Another retailer resource?
We were rather interested to hear of yet another big wholesaler chain to revamp their website (following Sugro), offering advice and help to retailers. Today's Group has launched Plan for Profit with a view to helping retailers with their ranging and marketing across all manner of grocery categories. Whilst it has some nice ideas, we feel that its assitance is a little limited at the moment, but hopefully this will change.
Once you have logged into the website, you can view the core product ranges (as determined by Today's) for each category (you will find confectionery under "impulse"). Of course Today's only focuses on the main brands here so only delve in if that is your thing.
Another interesting area is the POS Printer. With the potential to be really rather good, we think the results are a little limited at the moment, but for retailers who don't have access to any artworking software it does provide a uniform system for A4 posters, for Today's core range at least!
An interesting development that Sweet Retailing will keep an eye on and certainly a step in the right direction from Today's.

Sugro gives branded advice
If you focus on retailing the big confectionery brands, you might like to take a quick look at the new Sugro website. We registered and found that we could see the top 50 branded SKUs listed, as quoted by AC Neilson. There are also a number of planograms to consider, depending on the size of your allocated space.
Perhaps the most interesting facility is full details and images of display equipment offered by Cadbury, Mars and Nestle. From small counter top contraptions to much larger creations, you can make an enquiry about their availability direct from the website.
