Out of all categories in the convenience channel, soft drinks is the biggest contributor to generating store footfall and sales1. So, in a category that is already full of success and choice, creating bold and exciting soft drink offerings in-store is key to standing out from the crowd. Here’s our top tips to making soft drinks impossible to ignore in your store…
From stocking a varied range to introducing and activating with Point Of Sale (POS), you can make sure your range is unmissable. Not only will this benefit your revenue, but it will also build customer satisfaction and loyalty.
New soft drink launches allow you to regularly change up your offering and keep shoppers engaged with the category too. Opting for new products which have striking packaging and bold flavours will disrupt shoppers whether they are browsing leisurely or busy and onthe-go.
Ensure your soft drink chiller is highly visible, easy to locate and positioned near high traffic areas. Additionally, group products from the same sub-categories together so shoppers can easily locate their desired soft drink and brand time and time again. Amplifying these basics with POS will also ensure specific flavours and new launches are easily spotted in chillers.
Shoppers are creatures of habit, so it’s important for them to know where their favourites are located when returning to your store. Stocking core ranges alongside NPD is equally as important to provide a soft drink for everyone, whether they’re in the mood for their favourite classic or to try something new.
