speaks to Americas Duty Free for our IAADFS issue about her new partnership and her desire to com- municate the message of inner beauty and confidence to other women. How much awareness did you have about beauty products growing up? I was probably 13 when I started wearing makeup. I actually had to wear makeup because I used to show horses. My mom taught me how to apply it, and I would coordinate my makeup with whatever outfit I was wearing—a red lip to show English, or a brown smoky eye to show Western. But my sisters and I would always raid my mom’s makeup bag together. Now my mom says: “You owe me from years of stealing my makeup.” So with this new partnership with the brand, things have worked out in her favor, too. Which product do you swear by? Hydrating Gel Cream. I’m constantly traveling and this moisturizer is the first thing I apply as soon as I get off the airplane. It’s lightweight without feeling greasy, plus it smells amazing. How do you relate to the Bobbi Brown brand? e brand celebrates a woman’s natural beauty and individuality – that’s a message that stands out. It’s a philosophy that speaks directly to me and that I’m proud to represent. How did your collaboration with Bobbi Brown come about? Bobbi asked to meet with me, and she is someone I have always looked up to. I’ve always admired the way Bobbi lives her life—from her exceptional career and healthy lifestyle to her incredible products—so I was excited to meet with her, and once we sat down, it was as if we knew each other already. ere was an instant connection and everything evolved naturally from there. What does your job as a celebrity face of Bobbi Brown entail? Bobbi Brown is all about inner beauty and confidence, and how makeup is meant to be fun—not to create your confidence, just to improve it. at is a message that I can relate to and want to help relay to other women. How do you feel about being one of the first celebrity faces for Bobbi Brown? e opportunity to be the face of Bobbi Brown was incredibly exciting to me. My mother and sister and I all use the products and I grew up using them. Bobbi is an American success story—she created a global brand from an idea that women can be beautiful being exactly who they are, and I love that. How would you describe Bobbi Brown’s Hot Collection? e Hot Nudes Eye Palette from the Hot Collection was actually created for me. We were on set and I told her I really like the Creamy Concealer Kit because it has powder and concealer in the same kit. Bobbi knows I’m all about convenience. So that’s what she did for me, she put all the nude shadow shades I love in the same palette. What is your favorite Bobbi Brown item? Smokey Eye Mascara. I love the formula, I love the brush. You don’t have to put a thousand coats on. It immediately gives you the look of a smoky eye without actually having to create one with eye shadows and liners. Bobbi has some long-wear products coming out this year. Do you ever use long-wear formulas? I should because I’m not a touch- up person. It would be great when I’m on the beach in Florida, where it’s so humid. Although I usually just do sunblock and moisturizer. If you had to pack a weekend bag for the summer, what would be in it? Sunblock, face mist, lip balm, moisturizer, a lip color, mascara, and sunglasses. I love a shade. Last year I was all about Ray-Bans and now I’m a bit about oversized. But I feel like I’m going to transition back to Ray-Bans. ew Smokey Eye Mascara gives you the look of a smoky eye quickly and easily The Hot Nudes Eye Palette from the Hot Collection Kate Upton swears by Bobbi Brown’s Hydrating Gel Cream moisturizer after an airplane journey The Creamy Concealer Kit has powder and concealer in the same kit ERICAS DUTY FREE & TRAVEL RETAILING OCTOBER 2015 elry brand ndon has a strong ence, and the are no exception, ales Director nce in the Americas y robust growth and nded distribution to all travel retail channels gion, notes ompson. has always had a strong d airlines, but he is espe- ith recent results in mari- y airport locations from hile, as well as its border ition, IBBI, agent to Buckley strengthened its sales force es reps, covering Canada to rica, and this has been strategic nd service more doors. he company is preparing to s recently revamped collections 015 TFWA World Exhibition in Cannes. “We are extremely excited to be exhibiting at the TFWA World Exhibi- tion,” enthuses omp- son. “is will be the first exhibition we have attended since announc- ing the refresh of the brand and opening up products to a broader target audience, with the introduction of sleeker and more modern profiles. Cus- tomers can expect to sense the new look and strong design direction.” Buckley London designs all of its prod- ucts in-house at its UK head office and adapts trends to fit the needs of its global customers. Each new collection involves a detailed development process, including months of trend analysis, and ensuring each piece meets its high quality stan- dards. e company offers an extensive mix of products, from trend-led fashion pieces to contemporary classics, and a broad range of price points are used to cater for all customers. In addition, it offers both self-select and under-the-counter display options, allowing the brand to create a different feel, depending on the area it is displayed. Turning to new product developments, the company has unveiled four collections which feature trends of organic shapes, tonal crystals and natural gems. e Aura collection draws inspira- tion from the vivid color of the Northern Lights with smoky tones of grey lip shell beneath chequerboard glass; the Selene Collection takes its name from the god- dess of the moon in Greek mythology, as each mother-of-pearl slice is under a glass cabochon, resembling the frosted shimmer of the moonlight; the Capri Collection features scatterings of tonal pave-set stones which complement the rose-gold plating; and the Affinity Col- lection symbolizes the power of eternal bonds through delicate circles made from sparkling cubic zirconia accents. e company has also capitalized on the stacking trend with four new “fast-fashion” collections. e wearer can choose from the glass bead Carousel Col- lection, or the Serenity Collection, which uses semi-precious gemstones known for their healing energy. e modern styles of the mesh-inspired X O Collection and the polished bead Simplicity Collection allow for stacking mixed platings high. Buckley London is sure it is on the right track with these developments, having held focus groups in the UK and the Americas. “It reinforced views that Buckley London provides fun, everyday style, whilst remaining true to our British heritage. We also learned that our prod- ucts are great giſtable items due to our branded packaging.” “We expect a great end to 2015 and are on track for an even stronger 2016, given our new partnerships, new collec- tions and global marketing plans,” he concludes.

In fact, alcohol has oſten been referred to as a “recession-proof” business: people drink to celebrate when they’re flush and drink to drown their sorrows when they’re poor. While not completely accurate, few industries do as well in down times, and this has been a good thing for liquor companies in the Americas over the past few years. In 2008, the year of the recession and then economic crash in the US, sales of alcohol in the country jumped 9%. In 2015 the US is on top whereas Brazil, which had been riding high, has now not only dropped into a recession, but its currency has plummeted. is does little to stem the flow of liquor in that country, however. According to the IWSR, sales of both wine and spirits grew globally from 2009 to 2014, but the growth of spirits far outpaced that of wine, which remained relatively flat. Spirits sales, on the contrary, grew from just over 15 billion 9-liter cases to nearly 23 billion cases in that timeframe. However, in 2014 global sales of both spirits and wines went into decline, spirits by 0.1% and wine by 1.1%.

Also in the Arrivals area, an even more spec-

tacular sight awaited travelers as the bar/

restaurant operated by HMSHost was trans-

formed into a Grey Goose bar and restaurant.

As well as having the opportunity to enjoy a

LIFESTYLE: FASHION OVERVIEW

It’s boom-time for travel retail fashion sales across the

Middle East and Asia, driven by the voracious appetite for

trends among Chinese outbound travelers. Operators are

adding retail space at a clip to cater for the category’s popu-

larity – and sales are surging.

According to Saba Tahir, Vice President—Purchasing, fashion

sales at Dubai Duty Free, sales jumped by 34% compared to

the same period of last year, mainly spurred by the new brands

introduced in Concourse A—a different presentation than usual.

Even though Concourse A opened early 2013, it was only mid-

2014 when the whole fashion area was complete, namely with the

opening of Chanel and Hermès. “This has had a welcome and

positive upswing on sales,” says Tahir.

Has the fashion category now reached its potential? “Cer-

tainly not for Dubai Duty Free,” Tahir says, “and we see a lot

of potential to grow the fashion categories in the future, space

permitting. We can see more and more categories having fashion

elements—technology, for instance, is a perfect example. Fashion

evolves continuously and very quickly and in order to maximize

its potential, we need to be ready to embrace required changes at

any given time.

“The new fashion concept in Concourse A, where the brands

like Chanel, Hermès, Gucci and Salvatore Ferragamo are show-

cased in a different environment, is a way of adapting to changes

required at this time and making the most of what we can do for

this category.”

Catering to different requirements

In terms of buying, fashion is dictated by the trends and there-

fore Dubai Duty Free must ensure that the key items for each

collection are in its assortment, says Tahir, while the profile of its

customers dictates the specific requirements when it comes to

size, shape, color, etc. “As much as we cater to the international

market, we need to be diverse when it comes to product assort-

ment to ensure that we cater to different requirements,” he adds.

“However, we still have to be mindful of the fact that when it

comes to ready-to-wear, customers will still be drawn to basics

and safe styles and designs. Trying to strike a balance between

being true to the ethos of a brand and buying more safe and

conservative can be difficult and one we find challenging when

going to do orders!”

Dubai Duty Free’s top 10 fashion/lifestyle products overall are

bags, wallets, small leather goods, scarves, ties, belts, sunglasses,

jewelry, men’s polo shirts, and men’s shirts.

ASIA WHISKY REPORT

It’s a trying time for suppliers of

whisky to the Asian travel retail

market. Amid the much-publicized

economic downturn in China, cur-

rency woes have also affected European

sales. Here, leading producers reveal how

they are squaring up to the challenging

environment, and how activations and

promotions are playing a significant role

in their strategies.

Chivas holding strong

For Chivas Brothers, the overall travel

retail market is surging. “Within Chivas

Brothers Limited in particular, we are

seeing a steady increase in duty free

volumes, which have gained four percent-

age points in volume market share in 10

years,” says Cristina Carmueja, Customer

Marketing Manager at Pernod Ricard

Travel Retail Europe.

While Asia has slowed notoriously in

the past year, the company has continued

to maintain its momentum in the region.

Earlier this year, Chivas Regal Extra rolled

out in Asia travel retail. The new super-

premium expression, blended with rare

malt aged in sherry casks, launched in key

Asian airports throughout the May-July

2015 period.

The launch was supported by a new

campaign, “Welcome to the Next Level,”

which engaged consumers with a luxury

airside experience, led by in-store com-

parison tasting bars that revealed the

differences between Chivas Regal 12 and

Chivas Regal Extra. Select airports also

featured an interactive game, entitling

them to a premium gift. Additionally,

a sherry cask display as well as aroma

kit sets sought to bring the whisky’s key

flavor notes to life.

Marketing innovation continues. At

the 2015 TFWA World Exhibition, the

Chivas Globe-Trotter partnership, linking

to luxury luggage and the ongoing “Made

for Gentlemen campaign,” will be a high-

light on Pernod Ricard’s convivial stand.

Big contributor: The Glenlivet

The Glenlivet is now the world’s largest

single malt Scotch whisky brand by vol-

ume, according to IWSR 2014 figures, and

in September 2014, the Pernod Ricard-

owned brand passed the 1 million cases

per annum milestone.

According to Nikki Burgess, The

Glenlivet’s Global Brand Director, The

Glenlivet has been the biggest contributor

to the volume growth of the single malt

category worldwide, adding more than

any other single malt whisky brand over

the last five years.

Travel retail has played a major part

in this achievement. “The single malt

category has been growing consistently

across all regions with the travel retail

channel, in particular growing above the

global category average,” says Burgess.

The Glenlivet’s Master Distiller’s

Reserve range, introduced in travel

retail in July 2015, has been key to the

brand’s success. The range has expanded

to include two new expressions, Solera

RETAILER NEWS: ARI NORTH AMERICA

The oldest duty free retailer in the world, Aer Rianta

International (ARI) invented the concept of duty free

when it opened its first store in Shannon, Ireland in

1947. The company now operates in nine countries

around the world, opening its most recent store in Montréal-

Trudeau airport in April, 2014. This new store contributed in no

small part to an especially successful year for the global company,

adding to sales that were strong at all locations.

The new Montréal store is trading under The Loop retail

brand, which has been very successful in Ireland. If this location

is any indication, the brand also works well outside its native

country. The new space, which has expanded from 1,115 to 1,220

square meters, is designed as a partial walk-through. In line with

the fact that Beauty is the store’s best-selling category, the P&C

area has expanded to 360 square meters, a 35% increase in floor

space. The company also increased the number of whiskies on

offer, improving selection in its second-biggest category.

“Our core categories in Montréal are Beauty, Liquor, Tobacco,

Confectionery and Souvenirs,” says Seamus Holmes, General

Manager of Canadian Operations. “We also opened a stand-

alone Oakley store and a separate outlet for Watches, Jewellery,

Sunglasses and Fashion. Beauty is our largest category overall

and most importantly our fastest growing category, but we

have noted the trend towards growth in Lifestyle. Our stand-

alone Oakley store is performing well. In addition, we recently

introduced the Pandora brand. The initial launch has been very

American model and actress

Kate Upton has partnered

with Bobbi Brown Cosmet-

ics as the brand’s second

celebrity face following their first‐ever

celebrity spokesperson, actress

Katie Holmes.

The new collaboration has resulted

in the Hot Collection of color cosmet-

ics, inspired by Kate Upton’s hometown

in Florida, which will be on-counter in

Americas duty free and travel retail in

March 2015. Described as fun, effort-

less and vibrant, each shade and product

in the collection was carefully selected

by Bobbi Brown to reflect Kate’s play-

ful, beach-ready lifestyle in Miami. The

collection pairs subtle nudes with pops of

color, while nude eyes and bright lips add

to the look, which aims to convey Kate’s

easy confidence.

Here, Kate Upton speaks to Americas

Duty Free for our IAADFS issue about her

new partnership and her desire to com-

municate the message of inner beauty and

confidence to other women.

How much awareness did you have

about beauty products growing up?

I was probably 13 when I started

wearing makeup. I actually had to

wear makeup because I used to show

horses. My mom taught me how to apply

it, and I would coordinate my makeup

with whatever outfit I was wearing—a red

lip to show English, or a brown smoky eye

to show Western. But my sisters and I

would always raid my mom’s makeup bag

together. Now my mom says: “You owe

me from years of stealing my makeup.” So

with this new partnership with the brand,

things have worked out in her favor, too.

Which product do you swear by?

Hydrating Gel Cream. I’m constantly

traveling and this moisturizer is the

first thing I apply as soon as I get off the

airplane. It’s lightweight without feeling

greasy, plus it smells amazing.

How do you relate to the

Bobbi Brown brand?

The brand celebrates a woman’s

natural beauty and individuality –

that’s a message that stands out. It’s a

philosophy that speaks directly to me

and that I’m proud to represent.

How did your collaboration

with Bobbi Brown come about?

Bobbi asked to meet with me, and

she is someone I have always looked

up to. I’ve always admired the way Bobbi

lives her life—from her exceptional career

and healthy lifestyle to her incredible

products—so I was excited to meet with

her, and once we sat down, it was as if we

knew each other already. There was an

instant connection and everything

evolved naturally from there.

What does your job as a celebrity

face of Bobbi Brown entail?

Bobbi Brown is all about inner

beauty and confidence, and how

makeup is meant to be fun—not to create

your confidence, just to improve it. That is

a message that I can relate to and want to

help relay to other women.

How do you feel about being one of the

first celebrity faces for Bobbi Brown?

The opportunity to be the face of

Bobbi Brown was incredibly exciting

to me. My mother and sister and I all use

the products and I grew up using them.

Bobbi is an American success story—she

created a global brand from an idea that

women can be beautiful being exactly

who they are, and I love that.

How would you describe Bobbi

Brown’s Hot Collection?

The Hot Nudes Eye Palette from the

Hot Collection was actually created

for me. We were on set and I told her

I really like the Creamy Concealer Kit

because it has powder and concealer in

the same kit. Bobbi knows I’m all about

convenience. So that’s what she did for

me, she put all the nude shadow shades

I love in the same palette.

What is your favorite Bobbi

Brown item?

Smokey Eye Mascara. I love the

formula, I love the brush. You don’t

have to put a thousand coats on. It

immediately gives you the look of a

smoky eye without actually having to

create one with eye shadows and liners.

Bobbi has some long-wear products

coming out this year. Do you ever

use long-wear formulas?

I should because I’m not a touch-

up person. It would be great when

I’m on the beach in Florida, where it’s

so humid. Although I usually just do

sunblock and moisturizer.

If you had to pack a weekend bag

for the summer, what would be in it?

Sunblock, face mist, lip balm,

moisturizer, a lip color, mascara,

and sunglasses. I love a shade. Last year

I was all about Ray-Bans and now I’m a

bit about oversized. But I feel like I’m

going to transition back to Ray-Bans.

Smokey Eye Mascara gives you the

look of a smoky eye quickly and easily

JEWELRY: BUCKLEY LONDON

UK-based jewelry brand

Buckley London has a strong

global presence, and the

Americas are no exception,

according to Global Sales Director

Neil Thompson.

The brand’s presence in the Americas

has seen particularly robust growth and

since 2012 has expanded distribution to

over 100 doors, in all travel retail channels

throughout the region, notes Thompson.

The company has always had a strong

foothold onboard airlines, but he is espe-

cially pleased with recent results in mari-

time and in key airport locations from

Montreal to Chile, as well as its border

doors. In addition, IBBI, agent to Buckley

London, has strengthened its sales force

to seven sales reps, covering Canada to

Latin America, and this has been strategic

to reach and service more doors.

Now the company is preparing to

unveil its recently revamped collections

at the 2015 TFWA World Exhibition

in Cannes. “We are

extremely excited to

be exhibiting at the

TFWA World Exhibi-

tion,” enthuses Thomp-

son. “This will be the

first exhibition we have

attended since announc-

ing the refresh of the

brand and opening up

products to a broader target

audience, with the introduction of

sleeker and more modern profiles. Cus-

tomers can expect to sense the new look

and strong design direction.”

Buckley London designs all of its prod-

ucts in-house at its UK head office and

adapts trends to fit the needs of its global

customers. Each new collection involves a

detailed development process, including

months of trend analysis, and ensuring

each piece meets its high quality stan-

dards. The company offers an extensive

mix of products, from trend-led fashion

pieces to contemporary classics, and a

broad range of price points are used to

cater for all customers.

In addition, it offers both self-select

and under-the-counter display options,

allowing the brand to create a different

feel, depending on the area it is displayed.

Turning to new product developments,

the company has unveiled four collections

which feature trends of organic shapes,

tonal crystals and natural gems.

The Aura collection draws inspira-

tion from the vivid color of the Northern

Lights with smoky tones of grey lip shell

beneath chequerboard glass; the Selene

Collection takes its name from the god-

dess of the moon in Greek mythology,

as each mother-of-pearl slice is under a

glass cabochon, resembling the frosted

shimmer of the moonlight; the Capri

Collection features scatterings of tonal

pave-set stones which complement the

rose-gold plating; and the Affinity Col-

lection symbolizes the power of eternal

bonds through delicate circles made from

sparkling cubic zirconia accents.

The company has also capitalized

on the stacking trend with four new

“fast-fashion” collections. The wearer can

choose from the glass bead Carousel Col-

lection, or the Serenity Collection, which

uses semi-precious gemstones known for

their healing energy. The modern styles of

the mesh-inspired X O ♥ Collection and

the polished bead Simplicity Collection

allow for stacking mixed platings high.

Buckley London is sure it is on the

right track with these developments,

having held focus groups in the UK and

the Americas. “It reinforced views that

Buckley London provides fun, everyday

style, whilst remaining true to our British

heritage. We also learned that our prod-

ucts are great giftable items due to our

branded packaging.”

“We expect a great end to 2015 and

are on track for an even stronger 2016,

given our new partnerships, new collec-

tions and global marketing plans,”

he concludes.

FASHION FILES: LAGARDÈRE TRAVEL RETAIL UK & IRELAND

Lagardère Travel Retail UK & Ireland recently

announced the opening of The Fashion Place at

Glasgow Airport. The store is a pilot of the concept but

more openings are already planned for Seville in Janu-

ary 2016 and Nice in March 2016.

Mélanie Musso, International Retail Brand Manager, Duty

Free Global, Lagardère Travel Retail, tells us that fashion has

been a focus for the company worldwide for some time now

since a significant portion of the growth that duty free has

experienced of late has come from the category. “Fashion also

represents an opportunity for us to grow our own business,”

Musso explains.

Of course, Lagardère Travel Retail knows a thing or two about

fashion, with the operator’s multi-brand concept, The Fashion

Gallery, currently in place in Singapore, Madrid and Warsaw

airports. Fashion and accessories are performing extremely well

across Lagardère Travel Retail’s global network, with Musso

calling it the operator’s “main lever of business growth,” with a

turnover evolution at +21% in 2014 versus 2013. A clear indica-

tion of the importance of fashion to Lagardère Travel Retail’s

bottom line is the fact that in 2014, 41 boutiques were opened; a

further 57 are planned for 2015.

“The fashion business is definitively becoming an important

category in travel retail,” Musso explains. “For instance, our fash-

ion portfolio now represents 16% of our global business. Fashion

purchases in travel retail are at 75% impulse, yet passengers

are more likely to yield to accessories and jewelry offers. The

positioning of The Fashion Place Glasgow offer has been defined

based on the airport and passengers research we performed.”

CARIBBEAN TOURISM REPORT

There’s no denying that a market like leisure tourism

is inextricably linked to peaks and valleys in major

worldwide economies. Given poor economic indica-

tors in the US and Europe over the last few years that

resulted in would-be tourists having less disposable income, the

tourism industry in the Caribbean has had a tough go of it.

Nonetheless, travel to the region is starting to pick up, and

Winfield Griffith, Director of Research & IT at the Caribbean

Tourism Organisation, says that the signs were evident near the

end of 2014.

“Leisure travel is displaying steady demand again as the

economies in the main markets continue to show signs of resur-

gence, although these signs vary from weak to moderate at best,”

he explains. “This heightened demand significantly benefited the

Caribbean [in 2014] and is clearly evident in the fact that visitors

are coming in larger numbers such that growth rates in arrivals

were higher than expected last year. The growth rate of 5.3% in

tourist arrivals was among the best at the regional and sub-

regional levels worldwide.”

Furthermore, an analysis of data provided by Smith Travel

Research, a US company that tracks overall performance of the

hotel sector, reveals that Caribbean hotels earned more revenue

last year than in 2013. Room occupancy rates also improved

slightly, and revenue per available room was up 5.7%.

More good news is that this increase in travel wasn’t just a blip

SPIRITS TRENDS: THE FUTURE OF SPIRITS

Economies go up and down, but the desire for liquor

remains. In fact, alcohol has often been referred

to as a “recession-proof ” business: people drink to

celebrate when they’re flush and drink to drown their

sorrows when they’re poor. While not completely accurate, few

industries do as well in down times, and this has been a good

thing for liquor companies in the Americas over the past few

years. In 2008, the year of the recession and then economic crash

in the US, sales of alcohol in the country jumped 9%. In 2015

the US is on top whereas Brazil, which had been riding high,

has now not only dropped into a recession, but its currency has

plummeted. This does little to stem the flow of liquor in that

country, however.

According to the IWSR, sales of both wine and spirits grew

globally from 2009 to 2014, but the growth of spirits far outpaced

that of wine, which remained relatively flat. Spirits sales, on the

contrary, grew from just over 15 billion 9-liter cases to nearly 23

billion cases in that timeframe. However, in 2014 global sales of

both spirits and wines went into decline, spirits by 0.1% and wine

by 1.1%. While imported spirits remained on a growth trajectory

in the Americas, this was at a slower rate than in 2013. Home-

grown favorites American whiskey and tequila both did well, but

in Brazil cachaça sales dropped.

The premiumization trend

The spirits trend globally continues to be premiumization,

although as with liquor sales in general there are pockets where

this is not the case. This trend continues in duty free in Argentina

and Brazil despite economic troubles and volatile currency; The

Economist, meanwhile, reports that Brazil remains a top global

market for premium spirits. Across the border in Argentina,

Maggie Ducos, Commercial Director of London Supply, says

a big trend over the past year has been increased spend. “The

major change I saw was that customers put more into their shop-

ping basket,” she says. “They made sure to include luxury items

alongside the bestsellers, tending to add value with luxury acces-

sories and more exclusive whisky, increasing the average ticket.”

Whiskey still growing

Sales of American whiskey have grown throughout the globe,

and the Americas region is no exception. Brown-Forman’s Jack

Daniel’s grew globally by 6% in 2014, and 7% in markets outside

the US. Brazil and Global Travel Retail were both mentioned in

the company’s annual report as notable growth drivers.

Jack Daniel’s Tennessee Honey saw great success, with global

underlying net sales growth of 28% globally, with net sales out-

side of the US jumping 55%. Other members of Brown-Forman’s

portfolio of super- and ultra-premium whiskeys have also grown

IMPERIAL TOBACCO

In 2014, Imperial Tobacco created

a transformational new look and

focus for its stand at TFWA WE in

Cannes, incorporating the travel

retail business and the Global Duty Free

department forming the new Global

Travel Retail unit. This year will see a step

up in its new direction.

Imperial Tobacco’s stand at Gold GO6

is completely new. It will express a cor-

porate feel with a modern, futuristic look

that will take visitors through a journey of

discovery about Imperial Tobacco Group

(ITG), its brands and key facts about the

tobacco history and business as the com-

pany moves into its theme: “Experience

and Evolution.”

“We will highlight to our customers

that ITG has huge experience and knowl-

edge of the global travel retail industry

whilst, at the same time, is ready to evolve

and be prepared for the future,” says

Andreas Lemke, General Manager Global

Travel Retail. “We are a company with

a wide brand portfolio that completely

understands its customers and the market

in which we operate. The nice part of it is

that our customers have been partners in

that evolution through the years and they

will recognize our past whilst creating the

future with us.

“ITG’s emphasis is to follow key trav-

eling nationalities with their key brands,

namely Davidoff, Lambert & Butler and

Gauloises. By connecting directly with

the consumer and then keeping in touch

throughout the consumer`s journey we

can measure our achievement in terms of

maintaining brand loyalty or switching

from a competitive brand to one of ours.”

says Lemke.

In Cannes, ITG will be talking to its

customers along these lines, aligning

activations and promotions with brands

relevant to traveling nationalities. Dav-

idoff Cigarettes, Imperial Tobacco’s luxury

global cigarette brand, remains the key

focus for ITG.

Earlier this year at TFWA Asia Pacific,

ITG announced its “For the Hunters”

campaign, which launched in the Gulf

region. The campaign’s aim is to rejuve-

nate Davidoff Cigarettes with a modern

and fresh edge, Intending to strike a

nerve with Davidoff ’s target market

group by highlight specific attitudes and

the mentality that appeal to them. The

campaign has been supported by impres-

sive visuals that highlight the strength and

style of the brand, based around three key

descriptives: “For those who know when

to strike,” “For those who own the game”

and “For those that set the pace.”

In Cannes ITG will continuing to

roll out its “For The Hunters” marketing

campaign, alongside regional product

launches and new campaigns for Gaulo-

ises and Lambert & Butler.

At TFWA Imperial Tobacco

will advance its Global Travel

Retail unit as it continues to roll

out its “For the Hunters” and

other marketing campaigns

20 LIFESTYLE ISSUE OCTOBER 2015

RETAILER NEWS: QATAR DUTY FREE

In just over a year, Qatar Duty Free has shot to the top of

the fashion retail charts with its impressive assortment of

mid-range and high-end brands targeting the diverse pas-

senger mix at Hamad International Airport (HIA) in Doha.

From the understated Italian chic of Giorgio Armani to the

vibrant Arabia-inspired T-shirt designs from local brand Fanilla

Couture, the retailer is going after both the dedicated fashionista

and the casual shopper.

Keith Hunter, Senior Vice President, Qatar Duty Free, is keen

to stress the retailer’s distinctive approach to the fashion category,

choosing to work with both established and niche brands that are

new to the airport environment.

“We are delighted with the reaction that we have had to our

unique mix of mid-range and high-end fashion and lifestyle

brands which we have brought to HIA,” he enthuses. “Most

notably our own concept multi-brand stores that were designed

and executed entirely by our in-house team have been perform-

ing extremely well. We took a risk by introducing brands and

concepts that are not traditionally associated with travel retail or

airports and it has really paid off.

“Our bespoke boutiques such as Esquire, a one-stop shop

for every man’s sartorial needs, or The Boulevard, which was

designed to meet the requirements of today’s fashion-conscious

travelers, have found an appreciative audience at HIA. Junction,

with its trendy mix of male and female urban brands such as

Desigual and Diesel, has also been a big hit with travelers.”

At the upper end of the market, Qatar Duty Free has an

avenue of luxury boutiques, which includes brands such as

Hermès, Ferragamo, Giorgio Armani, Tiffany & Co, Rolex, Hugo

Boss, Coach, Burberry and Michael Kors, which is also a popular

destination for fashion-savvy travelers.

sales were fairly flat in 2013 but in 2014 they fell. The crackdown

on conspicuous consumption affected sales in China, and sales

fell drastically throughout that region. Despite the industry’s

reputation as being “recession proof,” sales dropped drastically in

the economically troubled Venezuela.

Brazil is one of the biggest global markets for spirits, a strong

market for Scotch whisky, and its coastal city of Recife is believed

to have the highest per capita consumption of Scotch whisky in

the world. According to the Scotch Whisky Association, whisky

is now the UK’s sixth largest export to Brazil. In 2014, however,

while volumes remained the same, value dropped, suggesting

that the economic situation there, too, has affected consumer

purchasing. Despite positive economic conditions, sales of Scotch

whisky in the US, which had increased 8% in 2013, dropped

back down 9% in 2014, bringing figures back approximately to

the same levels as in 2012. Mexico showed the one shining light

in the region. The volume of Scotch whisky sold in the country

increased 5% in 2014 after increasing 20% in 2013. However,

value still dropped 10%.

Vodka remains flat

Despite being the largest global category, vodka sales have been

quite flat for the past few years. In 2013 the category’s growth

barely reached above zero. Until recently flavored vodka was

leading what growth there was, but flavored vodka sales have

now also dropped; some companies have begun to narrow their

flavor range or commit to offering more traditional, natural

flavors.

An example of this is La Martiniquaise’s Poliakov vodka. The

brand underwent a flavor makeover last year, upgrading its clas-

sic flavors using exclusively natural ingredients. Nadege Perrot,

Poliakov Brand Manager, says “flavor fatigue” was the reason for

the change in the brand’s range, which now includes Strawberry,

Caramel, Peach, Cranberry, Green Apple, Mandarin and Lemon.

Perrot has big expectations for the coming year. While this top-

selling brand’s main strongholds are in Europe, Oceania and the

Middle East, it is looking for expansion in the Americas.

All is not lost, however. Sales of unflavored vodka picked up

last year, and the spirit is still becoming more popular in Brazil.

That country’s vodka sales are expected to continue growing over

the next few years, according to IWSR.

in the double digits, and often high double digits. For example,

the Woodford Reserve family grew 32%.

American whiskey is not the only winner in the brown spirits

category. Irish whiskey has been on a massive upswing, with sales

in America quadrupling since 2002 and increasing by 22.5% last

year alone. High-end Canadian whiskies such as Brown-For-

man’s Collingwood are also on a growth trajectory.

Scotch whisky has not had the same good fortune. Global
