We are proud to announce that a selection of Totally Wicked products, including the Totally Wicked byte and a variety of core e-liquid ranges are now available in more than 420 Asda stores nationwide. The high-profile partnership follows on from the collaboration with Sainsbury’s just three months ago, and reaffirms Totally Wicked’s ambition to selectively expand the UK’s No.1 independent vaping brand into the supermarket channel.
Since 2008 Totally Wicked has been empowering smokers to transform their lives with a safer alternative*, and from humble beginnings have grown to be a significant force within the £1bn + total category. Whilst the independent vaping market represent c70% of this market, and Totally Wicked’s dedicated estate of 158 retail stores play a key role, consumers have shown their desire to purchase their brand of choice in more convenient locations.
In 2017, Totally Wicked secured a strategic partnership with the EuroGarages Group (EG), which would see Totally Wicked products stocked in more than 380 sites across the UK. This was followed by a partnership with WHSmith in 2019, whereby Totally Wicked e-liquids would be rolled out across WHSmith’s high street and travel businesses. Earlier this year, the partnership with supermarket giant Sainsbury’s added weight to our portfolio, and a selection of premium e-liquids are now being stocked in more than 340 Sainsbury’s stores.
We are delighted to announce that Asda will be joining Sainsbury’s as a proud stockist of Totally Wicked products as of Wednesday, 20th May. A selection of their premium e-liquids and the Totally Wicked byte will become available across more than 420 Asda stores nationwide.
Marcus Saxton, Totally Wicked CEO said,
“Having previously worked within a number of traditional FMCG categories and seen the benefit of consumer/ shopper insight, it’s great to be working with a number of leading retailers who share our passion and expertise to lead their vaping categories to the next level of growth. The sector has undoubtedly matured and therefore combining our deep understanding of the total vaping category, the consumer, their associated ‘journey’, and our leading group brands places us in a relatively unique position to partner these retailers on how best to drive their outperformance.”
This second high-profile collaboration in a matter of months reiterates Totally Wicked’s ambition to partner with select retailers to complement our industry leading e-commerce platform https://www.totallywicked-eliquid.co.uk and comprehensive retail estate of 158 dedicated vape stores.
It is of paramount importance that quality vaping products are readily available for both smokers and vapers; allowing smokers to make the life changing switch away from cigarettes, and giving vapers access to their brand of choice to ensure they continue their smoke-free journey.With more than 3.6 million vapers in the UK, consumer expectations are becoming more and more demanding.
Totally Wicked strives to exceed these expectations by not only conducting rigorous quality control procedures on all products, but by also ensuring these high-quality products are accessible at vapers’ convenience; reiterating our position as the UK’s premier vaping brand.
There are still more than 7 million smokers in the UK so if Totally Wicked is to reach this huge base, and ‘empower smokers to transform their lives’, we must ensure our presence in the busy retail arena is as prominent as possible.
