BIOCOOP

For nearly 40 years, Biocoop has embodied a demanding and activist vision of organic retail in France. With a network of over 700 stores, the brand aims to strengthen its distinctiveness in a rapidly evolving market. In 2023, it reaffirmed its commitment through a new commercial communication platform focused on price, accessibility, and customer loyalty.

Context

As a pioneer of organic distribution in general retail, Biocoop has grown around strong values: respect for the earth, producers, and consumers. Faced with the rise of new players, the mainstreaming of organic products, and increasing price sensitivity, the brand seeks to combine ethical commitment with commercial appeal. The challenge: assert its uniqueness without compromising its founding principles.

Our Ambition

We supported Biocoop in overhauling its commercial communication to reflect both its historical values and its goal to attract and retain customers.

Our approach

Our work centered on designing an original commercial activation plan (PAC) that highlighted Biocoop’s offerings, structured key promotional moments, and improved the brand’s price image:

We deployed Altavia’s proprietary 360° content solution as the foundation of a centralized content factory model:

Developed a new commercial communication charter combining brand identity and promotional expression.
Created themed and product-focused visual campaigns across press, outdoor, and in-store POS.
Produced printed communication materials (posters, brochures, POS kits) and in-store theatrics.
Piloted test campaigns on social media as traffic-driving tools.
Managed the end-to-end process: strategic consulting, creative development, prepress, and printing.

Let’s talk

Our Results

Complete redesign of the brand’s promotional visual identity.
Harmonized commercial communication across all customer touchpoints.
Improved price perception through more accessible and direct messaging.
Strengthened alignment between activist values and commercial imperatives.
Positive experimentation with digital media for customer acquisition.

This initiative is part of a long-standing partnership between Biocoop and Altavia, active since 2004, grounded in a shared conviction: making demanding organic values both visible and desirable.
