2023 proved to be one of the toughest years for the Colombian economy. Inflation soared to its highest level in twenty-three years, consumer confidence plummeted, and spending contracted due to high interest rates and reduced disposable income. To navigate this challenging environment, we made a strategic decision to leverage our greatest asset: Bees, the B2B platform of AbinBev, to reverse negative sales trends. Consequently, we chose to center our campaign around our shopkeepers for the first time, allowing them to experience a taste of the Corona world that we have long promoted to our consumers. Corona has created its own world, defined by beaches, relaxation, paradises, and captivating sunsets. However, this idyllic reality is often experienced solely by consumers, while those responsible for promoting and selling our beer remain distant from this ambiance. Therefore, for the first time, we've prioritized our retailers as the primary channel rather than the last, developing a B2B strategy that engages them and highlights the sunset as our key asset. This initiative gave rise to 'Sunset O' Clock': beginning with Bees, we encouraged all our grocers to identify and promote beers marked with the sunset in their inventory, offering them opportunities to win trips, accommodations, and festival tickets. Through this cost-effective strategy—without altering our product—we launched Corona's most extensive loyalty campaign, impacting over 1 million shopkeepers.
