I never thought I’d say this, but we’re not able to serve all our customers—and it’s the BEST feeling ever. Why? Because we are getting stocked out every single day. You have no idea about the happiness I felt while I’m writing this. Lotus Puffs were completely new to American consumers. They had never tasted anything like it before. So, we knew we had to let people try it. Sampling was the game-changer. People got to taste Lotus Puffs, and they started to understand what made it special. We faced some big challenges right from the start: - The price was higher than other snacks. - No one knew about Lotus Puffs. Even though people liked the taste, they hesitated to buy because of the price. But the team at ShopRite was incredibly supportive. They provided amazing logistics support and kept us motivated. I even joined the sampling sessions myself. Some feedback was tough: - A few people didn’t like the taste. - Some couldn’t relate to the product. But we kept pushing, and eventually, the hard work paid off. Sometimes you need to listen to your heart in order to achieve the impossible. #cpg #fmcg #snacks #food

It’s Friday, weeks over, it’s Bank Holiday weekend, another busy week. It’s whisky 🥃 time and a little insight to why I love my favourite tipple so much. This is a The Scotch Malt Whisky Society bottling, from my favourite The Welsh Whisky Company Limited, aka Penderyn. Being a packaging geek, I buy 50ml bottles so I can share and keep samples back to do mini tasting sessions. SMWS specialise in cask strength whisky, which means it’s not diluted like most retail whiskies. They classify their whisky into flavour profiles, like in this case, deep rich and dried fruits. This is a non peated old style traditional whisky, in this case it’s 59.6%, which may make your eyes water, but with the use of a pipette and a careful drop of water, you can discover a whole new world of amazing.

Planning is Key at this time of year 👍

Back in the eighties my drink of choice was a Southern Comfort and Ginger Beer. (Not now I hasten to add!)   Perfect for an evening dancing away at Annabelle’s night club on a Friday or Saturday night! Ooh memories, Duran Duran, Erasure, Soft Cell and Human League to name a few! So it got me to thinking - is it still as popular? What is the liqueur of choice these days?   Looking at sales by units in June it's good to see Southern Comfort putting in an appearance, and even more interesting to see the number of 50ml bottles of various liqueurs (aka miniature or fractional) putting in an appearance also! Very convenient to stick in your pocket on a night out!   What would you take along to a party these days - doesn't have to be a liqueur - each to their own? Let us know and we'll put together a list of your favourites and their current rate of sale in convenience. Or DM me if you don’t want to share your drinking addiction to the world!? We know how to live, but more importantly, we know how every single product sold in convenience stores is performing! Our c3.6 million barcodes can’t be wrong and creates an amazing picture! #data #insights #sazerac Sazerac UK #distribution #sales #convenience #digitalcoupons #Annabelle’s

"Did you know you can "Twist-off" your Supermalt lid?..." ———- Now, I am not trying to start a LinkedIn debate around Supermalt, and why it's one of the best beverages in history. Not today at least! I want to draw your attention to this change... And how business owners should take note. Let me explain... The history of "Twist-off" caps dates back to the 1960s. The UK, USA, and Spain were the first countries to entertain this new innovation, and mass produce this new means of beverage preservation. The idea was simple. To find an alternative, more economic solution, to preserving the contents of a household bottle of drink. The first idea of a bottle cap was the "crown cap" designed and patented by William Painter back in 1892. With all things, problems with this cap were seen over years, and companies looked into a way to change the game. Now, if you know Supermalt, you would have been very used to the struggle with crown caps: 1. Grabbing a cold Supermalt from the fridge. 2. Getting ready to enjoy your drink. 3. Having to search for a bottle opener. 4. Then prying open the cap with all your might. If you're anything like my family, when the opener isn't around, using your teeth is the next best thing! But Supermalt has streamlined that process, to make their drinking experience taste that little bit sweeter. Despite the traditional view of what a Supermalt bottle is supposed to look like... They weren't afraid to change things around. Well done Supermalt. 👏 And yes...this was my personal bottle that I thoroughly enjoyed! SO WHAT'S THAT GOT TO DO WITH CONSULTING ⁉ When innovating, you have to ask yourself a few questions. I can imagine that the big corporations back in the 1960s asked themselves a key question... "How do I make the bottling experience better for the consumer, and the manufacturer?" What Supermalt has done may seem very small. But, it is a huge step to improving and increasing the value chain for their staple product. Switching to twist-off crown caps ultimately benefits both sides of the business model. By giving convenience to the consumer, and lowering production costs for the manufacturer. This is the quickest way to increase your value as a business. And you can do it in 3 simple steps: 1. Identify a "quick-win" to easily implement to your target customer. 2. Find a way to reduce the costs of implementation (think about ongoing costs for a service). 3. Search for an existing innovation that does these two things for your specific product/service. A very simple hack. For a very rewarding outcome. ———- If you like this post, and want to see more: 🔹 Click my profile. 🔹 Click "Message" or "Connect". 🔹 Say "Hi" 👋 . #managementconsulting #businessstrategy #valuechain #consultingtips #businessmodeling #valueproposition #innovation #supermalt
