Hancocks Cash and Carry has re-designed its range of bagged children’s ‘3 for 99p’ sweets. The range encompasses 24 different varieties of children’s sweets including Jelly Beans, Porky Pigs, Flying Saucers and Fizzy Cola Bottles. The company’s range-specific display stand has also been updated.
The portion controlled bags are price marked at 39p each, which rewards the retailer with a 36% margin. Alternatively, retailers can still earn a high margin selling at 3 for 99p. “The new design will help to refresh the range in many independent stores and give retailers a lift in their sales” says Jonathan Summerley, Hancocks purchasing director.
