Retail events play key role in franchise strategy for Trolls, says Universal’s Hannah Mungo.
The DreamWorks Trolls Truck Tour has kicked off this week, taking in select The Entertainer, Toys R Us, Smyths and Tesco locations across the UK.
The 17-metre+ truck began its tour of 13 retail stops on August 19 – at Toys R Us in Glasgow’s Helen Street – and will continue through until Thursday August 31 (in Tesco’s Watford Extra).
As you might expect, the Trolls Truck is packed full of ‘hair-rific’ activities for fans to enjoy.
These include a cupcake decorating station, crafting tables. a chance for children to Trollify themselves in Poppy’s Salon, a visit to Branch’s bunker and more.
Hannah Mungo, country director UK & Ireland consumer products at Universal Brand Development, told The Source: “We’re incredibly excited to be bringing the Trolls truck tour to children across the UK this summer.
“Interactive retail events like this play a key role in our franchise strategy for Trolls to sustain our licensing programme and delight fans of all ages.”
