Parfetts Go Local Granulated Sugar has been introduced by the brand in a price-marked pack (PMP) in a bid to expand on its existing range of PMPs and build positive sentiment amongst shoppers. The product will come in at £1.09 per kilogram, which is communicated to shoppers directly on the pack, to offer customers a way to keep a closer eye on their in-store spend. The product is expected to be right at home within the existing range of more than 250 options that cover grocery, impulse and licensed categories.
Own Brand Manager Mike Kerrigan commented on the Parfetts Go Local Granulated Sugar saying, "Own Brand is central to our strategy to help retailers compete in everyday categories. Sugar is a high-volume cupboard essential and a proven driver of footfall. By introducing a clear, competitive price-marked pack in a one-kilogram format, we are giving retailers a trusted option that delivers value for shoppers while protecting margin in store.”
