LuLu — Promotion Guidelines

When a retailer ships hundreds of promotional assets a week across teams and agencies, consistency stops being a matter of taste and becomes a design problem. This guideline system solved it — one source of truth for how a LuLu promotion looks, from the price badge up.

The system

The foundation is a documented kit of parts: a colour logic that maps to promotion types, a type scale that survives from billboard to bag-stuffer, and an icon set built to read at a glance. Get these right and everything downstream falls into place.

In the feed

The same rules travel to social. Templated post layouts let the marketing team drop in a new offer and stay on-brand without a designer in the loop — and the motion versions give the feed a pulse.

Animated cuts of the same templates keep the grid moving — small loops that add energy to a price drop without ever breaking the system.

In the wild

On shelf, on screen, in hand — the payoff is a promotion that looks unmistakably LuLu wherever it lands, produced fast and consistently by whoever picks up the file.
