02 — Strategic truth

The product is not the problem.

Cordell’s has created a differentiated beverage proposition in a category dominated by large international players. The commercial challenge is now simple: get more people to try it, capture the relationship, and create reasons for them to buy again.

Trial is the unlock. Ownership is the advantage.

03 — Category advantage

A new occasion, not another RTD.

Value-led

01

Around 17 standard drinks per litre at an accessible entry price.

Versatile

02

Soda, water, tonic, lemonade, cocktails, spritzes, slushies, pints and jugs.

Venue-ready

03

Strong margin, simple serve, shareable formats and long-drink occasions.

Discovery-led

04

Different enough to create curiosity, simple enough to drive repeat.

04 — Commercial model

From transaction to relationship.

Every Cordell’s interaction can become more than a sale. A retail purchase, venue serve, student event or hospitality pop-up can create a direct relationship between Cordell’s and the customer.

  1. Step 01
    Discover

    Product seen in venue, bottle shop or event.

  2. Step 02
    Try

    Customer tastes Cordell's in the right occasion.

  3. Step 03
    Claim

    Offer, reward or experience creates an immediate action.

  4. Step 04
    Save

    Customer receives a digital wallet asset or profile connection.

  5. Step 05
    Return

    Follow-up offers drive repeat purchase.

  6. Step 06
    Share

    Customers create social proof through moments, serves and venues.

05 — Pilot structure

A focused Victorian pilot before summer.

The first phase is intentionally simple. One retail activation. One venue activation. One community moment. Measured properly, then scaled.

01

Retail activation

Convert shelf presence into customer action through in-store QR/NFC offers, flavour discovery and local bottle shop promotions.

02

Venue activation

Build one or two signature serve moments around pints, jugs, simple cocktails and shared occasions in venues already suited to the product.

03

Community moment

Use Melbourne Uni O Week as the first high-density trial event, supported by content capture and nearby venue/retail follow-up.

06 — Activation ecosystem

One connected loop.

Cordell’s does not need disconnected campaigns. It needs a simple connected system that links product, venue, retail and customer into one commercial loop.

  • 01Bottle shops drive discovery.
  • 02Venues create social proof.
  • 03Events create product-in-hand trial.
  • 04Digital wallet offers create repeat purchase.
  • 05Customer content creates authentic reach.
  • 06First-party data compounds over time.
07 — Partnership model

Built for a bootstrapped brand.

The commercial structure should support momentum, not slow it down. The pilot can be structured around low upfront cost, product-led activation and shared upside where new revenue is created.

Option 01

Revenue share

SWiiFT participates when new measurable revenue is created.

Option 02

Deferred fee

Support is provided now, with payment linked to commercial progress.

Option 03

Success-led pilot

A lean activation model designed to prove trial, engagement and repeat purchase before scale.
