Playful candy displays and top marketing in M&M Store, London

At the corner of Leicester Square and Coventry Street, you find the London M&M Store. It is impossible to miss it, certainly in the evening when all the neon flash lights are lit. Strange to realise that this is all about these little peanuts covered in chocolate and merchandising, the extreme side of marketing and it works.

Walking through the store, I was surprised how many people were buying these products. The displays were fantastic and adjusted to the London theme, M&M's with the Union Jack, in a double decker bus, dressed up as a Royal Guard... If you pass by, you have to go inside.

Op de hoek van Leicester Square and Coventry Street vind je de M&M Store. Het is onmogelijk deze niet te zien, zeker 's avonds wanneer alle neon lichten aan zijn. Wat raar dat dit alles draait om die kleine pinda nootjes met een laagje chocolade er om heen. De meest extreme vorm van product merchandising en het werkt. 

Door de winkel wandelend, was ik verbaasd dat veel mensen allerlei zaken aan het kopen waren. De opstelling van de goederen was fantastisch en aangepast aan de stad Londen. M&M's met de Union Jack, op een dubbeldeksbus, verkleed als Koninklijke Wacht... Als je hier langs komt, moet je zeker binnen gaan, het loont de moeite..

  8. These pictures are FABULOUS!!! I think any child would be delighted to run through all this! Who knew that M&m's had their own store? Here, we have only the vending machines. I love the congratulatory ones in the champagne bottles.
