‘From Our Home to Yours’ — Royal Salute and Martell launch Lunar New Year pop-up at Changi

A gifting wonderland: Travellers at Changi Airport can shop limited-edition and popular releases from Royal Salute and Martell over the Lunar New Year holidays 

SINGAPORE. Pernod Ricard Global Travel Retail has partnered with Lotte Duty Free and Changi Airport Group to launch a Lunar New Year pop-up in Singapore Changi Airport from its Royal Salute and Martell brands.

The ‘From Our Home to Yours’ gifting experience is located in Terminal 3 and offers a wide range of limited-edition and best-selling products from the Cognac and whisky brands. The animation is dressed in vibrant red and gold blooms and invites travellers to experience the Royal Salute 21YO Signature & Peated Blend and Martell Cordon Bleu through complimentary tasting sessions.

Travellers will be able to shop the limited-edition Royal Salute 21YO Lunar New expression at the animation. The collectible bottle was designed by Chinese illustrator Trajan Jia and features an intricate swirl of Lunar New Year elements and Royal Salute motifs that blend eastern and western influences.

The 55sq m space is a retailtainment showcase and features digital screens and tablets for travellers to experience Royal Salute and Martell’s limited-edition video content.

A photo space, complete with themed props, is a standout feature of the pop-up. Here, travellers can take photos as memorable keepsakes of their visit and share them on social media. Travellers can contribute to the décor of the photo space by making a wish and writing it on a red ribbon, before attaching it to the pop-up.

All purchases of Martell Cordon Blue are accompanied by traditional Chinese ‘red envelopes’ which are given as gifts during the Lunar New Year holidays. Shoppers also receive a complimentary Lunar New Year gift bag with every purchase.

“The ‘From Our Home to Yours’ experience at Changi Airport is our third experiential pop-up in Terminal 3 over the past four months, and it truly embodies the spirit of the gifting season and Lunar New Year in a unique and vibrant way. We hope to continue creating memorable and personal gifting experiences for travelling shoppers.”
