#Brands| P&S | Davidoff DAVIDOFF REACH PURPLE AND PARKER & SIMPSON DUO PURPLE HAVE AN ATTRACTIVE FEATURE – A BRIGHT AND REFRESHING BLUEBERRY AND RASPBERRY FLAVOR AND THE MOST POPULAR NICOTINE STRENGTH Oliver Kutz, General Manager Russia and Central Asia Cluster: “I thank the team for the fantastic new products. Russian customers will appreciate stylish packs and the pleasant mild flavor of the cigarettes. Moreover, the new product line will be launched with a superprice of 100 rubles per pack, which will be fixed for several months. We’ll have a tremendous success!” Today Parker & Simpson DUO Purple is available in all regions of Russia. Now Davidoff Reach Purple was launched in the limited territory – in the South region, but it will come to other regions of the country soon. The berry series meets the increasing customer interest in a berry flavor. The share of this segment has risen by three times since last year. Over the same period of time, the share of crushball cigarettes increased more than by two times – from 6.33 to 14.4%. We are convinced that expanding Parker&Simpson and Davidoff lines will contribute to the Imperial Tobacco share growth in Russia. Vadim Rudnik, Market Manager Russia: “We launch a new berry crushball cigarette line. These products are great, an the price is good. This is why I’m sure that we’ll see the sales success!” Martin Chromy, Head of Sales and Marketing Operations Russia and Central Asia Cluster: “We’ve created a prefect product for the Russian market! We have ambitious plans for the 2019 fiscal year: we plan to sell 1 billion cigarettes. And we have everything to achieve this goal!” OUR COLLEAGUES IN KAZAKHSTAN ALSO HAD THE BERRY PARTY.
