Price-marked packs (PMPs) have surged in popularity as shoppers seek out ways to better predict their bills, which is seeing more brands come on board as seen with Marshalls Macaroni. The brand is introducing 400-gram packs with a £1.19 price point emblazoned right onto the top section of the packaging to help it stand out on store shelves. Targeted towards the convenience store channel, the macaroni packs are perfect for shoppers looking for an easy way to keep their bill low.
Retail Commercial Director James Palmer spoke on the Marshalls Macaroni PMP saying, "We’re proud to continue our support for the convenience channel with our latest price-marked pack, and a first for our iconic Marshalls Macaroni brand. The £1.19 RRP represents accessible value to shoppers in a challenging economic climate, and the convenient six-pack helps store owners to keep costs low and shelves full.”
