🌧️💄flaconi is looking forward to the rainy autumn days! Why? Together with wetter.com GmbH and METEONOMIQS powered by wetter.com, they analyzed weather data. Our two portfolio companies thereby found out how strongly the weather influences the shopping behavior of flaconi’s customers. 💡 The results are striking: • There are more sales on rainy and fewer sales on warm days. • The weather explains /- 15 % of daily flaconi sales. • The weather had the biggest impact on the “Makeup” category. flaconi now, in the spirit of #CustomerCentric, plans to use these insights to offer their customers the best shopping experience. We relish cooperations like this between our companies! flaconi published these results in their new digital flaconi Beauty Report 2024. For further flaconi facts and figures as well as exciting insights from product categories, bestsellers, and customers’ love brands, check it out. The link to the report is in the comments. 👇🏼

🌞 𝗦𝘂𝗺𝗺𝗲𝗿 𝗧𝗶𝗺𝗲 = 𝗩𝗮𝗰𝗮𝘁𝗶𝗼𝗻 𝗧𝗶𝗺𝗲 = 𝗖𝗮𝗺𝗽𝗲𝗿 𝗧𝗶𝗺𝗲 🌞 For nearly 13 million Germans camping is the favorite way of travelling and with the summer holidays around the corner many people will start their next adventure soon. However, in 2023, only 1.85 million people in the German-speaking region owned a travel or motorhome. This is why renting campers is essential for most people to have their perfect vacation. That's where our portfolio company CamperDays comes in! 🚐 As the number one rental motorhome comparison platform in Europe, CamperDays is paving the way for unforgettable camping experiences. With a presence in eleven European countries, the company offers a fleet of over 35,000 motorhomes, with more than 1,000 pick-up locations in 31 countries across five continents. It's no wonder that CamperDays was recognized as the best price comparison portal for motorhome rentals by Stiftung Warentest in 2022. And in 2024, ntv also awarded them the German Service Award for the Best Motorhome Rental in the Camping category. We've been working with the company, that was founded in Cologne in 2013, since its inception, and together, we've achieved some remarkable milestones. CamperDays, for example, was the sponsor of the #KabelEins show "3 Spitzenköche auf 4 Rädern" (3 Top Chefs on 4 Wheels) for two seasons (2022 and 2023). Furthermore, CamperDays also sponsored the Kabel Eins Camping Week in 2018. 🚐 👨🏼🍳 Next to campaigns on our channels, CamperDays also believes in making a positive impact. That's why they've undertaken various campaigns to promote sustainability, such as partnering with everwave to combat plastic pollution and collaborating with myclimate to reduce CO₂ emissions. They've also launched social campaigns like the She-Drives campaign, challenging gender stereotypes, and organized a Christmas donation drive for the WWF Brown Bear Conservation Project. 🚀 We are proud to see all the initiatives and the success of our partner and are looking forward to what’s to come. More information on the company, some travel inspirations and the possibility to book a camper are on CamperDays’ website: www.camperdays.de

For this purpose, 3,020 people across Germany were surveyed on the topic of the European Football Championship to find out what consumers desire and how the retailers and the market can use this momentum.

However, it has also been shown that the relevant awareness and the corresponding engagement only fully develop shortly before or right at the start of the tournament. Those who want to achieve a maximum share of voice in the buzz must coordinate their content and the timing of their offers and campaigns.” 👉🏼 Check out the Press Release for more insights: https://lnkd.in/eiaJqxDj

🛍️ 📱 𝗢𝗿𝗴𝗮𝗻𝗶𝘀𝗮𝘁𝗶𝗼𝗻 𝗶𝘀 𝗸𝗲𝘆 – 𝗮𝗻𝗱 𝘁𝗵𝗮𝗻𝗸𝘀 𝘁𝗼 𝗺𝗮𝗿𝗸𝘁𝗴𝘂𝗿𝘂’𝘀 𝗻𝗲𝘄 𝗮𝗽𝗽 𝗕𝗼𝗻𝘀𝘆 𝗶𝘁’𝘀 𝗮𝘀 𝗲𝗮𝘀𝘆 𝗮𝘀 𝗲𝘃𝗲𝗿   Bonsy is the budget book 2.0: The smart app uses #AI to automatically assign the products purchased to the respective categories (e.g. fruit, vegetables, snacks, dairy products, beauty & personal care, etc.) and not - as is usual with other budget books - on the basis of the retailer (supermarket, drugstore, etc.) where the purchase was made. This gives shoppers a particularly accurate and detailed breakdown of their spending, which helps them to better plan their own household budget.   And that’s how it works: With Bonsy, neither products nor retailers need to be entered manually into the app. Users simply upload a photo of the receipt to the app and the Bonsy AI does all the rest. It can structure expenses in diagrams and make them available for download in table form, enabling an easy overview of expenses and price trends of products over the course of the year.   The app works without a connection to a bank account and is completely anonymous. Personal financial information is never passed on to advertising networks. The Bonsy AI only uses it for statistical evaluations of a large number of users. 📈   👉🏼 If you want to download Bonsy now, you can find it in the App Store and in the Google Play Store. We are excited about the new smart shopping assistant. Congratulations to the marktguru Deutschland - ein Unternehmen der ProSiebenSat.1 Media SE team on the launch.

flaconi goes „Späti“ 🏪   No, our majority shareholding does not go to some Berlin kiosk to get last-minute groceries. Instead, flaconi cooperates with Elevator Production for their social media series “Späti”.   The viewers can follow Uncle D., a Späti-owner and part-time influencer, in the format, which is published on the #Instagram channel @spaeti_de on Wednesdays and Sundays. The fictional storyline focuses on a #cooperation contract of Uncle D. with flaconi for a high-end commercial that is supposed to generate a lot of attention with a small budget. During an official meeting at flaconi's headquarters, Uncle D. plans to produce a high-reach commercial together with his “Späti”-crew making big promises. Through an unofficial casting, Barry (IG: Bodyformus) becomes the main character of the humorous and exaggerated commercial, which is presented to the social media managers at flaconi. ✨   flaconi CEO Bastian Siebers: “We are delighted to be part of the Späti series with flaconi and to provide our ‘Beauty in your Pocket’ strategy with new, mobile-based, and creative content with viral potential.”   👀 Check out the hilarious story on @spaeti_de Instagram as well as their TikTok or on flaconi’s Instagram.   📸: Elevator Production
