Project Overview
Nespresso's category economics inside Costco are unusual: the machine moves on Roadshow demo conversion at the club, and the long-run value is the capsule attach that follows the household home. A Costco Roadshow program for Nespresso has to optimize for both moments simultaneously. The in-club machine-purchase decision and the post-purchase capsule subscription pathway. The strategic problem was sequencing Roadshow demo execution, in-club merchandising, and the capsule subscription on-ramp so the warehouse-club channel functioned as a real subscription-acquisition engine rather than a one-time machine sale.

Execution
MOART expanded the Nespresso Roadshow demo program across Costco Canada clubs, built capsule attach mechanics that converted in-club machine purchasers onto the Nespresso subscription pathway, ran the in-club merchandising and demo coordination through Nespresso's national field team, and operated the Roadshow execution against Costco's warehouse-club operating cadence rather than retrofitting a retail-channel calendar.

Project Results
Costco Canada Roadshow program expanded across the warehouse-club footprint, capsule attach mechanics converting in-club machine purchasers onto subscription, and the Roadshow program continuing as the anchor warehouse-club execution model.

Conclusion
Nespresso’s collaboration with MOArt to expand its retail operations at Costco Canada proved to be a resounding success. Through a strategic approach that combined in-depth market research, strategic partnerships, optimized distribution, and targeted offline marketing, Nespresso was able to significantly boost its market share and sales within Costco stores. This case study underscores the importance of aligning product placement, marketing strategies, and distribution channels to achieve substantial business growth in competitive retail environments. The success of this project not only enhanced Nespresso’s presence in Costco but also solidified its position as a leader in the premium coffee machine market.
