Let’s Respect Retail
Thursday 15th October, 2026
Ahead of the Christmas trading period, Sainsbury’s joined the Retail Trust’s Let’s Respect Retail campaign, bringing its message into stores, online and onto receipts. The simple, timely hook is a national retailer asking shoppers to treat shop workers with kindness, while the campaign also offers workers training and support to address abuse.
Why it worked: It piggybacked the pre-Christmas retail surge with receipt-level messaging that reaches millions at point-of-behaviour, backed by welfare data and training access.
The lesson: Consider tying a universal seasonal pinch-point to a mandatory-touchpoint medium (receipts, tickets, invoices) and add a tangible support resource.
