B2B: MOOV RETAILER CONFERENCE 2025/26 – THE ULTIMATE RETAILER SURVIVOR CHALLENGE

The MOOV Retailer Conference is an annual event designed to energize, engage and inspire the retail network. Each year, the conference adopts a new theme to spotlight operational excellence, community engagement and sales performance. For 2025/26, the theme was The Ultimate Retailer Survivor Challenge – an eight-month, gamified campaign designed to reward and transform retail operations.

As part of this annual event, we conceptualised and designed all conference assets, ensuring a cohesive and high-impact experience. Our work included everything from slide decks, videos and logos, to trophies, banners and digital gamification elements, creating a fully immersive launch that set the stage for the Survivor Challenge.

Objectives

  • Drive sales growth: Protect base volume and increase fuel sales.
  • Enhance operational compliance: Reinforce HSSE standards (Health, Safety, Security, Environment).
  • Boost staff engagement: Motivate teams through gamification, recognition and incentives.
  • Activate local marketing: Empower retailers to engage their communities and create memorable customer experiences.
  • Strengthen brand presence: Increase goodwill, visibility and reputation locally.

Strategy

The Survivor Challenge combined annual conference activation, gamification and digital tracking:

  • Two-tier competition: Retailers competed within volume-based tiers to ensure fairness.
  • Performance-based scoring: Points earned across fuel sales, community involvement, image stewardship, wetstock management, promotion participation, staff motivation, training and optional LPG installation.
  • Monthly evaluations & Immunity Idols: Ongoing tracking created continuous engagement and friendly competition.
  • Recognition & rewards: Cash prizes (R10,000 – R50,000) and prestige motivated retailers and their teams.

Target Audience

  • MOOV retail site owners and forecourt teams.
  • High-volume (Tier 1) and low-volume (Tier 2) retail sites.
  • Frontline staff responsible for customer experience and operational excellence.
