What is Generous Store?
In February 2012, chocolatier Anthon Berg set up a one-day pop up
store in downtown Copenhagen, where people could pay for chocolates
with "good deeds" thereby inspiring a sweet movement of kindness.

Paying with good deeds
People chose from 30 different kinds of deeds. 'Price' tags included
“help clean your friend’s house,' “serve breakfast in bed to your loved
one,’ and 'Don't comment on your girlfriend's driving for a week.'

‘You can never be too generous'
Anthon Berg has stood for generosity and high quality chocolate since
1884. The Generous Store was launched to re-establish these values,
rejuvenate the brand, and help it stand out in the minds of consumers.

The strategy was to use this campaign as a vehicle to ignite a spark that
would turn a single day pop-up shop into massive buzz and international PR
rejuvenating the Anthon Berg brand.

Response at the store
Designed to attract attention, the pop-up store stood out with pink
branding and a pink entrance area. 100,000 people saw the store as
they passed by, and people queued up for 1.5 hours just to get in.

Generosity begins before you enter
In the true spirit of generosity, Anthon Berg staff handed out chocolate to
the crowds outside the store, a tradition that began in 1884 with the first
Anthon Berg store and Mr. Anthon Berg himself.

Coverage in local and international blogs
PR efforts, on-ground hype and social media activity ensured coverage
in local Danish news sites, and popularity of the idea helped spread it
across the web, with mentions in more than 1,000 blogs and websites.

The Danish chocolatier managed to reinforce its leading statement – by
inspiring people to be more generous the company has created a happier
society, and the brand’s popularity has been reestablished.

Impact on bottom line
Sales figures for February put to rest concerns that the 'feel-good'
campaign was impractical and did not justify costs. Sales increased
12% compared to the same month last year.
