Unitas Wholesale has launched a new ‘Plan for Profit Focus On’ category guide to help its members’ retail customers prepare for the ‘back to school’ and ‘back to higher education’ period in August and September.
The guide is available online and from selected Unitas Wholesale member depots.
Focus On: Back to Routine, which covers ‘Back to School’, College & Uni contains insight on snacking and confectionery from category experts at Swizzels, Haribo, PepsiCo and KP Snacks. As well as tips from Independent Achievers Academy Top 100 retailer Asiyah Javed of Day-Today Alloa Road, Stenhousemuir, Falkirk.
Tracey Redfearn, Head of Marketing & Communications at Unitas Wholesale, said: “The ‘back to school’ period is one of great upheaval for the UK’s 19 million families and 3 million students. We’re delighted to offer such a comprehensive guide for retailers to maximise their sales and profits during this crucial time.”
Highlights in the issue include a breakdown of the 35 must-stock confectionery lines, top 15 snacking SKUs and top five sweet bags. Retailers will also find advice on food to go, healthier choices and merchandising.
