and hopefully you will
be beginning to
experience the effect
that a spell of nice
weather can have on

opportunities for local Retailers. Use our

you can maximise sales come rain or shine
during the summer season.

sales for you if you get your offering right.

Customers are looking for
indulgence during a recession
If the weather appears that it is going to be nice for a
long period or over a weekend, consider having
chilled cases in the stock room to cater for the huge
demand.
Soft drinks should also be offered cold. See our
article on page 9 about how to best manage this
category.
Focus on Ice Cream
Despite two back-to-back dreary summers, the ice
cream category has still seen a 4% sales rise, which
indicates that it could be a key seller over the next
months. An easy way to maximise sales in this area is
to advertise that you sell ice cream. Have an A-board
or window poster to let your Customers know that
they can get ice-cream at your store.
Consumers are also looking for indulgence during a
recession, and ice cream seems to satisfy this need.
As well as individual ice cream, tubs too can be a
winner especially with a general increase in popularity
of frozen food in general since the recession. Look for
popular brands, New Product Development,
price-marked packs and promotions at your local
Landmark Wholesaler as well as locally sourced
products if available to make the most of this
category.

The Softer Side of Life
Worth £1.8 billion, soft drinks are an important part of the impulse market
Symbol Groups and Independent Retailers
account for a combined 60% of the soft drink
market. Therefore it is a key area for Independent
Retailers to get right in order to maintain this
superior share.
By using simple solutions in-store you can grow
sales in this category and drive footfall.
Know your market
The soft drinks category has ballooned with the
amount of brands and sub-categories, from
carbonates / sparkling, to non-sparkling, energy,
bottled water and flavoured waters which can be
over-whelming to even the most seasoned of
Retailer.
The market is also being constantly flooded with
New Product Development (NPD), and whilst it is
important to recognise new products it is also key
not to ignore the major brands and top sellers.
Get your core range right with help from your
local Landmark Wholesaler, and then compliment
this with what you know sells well in your store.
Use the RSP Guide in this edition of Retail
Matters as a reference to the core range in each
category.

Soft drinks shoppers are likely to have one of two
main reasons for their shopping trips – food for
now or top up shop. According to research, these
two reasons account for over a third of shopper
missions to a local store, as these outlets are
convenient, quick and easy. Use simple solutions
in-store to make the most of the soft drinks
opportunity on these missions.
Different stores have different busy periods, for
example some stores may cater for the school
run with busy morning and mid-afternoon times,
whilst others may attract workers, with breakfast,

Make sure you are meeting your Shoppers’
requirements. If you know your Customers are
looking for a breakfast solution then your soft
drinks should reflect this, with fresh juice available
and highlighted in the fixture. If you have a busy
lunchtime, pre-prepare by ensuring the fixtures,
especially the chillers, are well-stocked up ahead
of the rush.
A well-stocked chiller is vital
Shoppers must be able to see chilled drinks when
they enter the store. To encourage impulse buys,
in larger stores locate a smaller chiller by the
checkout to capture these extra sales.
86% of Shoppers want
their soft drink chilled.
Optimise Range & Merchandising
The right share of space allows the ideal range of
soft drinks to be offered. The space allocated to
soft drinks is constantly under pressure due to
Retailers looking to introduce more value-added
services and the increasing number of new
brands to market.
Despite the vast amount of NPD in the market,
cola is still the category beacon that Customers
will use to find soft drinks in your store. During the
shopping process a red wall is associated with
cola, a blue wall with water. And whilst ranges
have increased outside the core sparkling range,
it is still important to recognise that this is a key
driver of the category and relevant and important
to Shoppers.
Focus on Offering Value
It’s no surprise that with the credit crunch
Consumers say that price is an important factor.
A third go on to say that a price-marked pack
would encourage them to purchase a product as
they feel it offers value.
Pass on Wholesaler promotions to your
Customers to encourage purchases. Promote
these offers on the fixtures and in the chiller using
POS such as shelf barkers.
Encourage Shoppers to try new products by
offering an introductory low price, and cross
promote with other categories, for example offer
meal deals to increase frequency of purchase.
Cross category promotion is key with soft drinks
as this category strongly interacts with other
impulse categories. For example, 22% of
sandwich Shoppers will also purchase a soft
drink, 20% of
soft drink
Shoppers will

often a barrier to sales.

Cider – the summer drink of choice
The cider category is enjoying healthy growth
The cider category is maintaining healthy growth
(and growing faster in the recession than ever
before), since its reinvention over three years ago
with the emergence of the Premium and over ice
sector.
Today, the take home cider market is worth £646
million (latest MAT off trade figures value sales to
18.04.09) and is the fastest growing alcohol
sector, up 17.5% year-on-year (Nielsen latest
MAT to 18.04.09).

bottles on the top shelf, firstly because of weight,
but to also encourage Shoppers to trade up to
higher value products.
Use our recommended 1.5m planogram as to
how your fixture should look.
Cider is no longer about selling the biggest
volumes at the lowest margins, Premium brands
are enjoying strong growth in the market,
despite poor summers, and new brands are
attracting new drinkers and injecting value and
cash margin back into this category.
As the cider market is growing, this should

Blackthorn vertically to help Shoppers find the

Cider sells well all year round, but extremely well
in key periods such as summer and Christmas
With the upcoming months of summer you should
consider;
• 57% of all cider purchases are consumed
within three hours. Ensure you stock your
glass bottles and cans of cider in the chiller.
• Clearly communicate price on the fixture,
otherwise Consumers may leave the fixture
without making a purchase.
• Avoid out of stocks and lost sales by having
enough additional stock of key cider brands –
keep an eye on the weather forecast – you
may need more cider on a warm weekend.
ISSUE 03

• Stock ice in your shop as many Premium Ciders
such as Magners, Bulmers Original, Jacques and
Gaymers are enjoyed more ‘over ice’. Consider
link purchases, for example buy four bottles and
get a bag of ice at a reduced price.
• Cider is a highly impulsive purchase,
therefore consider siting it away from the cider
fixture or beside bbq foods and snacks to
capitalise on this.
• Attract Customers to the display by linking
current adverts to the products such as wobblers
and posters.

Cider sells extremely well in
key periods such as Summer
• Cider has done a fantastic job of bringing
new female consumers into the market,
particularly new brands such as Jacques
Fruits De Bois and Gaymers Pear. Make sure
you stock these to meet this opportunity.
• One in ten Shoppers leave the beer and cider
fixture without making a purchase – a well
merchandised cider fixture, stocking the most
popular brands, avoiding out of stocks and with a
chilled section will maximise your cider sales.
• Be sure to also include in your range Price Mark
Packs and multipacks of cider. These packs -are
driving growth within the cider category.
Products such as Blackthorn 8 packs PMP at
£6.25 will help upweight your Customer’s
purchase from a 4 pack to an 8 pack
There are key decisions that Shoppers will follow
when purchasing cider –cans, glass bottles or
PET bottles and sweeter/ contemporary or
dry/traditional. However this can also be broken
down further into different Customer-types/
missions and it is important to ensure that each
occasion and Customer type is catered for.
Everyday Cider is likely to be purchased by
Consumers looking to relax at home after a hard
day at work, either alone or with friends.
Premium Cider is more likely to be purchased by
slightly more affluent Customers who will be
drinking with larger groups of friends.
White Cider is likely to be purchased by slightly
less affluent Customers.
Friday and Saturday Evenings are the main
shopping times for cider.
57% of cider will be consumed within three hours
of purchase and 83% on the same day of
purchase.
A well merchandised
cider fixture will maximise
your cider sales
Cider is the TOP alcohol destination purchase
within the independent sector over and above
wine, beer and spirits. You therefore have an extra
advantage if you can stock cider in your chiller.
A chilled offering will mean your Customers are
more than likely to choose your store more often
and buy more.

Go Nuts over Crisps & Snack sales
How to get the most out of this growing category
It seems the UK is a nation of snackers. Despite a
recession, Consumers are reluctant to forgo their
savoury treats and as a result the total crisps,
snacks and nuts market has grown by 7.1% over
the last year and is worth £2.1 billion…that’s a
staggering 9 billion packs of crisps, snacks and
nuts sold every year!
So how can you get the most out of this growing
category? With over 1,900 skus in this category it
is difficult to know what you should be stocking
and how to maximise your range to boost sales.
It is worth remembering that 80% of your crisps
and snack sales come from just 12% of the lines.
Your Crisps, Snacks and Nuts fixture should be
segmented into four key sectors: Singles,
Sharing, Multipacks and Nuts, and allocation
of space should be split with 70% dedicated to
Singles, 10% to Multipacks, Sharing 15% and
Nuts should make up 5%. Follow Landmark
Wholesale’s Hot House

Retail Matters
Sharing and Multipack sales within Independent
Stores remain the biggest opportunity and should
be a major focus for Retailers in 2009 and
beyond.
the total crisps,
snacks and nuts market
is worth £2.1 billion
Sharing represents the biggest incremental sales
opportunity for Crisps, Snacks and Nuts sales.
Whilst the average Independent store will stock
only one Sharing line, its high street competitor
will carry more than 15 Sharing lines.
Multipacks are also an untapped area within the
Independent Sector. Currently most Independent
Retailers do not stock Multipacks, but it is a great
way of offering value to the Consumer whilst
driving sales for the Retailer. A core range of 3 or
4 best sellers will do well.
Building Blocks to Success
1. Right Range – Stocking the wrong range can
cost your store thousands of pounds each year
in lost Crisps & Snacks sales. The Top 40 Best
Selling lines will generate over £4,000 more in a
year than the next best 40 lines.
2. Right Space – Focus on the Best Sellers and
ensure they are always available. Merchandise
Standard and Big Eat bags separately so the
Customer can see the difference in size and
price easily on the fixture. Having a minimum of
two facings per product will enable the
Consumer to find what they want easily.
Encourage shoppers to trade up to higher value
lines by making them more visible – merchandise
these lines at eye line on the shelf or in high
traffic areas of the store. Try clip strips to save
space and also as a way of displaying seasonal
lines and cross promoting with other categories
in store, for example Beer or Soft Drinks.
Sharing represents the
biggest incremental sales
opportunity for Crisps,
Snacks and Nuts sales.

JULY-SEPT 2009
4. Promotions – Strategically use promotional
activity to drive sales. Make sure these are
communicated to your Customers in-store
through effective point of sale and also on any
Consumer leaflets you distribute locally.
5. Value – Consumers are looking for value
more than ever these days. Help them out by
offering price-marked packs to inspire loyalty
and confidence.
3. Secondary Displays – Drive impulse buys
and create additional focus for Crisps, Snacks
and Nuts in store by using secondary fixtures,
for example near the till. Also, think about tapping
into the Lunchtime trade, and site
Crisps and Snacks together with Soft Drinks
and Sandwiches to make the most of this
opportunity.
6. Service – Great Customer service is
essential and should underpin everything a
Retailer does. Staff friendliness, store cleanliness,
product knowledge, attentiveness and attitude
are absolutely critical to success.
Multipacks are a great way of
offering value to the Consumer
and driving sales for you

Back to School
Educate yourself for Back to School Sales
The words ‘Back to School’ can instil fear into
school children up and down the country but
exhilaration into the hearts of Independent
Retailers. Over the last few years, the lucrative
Back to School market has been overrun by the
Supermarkets. There is still, however a real
opportunity for Independent Retailers to actively
generate interest and extra business at this key
time of the year.
There are two areas that you should be looking at
in order to capitalise on the Back to School boost
in sales – lunch box items and stationery.
Help busy parents source their lunch box fillers
locally, by stocking up on multipacks of soft
drinks, such as Fruit Shoots, crisps and snacks
and sandwich items such as bread rolls, cheese
and cold meats. Promote your store as a place to
stock up with these items with POS.
The UK Back to School stationery market was
worth £68m in 2008 and with the Independent
Sector representing 30% of the total retail market,
the size of the prize is enticing to say the least. In
the stationery market some
products are high volume lines
whereas others are high
value, and it is up to you to
decide which range or
combination of lines is right
for your store and your
Customers. For example,
the traditional ballpoint
pen is a low value item
but will generate high
volume sales,
compared to a higher
value item such as a
fountain pen which may
not sell as many units.

lucrative Back to School
market... a real opportunity
for Independent Retailers
The Back to School period is a key sales time for
the whole of the office products industry, so aim
promotions, multi-deals and offers at children and
adults alike. On kid’s fun and funky products it’s
important to appeal to the children but also offer
value to the parent who invariably will be the ones
having to pay for it. Try running promotions that
combine a number of products or offer money off
on selected packs.
Here are some top tips to make the grade:
From early August to the middle of September,
stock up on your Back to School ranges to
ensure parents know you have these items in
store and maintain good levels of availability.
Create a dedicated Back to School fixture for
some in-store theatre and to capture impulse
buys.
Create atmosphere in-store with retail hanging
banners as an effective way of promoting your
Back to School range. Use POS in the form of
posters, wobblers and shelf talkers to get parent’s
attention when they are in-store and browsing the
fixture.
