Focus On - Energy

Dear Retailer, The ‘Focus On’ guides by Plan for Profit are specifically designed for the independent retailer. Each guide contains expert product and category insights to help you make the most of opportunities in store and meet the needs of your customers. In this issue we discuss energy drinks – a category that no retailer’s soft drinks range is complete without. Not only is it the biggest soft drinks segment, with stimulant drinks alone worth £630m in independents & symbols, it is also one of the fastest growing. It is also a market with its own unique pressures and challenges. On the one hand, it is a category that relies on a relatively small group of loyal shoppers who are being squeezed by the rising cost of living. On the other, there are so many new products, flavour extensions and revamped recipes designed to appeal to new shoppers that it can be hard to keep up. In this issue, you’ll find a breakdown of the market, an overview of the opportunities in the category and planograms you can replicate to make sure you’re catering to all shoppers’ energy needs. All copies of the Focus On Guides are available to review on the Plan for Profit website and app. Visit planforprofit.co.uk or search ‘Plan for Profit’ in your preferred app store.
