Hey WA Fam!

There’s a creative trend popping up in grocery stores right now that’s hard to miss.

Entire scenes, characters, and displays are being built using nothing but everyday products....soda cases, cereal boxes, snack bags, canned goods. Simple items stacked with intention, turning aisles into full-on visual experiences.

It’s creative. It's fun. And it's unexpected. And it’s a perfect way to stretch your imagination. I have seen a bunch of these posts entering into my social media so I though this would be a great challenge we could run this week.

So that's what this week’s challenge is all about.


What to Do:

  1. Open Image Studio and create a grocery store scene built entirely from products.
    • Characters made from stacked boxes or cans
    • Landscapes created from packaged goods
    • Logos, animals, or pop-culture scenes recreated using store products
    • Fun or artistic grocery-store displays
    • Brands and logos for your company, or other companies
  2. Post in the comments:
    • Your image (attach it directly)
    • What products you used to build the scene
    • A short explanation of the idea behind it

This challenge is open to ALL members, including Starter members.

The Prize:

Top 5 most liked entries will each receive:

  • $25 Cash Credits
  • 20,000 AI Credits ($100 value)
  • $125 total value per winner

Key Details:

  • Open to ALL members: Starter, Premium, and Premium Plus+
  • Challenge runs this week
  • Post early so your entry has time to gather likes
  • You can vote by liking other entries

Why This Challenge?

Because creativity is about seeing possibility in everyday things.
Because this kind of visual thinking translates directly into better ads and content.
Because ideas that feel playful are often the most memorable.


Now it's your turn. Pick your products that you want to integrate, build your scene, and turn something ordinary into something extraordinary.

Post your creation below, and check out what others are building.

PS. Remember, these challenges are very much shareable and a great way to invite people into the platform here (and they can take part for FREE). The more the merrier!

Digital marketing training and digital products

I built the grocery store scene using digital marketing training and products to represent online skills as everyday essentials for building a modern business. Each product is placed like an item on a store shelf, showing how strategies, tools, and knowledge can be selected based on individual needs. The idea is to present digital marketing as practical, organized, and accessible—something people can learn step by step rather than something complicated or out of reach.

That's a winner!

👍

For this weeks Challenge, I decided to dedicate it to my wife once again. She has a luxury Candle and Home Fragrance Company called Purity by JMartich. I made her actual products the display and her logo on the store floor as if her company was the store sponsor. I added a futuristic shopping cart as a creative touch of what I expect shopping cart experiences might be in the near future.

Nice! She’ll love this!

Thanks she will be surprised for sure….lol

Nice one!

It's a good one

The visual organization makes the concept easy to understand.

This is a display representing a healthy meal according to the new MAHA food pyramid guidelines but made from all the old favourites we are not supposed to be eating, and yes rice cakes made the hit list [!}.

So we have a roast chicken leg, large portion of mixed colourful veg and some potatoes. A bowl of desert homemade rice pudding has also been incorporated as you can use dairy and a wholegrain rice here [!]

Image studio interpreted the challenge much better than the free chatGPT 5.2 that I also tested it on [which didn't seem to understand at all!}

Nice job!

It makes hungry I like it

I like how the design reflects the thinking behind the idea.

Here is a theme "The Bread Gallery"

It can be a supermarket section that is dedicated entirely to bread.

The architecture and the interiors are various bread shapes, colors, and textures. The walls have the color and texture of bread. The floor has a slice color and pattern.

There are sun-ray baguette and mandala flatbread displays. Spiral bun, slices, and wheat stalks shaped lights hanging from roof.

The display islands are shaped like oversized buns. The wooden centerpiece table is shaped like flatbread and small curated heaps of different bread types and branded packets, are placed on it.

The checkout counter is shaped like stacked bread slices. A sculptural bread wave wall, flows across this section.

That looks so cool! Good job! 👏🏼

Nice job!

So reel it's good

This feels like a clean and purposeful design.

The idea was to transform everyday grocery products into an immersive underwater adventure inside a grocery store aisle. By stacking familiar items like soda cases and snack bags with intention, the display turns ordinary products into characters, movement, and storytelling elements.

This scene represents how creativity and presentation can completely change perception — the same way effective marketing turns simple products into memorable experiences. It’s playful, eye-catching, and designed to stop people in their tracks while showing what’s possible when imagination leads the build.

Great 👍
Let’s move forward **productively and clearly**.

# What Grocery Store Displays Can Teach Us About Creative Marketing

Creativity doesn’t always come from expensive tools or complicated strategies. Sometimes, it comes from looking at everyday things in a completely new way.

A growing trend in grocery stores proves this perfectly. Entire scenes, characters, and visual displays are being built using nothing but everyday products — cereal boxes, soda cases, snack bags, and canned goods. When stacked with intention, these simple items transform ordinary aisles into immersive visual experiences.

This idea inspired a recent creative challenge within the Wealthy Affiliate community — and it highlights an important lesson for marketers.

---

## Turning Ordinary Products Into Visual Stories

At first glance, grocery products are just functional items. But when arranged thoughtfully, they become building blocks for storytelling.

In my grocery store scene, familiar products were used to create an underwater adventure:

* Soda cases became characters and movement
* Snack packs formed landscapes and textures
* Packaged goods created depth, colour, and flow

The goal wasn’t perfection — it was imagination.

This mirrors how effective marketing works. The product itself doesn’t change — the **presentation does**.

---

## Why Visual Creativity Matters in Marketing

In affiliate marketing and content creation, attention is everything.

People scroll quickly. They pause only when something feels:

* Unexpected
* Visually engaging
* Emotionally interesting

Creative displays like grocery store scenes train your eye to think in terms of:

* Layout and composition
* Storytelling through visuals
* Emotional connection

These same skills apply directly to ads, blog images, social media posts, and branding.

---

## Lessons Affiliate Marketers Can Learn From This Challenge

This challenge reinforces three key marketing principles:

### 1. Creativity Beats Complexity

You don’t need expensive software or advanced tools to stand out — just a fresh perspective.

### 2. Storytelling Sells

When people understand *why* something exists or *what it represents*, they engage more deeply.

### 3. Presentation Changes Perception

The same product can feel ordinary or extraordinary depending on how it’s shown.

---

## Final Thoughts

Creativity is about seeing possibility in everyday things.

Whether you’re building a grocery store scene or creating online content, the skill is the same: take what’s familiar and present it in a way that feels new, engaging, and memorable.

Challenges like this remind us that marketing doesn’t have to be rigid or intimidating — it can be playful, imaginative, and fun.

And often, those are the ideas people remember most.
