Findings showed that 85% of the retailers surveyed had experienced a rise in energy costs in the past six months[2].

  • Focus on the big hitters: Stock key categories like energy, carbonates, water, juice, and sports drinks. Products like Rockstar Energy®, Pepsi MAX®, Tango, and Robinsons Ready-To-Drink are proven performers.
  • Uncover emerging opportunities: Consider emerging categories like Ready-To-Drink coffee or health-focused offerings from brands like Jimmy’s Iced Coffee, Purdey’s and Plenish.
  • Bring some excitement: Refresh your selection with limited edition releases and new flavours like Tango Mango and Tango Blast.
  • Streamline your shelf space and chiller: Group similar products together and ensure logos are facing forward for easy navigation.
  • Shout it out: Use eye-catching Point Of Sale (POS) materials to make your soft drinks offering stand out.
  • Highlight the value: Utilise Price Marked Packs (PMP) for popular brands to showcase value to budget-conscious shoppers.
  • On the go: Consider the drinks you offer with on-the-go snacks and meals. Classic combos like Pepsi MAX® or 7UP Zero with crisps can drive basket spend.
