Sales driver checklist

Look for price marks and extra free packs that demonstrate your offer of value
Take care not to devalue sales by over promotion, price marks should be able to stand alone without being discounted further
Look for packs that can help you compete with larger retailers in your area
Leave room for higher value teas like the Tetley Super range with added vitamins and EFSA approved health claims – a wow factor on shelf and on trend attracting high repeat purchase
Excite your customers about tea with themes and events to give them reason to buy. A healthy eating theme or a breakfast or celebration tea time event can benefit sales across a number of categories
