Unitas publishes new Plan for Profit impulse category guide

Unitas Wholesale has launched a new Plan for Profit impulse category guide, which highlights the core lines for independent retailers across confectionery, sweet snacking, crisps and soft drinks.

This guidance is updated annually to reflect changing customer behaviours and is developed alongside supporting category experts and a network of wholesalers, backed by the latest market data.

The design of the latest impulse guide has been simplified, with icons to easily identify the best-sellers within each sub-category and those that are new to the core range.

VAT-free products are clearly signposted, along with price-marked packs to reflect the important role these products play in improving shopper confidence and driving value. The guide also contains regional products to help with store profiling across different parts of the UK.

In addition to the core range listing, Unitas has included planograms and a greater focus on category insights within this year’s edition, enabling retailers to make a much more informed decision about the products they stock.

The impulse guide also includes High Fat Sugar & Salt (HFSS) Regulation Guidance, provided by the ACS, to help retailers prepare for this important new legislation coming into effect in October 2022.

Printed copies of the new Plan for Profit impulse category guide are available in selected Unitas Wholesale member depots, and an online version of the guide can be accessed at planforprofit.co.uk and via the Plan for Profit app.
