New 105g 99p PMP
Sensations has upweighted its 100g pack to 105g and extended its 99p price mark across the 4 top selling skus: Thai Sweet Chilli, Lime and Thai Spices, Caramelised Onion & Sweet Balsamic Vinegar and Oven Roasted Chicken with Lemon & Thyme.
The PMP products are ideal for the impulse channel and will enable retailers to better differentiate the new 105g range and drive continued sales. A Thai Sweet Chilli PMP clip strip will also be introduced to help retailers drive visibility in store. Available now.
David Biggs, Walkers Impulse Director comments: “New Szechuan Spice is one of the strongest performing flavours we've tested with consumers. We are confident it will be a huge success in the impulse channel in both the 40g and 175g formats.
“The upweight to 105g packs across 4 of our key flavours at a 99p price mark will help further differentiate the range and offer incremental opportunities for impulse retailers.
“Seven of the Top 10 selling SKUs are Walkers and retailers are encouraged to stock up on the best selling crisps and snacks. Ensuring they offer a range of Sensations in both impulse and sharing formats will also help them to capitalise on all year round sales.”
