The key to a successful Convenience Store is continuous improvement. You need to re-appraise your store and your offer on a regular basis to ensure you have the products and services that your Customers are looking for whilst providing them in a modern, bright and well laid out shopping environment. A new year brings new opportunities but, if you do nothing different, you can expect the same results as last year - or can you? Many people would suggest that to stand still is to move backwards! The finest way to improve your stores turnover and profit levels is to consider upgrading your store by investing in a full refit. The stores and Retailers who have upgraded to Lifestyle Evolution standard have reaped the benefits
with an on average 25% increase in turnover on top of a previous average 29% increase when they joined the group. Upgrading to a full refit will produce significant results but requires a significant investment. This is not always possible for every Retailer, however there are many things that you can do at little or no cost that will have a positive effect on your turnover and profits. continued on p3

Introduction Happy New Year! Welcome to the first issue of Retailer Matters for 2011. With the busy key trading period of Christmas and New Year behind us, now is the perfect time to reflect on what your business achieved in 2010. Our feature on looking ahead to New Year Opportunities lists a few examples of things you could do to make 2011 the year that your business really takes off!
Stuart Johnson Retail Controller Landmark Wholesale
Also in this issue we take a close look at Own Label Products and the key reasons why you should offer your Customers a value alternative as well as the Brand leading best sellers. Our feature on the increasing popularity of the ÂŁ1 price point and creating a ‘Pound Zone’ within your store will also help you convey the message that you offer good value to your Customers.
I am sure that you will also find the ‘Get To Know Your Customer’ feature very interesting as it points to shopper missions, the reasons why Customers are motivated to visit convenience stores.
I hope 2011 is a happy and prosperous year for you all.

1. R eview the range of services that you offer Do you accept Credit Cards, do you have an ATM Machine, do you accept Bill Payments and Mobile Phone E-Top Up? It is important to have as many reasons as possible for Customers to visit your store. People who use these services often make additional purchases whilst in store. On average Customers who pay by credit or debit card spend more money than Customers using cash.
2. Stock the Core Range of Best Selling Products The 700 products listed in our price guide are the core range of best sellers and essential products. By stocking these best sellers, you will ensure that you have all the best selling Branded and Lifestyle Own Brand products that your Customers want, enabling your business to grow.
3. Ensure that you fully support your Promotion Package
5. Upgrade your Store Have your store professionally planned and refitted and really see your turnover and profit levels take off. If you cannot stretch to a full redevelopment but still wish to improve your store, plan to do things in stages, upgrade one area of your store each year, i.e. new shelving this year, new refrigeration next year, new floor and ceiling the year after etc. Creating the right look and feel really does have a positive impact on your sales and profit margins.
By making full use of the promotions available to you, you will further maximise your sales and profit potential. Ensure you display promotions in a prominent position, have a dedicated promotion-end display and use off-shelf displays to ensure your deals get noticed. Fully utilise your promotion shelf cards and posters. Your Customers are used to buying goods on promotion at the multiples; they now also expect to find promotion deals when they shop locally.
4. Consider adding a Food To Go option More and more people eat out of the home or on the move. Is your store on a busy road or do you have schools and colleges, offices, factories or other places of work nearby? Maybe a Food To Go offer with hot savouries, pastries and sandwiches could make a real difference to your business. Or maybe test the water with an entry level coffee machine, a microwave, sandwiches and some thaw-and-serve cakes.
7. I mprove your general store standards Try to look at your store like a Customer sees it and ask yourself the following questions • Is the store tidy and uncluttered? • Are the aisles free of obstructions so that customers can freely move around? • Are the shelves, counter and refrigeration clean? • Is the stock on the shelves tidy and faced up to the front? • Are there gaps on the shelves where stock should be, particularly best sellers? • Is the entrance to the store tidy and inviting, or are there crates, bread trays and lots of old POS stickers on the doors and windows? • Is the floor clean and are all the lights switched on? These are all very basic things but they make a huge difference to how Customers view your store and the beauty is, that these basic things cost nothing to get right.
6. Ensure you have enough chilled space Whether soft drinks, beer or wine, sales success is all about chilled. Studies show that 75% of these products purchased from convenience stores are consumed within 2 hours, therefore, having the correct amount of space to display these categories chilled is vital to your future success. By always having plenty of chilled stock available and well merchandised your store will become a destination for these categories.

8. Join a Symbol Group If you are not already in a group this is a sure fire way to make a huge difference to your business. Retailers who join Lifestyle Express benefit from a professional planning and merchandising service, have access to new fascias and graphics and get lots of advice about the right range to stock and promotions to support. On average an Independent Retailers turnover grows by 29% upon joining Lifestyle Express.
9. Install an Epos System If used correctly, Epos systems are a very powerful tool that can help you increase your profit margins and control your stock,
they can also help you to identify products that are performing well or even not selling. Epos systems also give you a great deal of control when deciding upon and implementing retail prices.
Whatever you do, make a resolution to do something positive with your store in 2011. Whether making an investment or not, you can do something that your Customers will notice and your sales will grow!
Retailer Matters | 05
Get to Know Your Customers Understanding shopper missions is vitally important to enable Independent Retailers to identify new sales opportunities. Each year 30,000 Convenience Store shoppers are interviewed across 42 C-Store formats for him!’s Convenience Tracking Programme (CTP), revealing some useful insights on shopper missions. The largest group (39%) of Customers visiting a C-Store are on a ‘top-up’ mission, meaning that they are buying a small basket of grocery essentials (bread, milk, fruit & veg, etc.) in between their larger shopping trips. On average the top-up shopper will spend £6.21 and visit 4.1 times a week, making them the highestspending shopper. The next biggest sector (28%) of Customers are on a newsagent mission (news, cigarettes, services, etc.). They will spend on average £3.89 and visit the store 4.4 times a week, as they visit the store most frequently, you have
more opportunities to sell to them. There is no price differential between C-Stores and supermarkets for many of the top selling lines, like newspapers, lottery and magazines. More than one in five shoppers (22%) are on a food-for-now mission, to buy food and drink for consumption out of home (sandwiches, hot food, hot drinks, snacks from in-store bakery, etc.). This leaves 4% of Customers who are on a food-for-tonight mission, and 2% of Customers who are on a celebration mission (buying gifts, flowers and cards). Understanding these missions is invaluable when it comes to planning your trading strategy, especially in tough economic times. For example, notice how the old favourites of milk and bread are the most important categories in the most important missions.

matchmaker? Try matching each dish with a wine. The Hardys Stamp of Australia range is an easy-drinking style which complements many foods. Try the crisp and refreshing Hardys Stamp Semillon Chardonnay with chicken or pasta. Like a kick to your meal? Try the Hardys Stamp Rosé with a spicy curry. Why not pair the Hardys Stamp Shiraz Cabernet with a hearty stew or pizza?

Capitalise on these findings by identifying the top cross-purchased categories and bring associated lines close together in-store, don’t make shoppers walk from one end of the store to the other to buy products which typically get bought together. For example, only 4% of shoppers who were “buying food for dinner tonight” also bought alcohol. Is this a missed opportunity? Clearly zone your range based on the missions of your Customers with the appropriate signage. And don’t forget that Customers within half a mile radius account for over 65% of the spend coming in to stores so it is important to communicate with those living and working nearby. Consumers receiving leaflets from their local store visit more frequently, spend more per trip, buy more items on promotion and have a greater awareness of what is sold in store.
06 | Retailer Matters
Make More of Your Own Brands According to the him! recession study, 30% of baskets contain an Own Brand product and 38% of UK shoppers say they will be buying more Own Brand products in the future. But only 8% of shoppers are actually buying more Own Label products in C-Stores compared with a year ago.
This presents a huge opportunity to sell more Own Brand and increase margins. Margins on Own Brand goods are higher than those on similar Branded products and though Consumers generally used to see them as low-cost imitations of Branded products, they have overcome this reputation and achieved significant growth in recent years. Own Brands can help you build value and recognition from your Customers; they give you a point of difference in the marketplace, an opportunity to build loyalty and offer a high quality alternative to Brands at a lower price. It is important for Independent Retailers to offer a good Own Brand product range, to ensure they cater for all local shopping missions. It is also important to have an understanding of the current economic situation where Customers are looking for a value alternative to the Brands and the importance of a value offer to the Independent Sector. Landmark Wholesale has a comprehensive range of Own Brand products across all key categories. All products offer “Great Value Everyday” to all Independent Retailers and their Customers.
Within the total range, it is strongly recommended that Retailers stock a Core 122 Retail lines. Landmark Wholesale Depots now provide a handy “Core-Range shopping list” combined with clear POS to make it easy for Retailers to find and buy the most important products to stock. These will give all Retailers a fantastic POR whilst offering their Customers great value for money.
Landmark Wholesale Own Brands – An Overview.
“Over recent years the multiples have made Own Label product acceptable to consumers so that they now feature in practically everyone’s shopping basket, This means that Consumers will now also look for better value Own Label products when shopping locally. It is vital for Independent Retailers to stock a range of Own Label products across all categories.”
Lifestyle is Landmark Wholesale’s long established and highly successful Own Brand range offering excellent quality and value across hundreds of grocery products available to all Independent Retailers. Lifestyle Value is the price marked, economy range of everyday grocery and non-food products which complements the Lifestyle Brand.

eye-catching packaging all offering high quality product and retailing at less than half the price of the leading Brands whilst still giving over 40% POR. The licenced Own Brand range includes Scandia Lager, White Storm and Eridge Vale Ciders. The Prince Consort range of Own Brand spirits includes Whisky, Gin, Vodka, Brandy, Light and Dark Rums in a variety of bottle sizes to suit every taste and every pocket. Within the Independent Sector there is a clear opportunity for a high quality, competitively priced, well packaged range of wines from all over the world and the Vintners Collection specifically addresses this opportunity. The range has won many awards including medals and commendations in The International Wine Challenge. La Flamenca Spanish table wines have been specifically developed to hit the table wine price point and compete with the multiples on both price and multibuys. Four La Flamenca varieties; red, dry white, medium white and rose, offer value-for-money, great taste and an excellent POR.
Landmark Wholesale was the first cash & carry to launch an own brand cigarette, No3, in 1983. Today, No3 is a well-established Brand and, as the cigarette market continues to fragment and the budget sector continues to grow, No3’s ongoing success is assured. The recent launch of No3 Hand Rolling Tobacco was prompted by the 30% growth in hand rolling tobacco sales in the UK over the last two years.

What’s On in 2011 Easter followed by the Royal Wedding followed by the May Day Bank Holiday means that 2011 will give us the biggest opportunity for increased sales and profits that we’ve had for years. Gifting is still a huge untapped opportunity within the Convenience Sector. Him! Research shows that 27% of shoppers would use their local store for gift purchases. However, unless they can find what they’re looking for, they will go elsewhere for their gifts.
Get the offering right and it can bring you lots of extra sales and it doesn’t necessarily require a huge amount of time or effort to do it. Making the most of special events can just mean a bit of fine-tuning to your existing range and merchandising. For gifting occasions, 55% of Shoppers are looking to buy a card, 31% a box of chocolates, 11% buy flowers, 8% buy alcohol such as spirits and liqueurs and 4% buy champagne or wine. Confectionery is a key driver in gift sales and the three occasions of Easter, Mothering Sunday and Valentine’s Day are vitally important for exciting and re-engaging shoppers with confectionery following the Christmas period. Cadbury recommends starting early when it comes to Easter and stocking up on Creme Eggs from 1st January so as not to miss early sales. Boxed chocolates are a huge seller during these periods and is widely associated with a romantic gesture and is therefore ideal for Valentine’s Day. Premium Gifting is on

Although it is almost impossible for Independent Retailers to compete with the Multiples on price across the range of shelled eggs, there are many other areas of the Easter market where Independents can do well. Whilst standard shell eggs have lost ground, filled eggs and mini eggs have increased their market share.
Easter weekend is a major opportunity for smaller stores. Large Stores (over 280 sq m) and Multiples cannot open at all on Easter Sunday (except in Scotland). If Consumers need a last minute purchase on Easter Sunday, the Independent Store is the place to fulfil this requirement. So make sure you are prepared by stocking up on the general everyday ‘top up’ items as well as the traditional Easter products.
Lots of us will be spending the Royal Wedding Bank Holiday in front of the TV and we won’t want to miss a minute of this unique ceremonial occasion. Stock up on ready meals, convenience foods and licensed goods and don’t forget to chill some wines (including sparkling), beers and ciders.
Shoppers want Easter to be special and often trade-up to luxury eggs and premium lines for gifts. Combine this with add-on purchases such as champagne, hot cross buns and Easter cards, and it can prove to be a lucrative period.

Warm beer and cider isn’t cool Tips for Easter, Mother’s Day & Valentine’s Day • Stock a range of products to appeal to all shoppers • Merchandise all these products together • Use POS to make sure your customers find them • Multi-site fast selling, high impulse lines like filled and mini eggs at Easter • Focus on flowers and boxes of chocolate for Mother’s & Valentine’s Day
•
Chilled products will really set you aside from supermarkets, but don't just chill lager, cider and some ale needs to be chilled too.
•
Around 3/4 of beer and cider purchases are made from the chiller so merchandise it well.
•
Stock your chiller with small and medium sized packs.
•
Fridays and Saturdays are your busiest times - ensure your chiller carries sufficient stock of the biggest sellers for this peak time.
•
Shoppers will return to purchase chilled drinks so have the top 10 products ready for them all the time.

Stock Up for a Happy, Healthy New Year New Year is a time when people like to make resolutions like eating more healthily and trying to get back into shape after the seasonal excesses. So make sure that you’re stocked up with plenty of fresh fruit and veg, five-a-day will be a goal that many of your Customers are aiming for. At this time of year there are lots of wonderful root vegetables in season such as carrots, parsnips, swedes and turnips, all perfect for hearty winter dishes. Frozen fruit and veg, as well as fresh, tinned and dried, all count towards the 5-a-day target.

Some foods can help shift the pounds when they’re included in diet meal plans, apples, beans, broccoli, chicory, citrus fruit, nuts and seeds, onions, peppers, pineapple, radishes and wholemeal bread for example. And certain ‘power foods’ can give a real boost to health by
working to heal and nourish: carrots, tomatoes, walnuts, blueberries, oats, beans, salmon, soy, tea and greens. Soups are always popular at this time of year so stock a good range including some fresh soups and Own Brands. Warming winter soups are an easy-to-serve and popular food-to-go option too. Drinking more water is a great way to stay healthy. Water is essential for the body’s growth and maintenance; it moves nutrients around the system and it helps the body get rid of waste. It also contains valuable minerals, boosts immunity and keeps skin elastic. It’s even believed that high water intake can help reduce the risk of chronic health problems including
Alzheimer’s, multiple sclerosis, diabetes, high blood pressure and osteoporosis. We lose 2 litres of water every 24 hours so we need to constantly rehydrate. If you don’t consume enough you can become dehydrated, causing symptoms such as headaches, tiredness and loss of concentration. Chronic dehydration can contribute to a number of health problems such as constipation and kidney stones. Most healthy adults need between one and a half to three litres a day. Tap water’s all very well but, in many areas, it just doesn’t taste that good so a range of Own Brand and Branded bottled waters will always be popular, and don’t forget to keep some smaller sizes in the chiller.

Category Focus
Breakfast Cereals No. 1 for Breakfast 97% of households bought cereal last year making it the most popular form of breakfast in the UK. The category is worth £152m in the convenience market and growing by 2% year-on-year. There are 16 billion breakfast occasions in the UK and a further 4 billion skipped breakfast occasions – nearly 50% (27 million) of us aren’t eating breakfast every day, so there is still plenty of room to grow the category.
How to ensure retail success It is important to have the right range for your store and to make the most of your selling space. Kellogg’s recommends a category core range and offers a set of merchandising principles to help implement this.
Shoppers spend less than two minutes on average in store, and if they can’t find what they want they leave without purchasing. In store POS has been proven to increase sales, Kellogg’s offers a range of solutions from promotional POS to the perfect fixture to help you maximise sales.
Cereal shoppers are important to convenience stores – they spend around ÂŁ5 more per trip than the average shopper and deliver lost sales if their required Brands aren’t available (38% of convenience shoppers would ‘go without’ if their preferred brand of cereal was not available). Availability of product has overtaken value for money as being the most important factor for convenience store cereal shoppers.
• Being able to buy their favourite product is most important to your customer, availability is key
