Everyone loves a snack, but some get more than others. As the newest brands study from Consumer Gap revealed, usage of snacks depends on income (76% high-income earners buy snacks, compared to 58% of the lower-income group). In this category, the leading brands are Tropical Heat, Krackles and Urban Bites. Curiously, these brands depend on instore merchandising and displays to create awareness – and less on TV. Supermarkets have become snack palaces, it appears.

While digital channels are the trend, trusted TV advertising remains a powerful way for brands to reach shoppers and build heritage. As the newest brands survey from Consumer Gap found, most product categories rely on TV to connect with consumers. Even more, the largest usage brands are universally TV advertisers: Colgate, Weetabix and Geisha included. So while eyeballs and attention keep shifting online, TV still has a solid fanbase. Change is coming, but not yet.

High-Income Shoppers are Big on beauty
We all buy the same things, but rich shoppers spend more on beauty. As the newest brand study from Consumer Gap revealed, lotions, deodorants, and hair care were purchased by 94%, 80% and 82% respectively of high-income shoppers. This contrasted with 84%, 62% and 62% for lower income buyers. Of the brands preferred, Nivea was the leader followed by Dark & Lovely. Is there any chance the mass market will imitate the higher-income beauty behavior?

OH, HAIL THE NEW KING OF DAZZLE.
If the latest brand study from Consumer Gap is anything to go by, Ariel East Africa - which only recently went by “Omo ya Ariel” - is Kenya’s bestselling detergent. And poor old Omo - no longer new or blue - comes a poor third. You could safely say that Omo is no longer the Colgate of detergents.

Managing digital expectations, such as prompt response to customer inquiries, is crucial to ensure customer satisfaction. This is especially important in today's world where customer experience encompasses all digital aspects. Therefore, companies must consider the digital component when thinking about customer experience.

The Carrefour chain in Kenya has been upscaling its online shopping post-Covid, owing to the spike in demand for the service during the pandemic. From observation, the Covid-19 pandemic led to a rapid transition from physical to digital experiences. However, in 2022, consumers started returning to their traditional physical experiences, indicating a shift back towards a more balanced approach. Looking ahead, it is expected that the physical representation of brands will remain significant. Brands that succeed will be those that prioritize creating seamless and intentional moments that connect both the physical and digital experiences.

Kenya's dynamic cultural scene is inspiring innovation in marketing across various fields, with brands producing creative and engaging marketing campaigns that use unique cultural edges such as street art to music videos. In February 2023, Oppo exemplified this trend by producing a full song for their latest smartphone, the OPPO Reno 8T. The song, titled "OPPO Reno8T", features popular artists such as W***y Paul, Nadia Mukami, and Nameless. This strategic move by Oppo effectively capitalized on Kenya's rich cultural heritage through music, resulting in a captivating campaign that resonated with its target audience.
