Need to know Plastic crackdown continues

Bottle it Following huge success in Sweden and Germany, the UK is now looking to introduce a deposit return scheme for single-use plastic bottles in a bid to increase recycling. How this will work is not yet certain. One option is for customers to pay a deposit when buying a drink which they get back when they return the empty plastic bottle. Alternatively, customers could receive a cash reward for returning

empty bottles to stores. This could be via ‘reverse vending machines’ installed within or outside local shops where customers return a plastic bottle and the machine gives out money.

recycle

Currently UK customers go through an estimated 13 billion plastic drinks bottles a year, but more than 3 billion are incinerated, sent to landfill or left to pollute the environment. In

Germany, this type of deposit scheme has led to a staggering 97% of bottles being recycled. While this is all really positive news for the environment, these measures may lead to a pressure for retailers to ensure the bottles are effectively recycled. However, nothing is set in stone as consultation will take place during the summer and will take into account feedback from producers, suppliers and consumers.

AB InBev commits to 100% green packaging by 2025 In a bid to reduce its impact on the environment, leading brewer AB InBev, which makes Budweiser, Stella Artois and Corona, among other brands, has committed to using 100% returnable or recyclable materials across its range by 2025.

Retailers are being encouraged to voluntarily introduce a charge on plastic bags ahead of a proposed blanket levy. The initiative has been launched by the Association of Convenience Stores and National Federation of Retailers following the launch of the government’s 25 Year Environment

Plan, which seeks to extend the plastic bag charging scheme to include small retailers. More than 40% of independent retailers already charge for plastic bags and 65% back compulsory charges for plastic bags in England, according to the Association of Convenience Stores.

Scottish stores helped with ban If your store is in Scotland, you may be given support to put voluntary bans in place on the sale of energy drinks to under 16s. Scottish National Federation of Retail Newsagents members will receive in-store posters which explain to customers why they can no longer sell “caffeine-packed drinks” to under 16s. Scottish president of NFRN Rory O’Brien said, “Our members in Scotland pride themselves on retailing responsibly so banning the sale of energy drinks to under 16s is a logical next step.” To read more about selling energy drinks to under 16s, turn to page 49.

Need to know

Invest in low-sugar drinks category Lifestyle Express is encouraging its retailers to stay ahead of the game by stocking up on low-sugar drinks following the Soft Drinks Industry Levy (SDIL) in April. The SDIL was introduced by the government to encourage soft drink manufacturers to reduce added sugar in soft drinks, providing healthier choices for consumers. “The levy provides a great opportunity to review the mix of full- and low-sugar drinks and increase your sales,” said Stuart Johnson, Retail Controller. “Retailers should be seeing a rise in demand for lowand no-sugar drinks, as well as consumers switching to still and sparkling water and flavoured water as an alternative to

high-sugar drinks. It’s essential that you think carefully about layout, range and stock so that you offer the range of zero- and low-sugar products your customers will be looking for.” “Don’t be concerned by the levy,” continues Stuart. “It represents a great opportunity for retailers to increase sales of low-sugar soft drinks. Currently, independent retailers are leading the way with a rise in sales of 12.1% compared to 7.8% in the overall market.”

Customers prefer to use convenience stores Does it seem like there are more convenience stores around? Well, there are! Convenience stores have increased in number by 17% since 2012, reflecting consumers’ desire to shop ‘little and often’, according to a new Local Data Company report.

In the know James Lowman, Chief Executive at Association of Convenience Stores, talks about crime

e recently published our annual Crime Report, looking at the overall scale and impact of crimes committed against the convenience sector, covering everything from staff theft and fraud to robberies and ram raids. The headline figures in the report paint a stark picture with almost a million incidents of shop theft reported by retailers over the last year and the total cost of crime amounting to almost £200m, equating to a 7p crime tax on every transaction in the sector. Measuring the national picture in our Crime Report is an important way of demonstrating why shop theft needs to be taken seriously. It is clear that in many areas around the UK, the current response to what is considered ‘low-level crime’ is neither consistent nor effective enough. We use the data in the Crime Report to raise concerns with Ministers, MPs, PCCs and leaders in the police and have written to all of them calling for more to be done to support retailers and their staff.

it’s personal But beyond the statistics, it’s important for us to highlight the very personal impact that crimes have on workers in stores. Retailers are on the front line, enforcing the law by refusing underage sales, stopping the sale of alcohol to people that are drunk and looking out for shop thieves on a daily basis. We know that these are the things that most often lead to violence and abuse in stores, and that dealing with abuse regularly can take its toll. Alongside the main Crime Report, we provide guidance which helps people working in stores prevent incidents happening altogether where possible, but when the worst does happen and serious crimes occur, also help to mitigate the human and business impact and ensure that the police have all the information they need. We’ve launched an animation for retailers to share with staff which shows how to manage situations that may lead to abuse or violence. Visit the ACS channel on YouTube to watch. Dealing with crime remains an all-too-common part of running a convenience store business. While there is no easy answer to the question of how to stop these incidents happening, we can make sure that everyone in the system works together to think of new ways to tackle the problem.

reusable cups. If you offer hot drinks, is this something you could explore in store? Why not do your bit towards the campaign by offering a small discount on hot drinks (such as 10p) for customers who bring their own reusable cups into store? Alternatively, you could increase your prices slightly (again, by 10p) and donate the extra cash you make to local charities. If you do choose to do this, make sure you let your customers know so they can get on board.

Notta lotta love for latte levy The proposed latte levy that captured UK headlines has been rejected by the government in favour of a voluntary action from retailers instead. The campaign recommended that a 25p levy should be placed on disposable cups, with the money raised being used to improve recycling facilities across the country. However, rather than imposing the tax on takeaway drinks, the government is instead encouraging customers to bring their own

Summer trends

ast summer, it was reported that rising temperatures boosted demand for alcohol by 6.8%. During the summer months, people are far more likely to stock up on alcohol than at any other time of the year as barbecues and outdoor events become more frequent, and impromptu get-togethers mean impulse buys which is great for you and your bottom line.

Gin-spirational growth

You may be (or may not, as the case may be) surprised to learn that the biggest jump in alcohol sales last summer was in fact gin, something that Nielsen attributed to the timing of Father’s Day. Sales rose 35% on the same period a year earlier. Gin sales in the UK have doubled in value in the last six years, reaching £1.2 billion in the past year according to a new market report by the Wine and Spirit Trade Association. Customers bought more than 47 million bottles in the 12 months to September 2017, up from 40 million bottles during the same previous period. This is the equivalent of a whopping 1.32 billion G&Ts. Gin has grown more than any other spirit sold in the UK so keep your shelves stocked up with popular gin brands such as Gordon’s and Bombay Sapphire. Don’t forget to have a range of tonics placed nearby to encourage upselling, plus fresh lemons and limes to remind customers who may not have thought about buying one to complement their drink.

Sun’s out, beers out

We all know that summer is the ideal time for beer sales. Retailers report sales spikes when the sun shines as customers rush to their closest convenience store to stock up. Research also shows bottles are more popular than cans during summer months and consumers are more likely to buy beer if it’s chilled, so be prepared for a rush when the sun makes an appearance. It’s essential that your chiller is spotlessly clean and constantly topped up to encourage sales. Don’t forget to shout about your range of chilled beers by advertising inside and outside your store.

20%

more cider and gin were sold in summer 2017 than during the previous summer Get to know your customers

According to Nielsen, beer shoppers come into store more frequently so look at what sells well and make those products a key focus alongside the bestsellers, such as Heineken and Budweiser. To be sure you’re stocking the bestselling products, always refer to the 2018 Lifestyle Express Planogram which you’ll have received earlier this year. To stay on top of the newest products, our ‘Ones to Watch’ pages are a great source of information. It also pays to keep on top of trends and the way your customers are shopping. AB

InBev says its Bud Light bottles are popular among 18–25 year olds, as many of them are more health conscious and opt for a lower-calorie option. It holds a repeat purchase rate of 29% which the company claims is nearly double what is expected of a new brand. It also says 43% of UK beer drinkers only drink bottled beer, as opposed to cans. Spirit beers is a fast-growing sub-category so dedicate a small section of your chiller to products such as Heineken’s Desperados range. Add a few key lines to your range to cater to every taste and point your customers in the direction of fresh limes ➥

“M

y biggest sellers during the summer are always the lighter, more refreshing drinks such as ciders, lagers and alcopops. There is a noticeable increase in demand for bottled beers and ciders during the summer months, compared to sales of cans. Fruit-flavoured ciders have been really popular for the past few years and sales of white and rosé wines always soar in the summer months. As a result, I always expand my lines to reflect increased demand. Don’t forget to chill them though, it’s essential that they're ready to drink,

to complement the drinks. Remember to identify your bestsellers and stock them at eye level for those shoppers on a grab-and-go mission. Simple, clear layouts mean shoppers will find what they’re after quickly and easily.

more alcohol in May, June and July 2017 compared to the same months in 2016

Craft beer boom

Craft beers continue to have strong appeal with UK shoppers. Last year, data revealed that craft beer accounted for £782m of beer sales and that customers are willing to pay more for craft beer – £4.55 versus £3.16 for a standard lager. For shoppers who are keen to support local businesses, why not check out if you have a local brewery and look at stocking their beers. If you do, remember to let your customers know that you stock local beers, both inside and outside your store.

Cross-sell

Consider cross-merchandising by creating a special display of beers, soft drinks, snacks and barbecue essentials so customers can easily find all they need for their upcoming occasion. Help the forgetful customers who may not have planned to stock up on beer when shopping for fresh meat or snacks for their upcoming barbecues. It’s a good idea to create a separate section that draws attention to your special offers, as customers are largely driven by value when it comes to their alcohol choices.

retailer issue 47 2018

ideal for impulse purchases or customers on their way to a BBQ or a party. Consider expanding your range to try new lines and if you introduce new stock, always make it prominent in store. I’ve discovered that an eye-catching stand always leads to a rise in sales. I always put new and popular products on multi-buy promotions which consistently gets great results. By offering three or four products at a set price, I increase my sales and my customers are happy, knowing that they have a bargain that they couldn’t get anywhere else.”

5.5%

Pink plonk

And it’s not just gin and beer that fare well during the summer months. During the heatwave of last summer, sales of rosé wine saw an increase of 58% during the warmest weeks. Ideal for picnics or barbecues, rosé is a refreshing tonic for customers wanting to bask in the summer sun. Wine experts have also put the soar in sales down to a new craze of frozen rosé or ‘frosé’ – a slushy ice cocktail made with rosé, lemon juice and sugar. In the lead up to barbecue season, why not stock up on the ingredients for this popular new cocktail? You could even encourage customers who may not have heard of the trend by placing the ingredients next to each other or pointing customers in the right direction with signage.

Get ready for kick off this June as the nation prepares to tune in for the FIFA World Cup

K retailers are set to increase their sales by billions this summer when Russia plays host to the FIFA World Cup. With nearly two-thirds of the country preparing to watch at least some of the tournament, this is an unmissable, highly lucrative opportunity to really boost your sales.

retailer issue 47 2018

Big night in

Back in 2014, more than 15m UK viewers tuned in from the comfort of their own homes to watch England’s opening World Cup match against Italy, with similar figures expected this summer. Get ready for a sales increase from the shoppers wanting to stock up on ‘Big Night In’ products and remember to keep an eye on stock levels at all times to

avoid disappointed customers. Stock up on chilled beers, wines and ciders as well as soft drinks for the designated drivers and under-18 fans. Sharing bags of snacks such as Doritos and accompanying dips are likely to be big sellers, and easy-to-cook foods such as frozen pizzas and garlic bread are also likely to shift quickly.

World Cup

Create in-store theatre leading up to the tournament and use any POS to really draw customers’ attention. Use the opportunity to upsell and encourage shoppers purchasing pizzas to also think about chilled beers or chocolate confectionery. Think about meal deals; offer a frozen pizza paired with a bottle of wine and a sharing bag of Doritos with accompanying dip for £10, for example.

Thinking outside the pitch

Barbecues are likely to be even more popular than usual this summer if the weather is on our side, with people hosting them for their family and friends before the game starts. Stock up on fresh meats and sides such as bread buns and potatoes and think about additional products such as plastic cups and disposable tablecloths. Don’t forget the children who will want to get involved just as much as the grown-ups. Keep them entertained by stocking outdoor toys such as footballs and water pistols which will prompt impulse buys and boost your sales.

The match

According to Chris Leek, Buying Groups Account Controller at AB InBev, sport presents the perfect occasion for in-home beer consumption. “While watching football is a social event already, this will only be amplified during the World Cup,” Chris said. “This year’s tournament will present opportunities for retailers to capitalise on beer’s strength: football. Beer reaches more consumers during the World Cup than at other times of the year; the eight-week period around the tournament sees a spike in beer’s penetration equivalent to the population of Birmingham.” So, with figures like that, it’s essential that convenience retailers can compete with the supermarkets. It makes sense to stock up on large packs which will be in demand in the lead up to the

tournament, and think about special offers. Once the tournament has started, shoppers tend to shop in smaller top-up amounts, which is when convenience retailers really have the chance to shine. This is where mid-sized packs of eight to 12 come into their own, as they are best suited for customers watching the match at home. Bud Light is the biggest driver for standard lager growth in the UK, whereas Stella Artois is the best-selling premium lager mid-pack size for impulse buys. “Shoppers are also willing to spend more on beer during this occasion than other events, such as dinner parties and movie nights. Having said that, there is an opportunity to increase spend during this occasion, with mid-sized packs presenting the ideal ➥

World Cup

opportunity to do so in convenience stores,” Chris explains. Research has discovered that 81% of people are likely to purchase beer in preparation for watching a sporting event on TV as opposed to just 52% for an average movie night or 62% for a dinner party. The average spend per occasion on beer for watching a sporting event on TV is £26.31 in comparison to £22 for a movie night and £25.91 for a dinner party. “Watching sports tends to be a sociable event, lasting for longer than just the duration of the game,” Chris continued. “Our research suggests that the way people consume beer during a sporting event is determined by when it is on TV. Weekend matches in particular are longer, more social and heavier on alcohol; it will be important for a convenience retailer to be stocked up on not only small packs of four or six, but also mid-sized packs of eight to twelve at key points during the World Cup. “The World Cup’s size and duration means that mid-sized packs are the bestselling options. While the traditional four pack is still very important, it sees its share of sales decline during the World Cup, with the gap being filled with mid-sized packs,” Chris concluded. If in doubt about what to stock and in what quantity, start with the 2018 Lifestyle Express Planogram which will ensure you have all the bestselling brands.

Promotion fever

Retailers will be quids in this summer thanks to the latest Landmark Wholesale promotion. Through sales figures and industry data, Landmark has identified the bestselling products for a night in watching the big game and has negotiated some truly excellent promotional deals on every single one. And, as an added bonus, Lifestyle Express retailers can earn Cashback vouchers if they buy all 12 products, which have proven track records when it comes to impressive sales and customer satisfaction. The promotion, which runs from 4–23 June exclusively in Landmark member depots, is an opportunity for retailers to access some of the biggest brands at the smallest prices.

If you can, stocking fresh meat is a must when it comes to preparing for barbecue season; beef burgers, sausages and chicken legs are all national favourites, so be sure to have a selection in your chillers. Bread buns are also important, along with the bits and bobs that may well have been forgotten on your shoppers’ lists such as napkins, plastic cups, plastic plates and cocktail sticks. Consider cross-merchandising by creating a special display of beers, soft drinks, snacks and barbecue essentials so customers can easily find all they need for their event. Signpost your offers and keep a list of upcoming key dates and events, such as World Cup games, Wimbledon and the August bank holiday to tie in special offers or barbecue-related promotions.

top tip

Hot customers want to grab and go, so make your ice cream section visible with signposting or if possible, pop an ice cream freezer near the front door so shoppers can find it quickly.

Use the 2018 Lifestyle Express Planogram as, by following these plans, you’ll know you’re stocking the bestselling products your customers want and need this summer and beyond.

Soft drink success

Driven by the need to keep cool and hydrated, soft drinks sales rocket during the summer months. You’re also likely see an increase in your soft drinks sales during this time as a result of the Soft Drinks Industry Levy, so keep a constant eye on stock levels and make a note of your top sellers so you can be prepared for next year. Make sure you refer to the 2018 Lifestyle Express Planogram to ensure you’re stocking the bestselling products. Shoppers are likely to get frustrated if they can’t find their desired product quickly, so don’t clutter your chillers with too many options and make sure you’re stocked up with firm favourites. Shoppers will expect to see the well-known brands, but keep up to date with the latest popular product releases. Take a peek at our Ones to Watch pages to help you keep on top of the latest must-haves for your chiller.

Holiday essentials

Picture the scene: you’ve locked up the house ready to go on the summer holiday you’ve been looking forward

retailer issue 47 2018

to for ages. You finally get the whole family in the car – seatbelts on, neatly packed suitcases in the boot and three hours to go until check-in at the airport. It’s then that you suddenly remember – you forgot to pack the toothpaste. Your store will be a lifeline to hundreds of families across the UK in this exact situation. Even more so if you’re close to a beach, an airport or a motorway. It’s virtually impossible to go on holiday and successfully remember absolutely everything you need, so dedicate a section of your store to summer essentials to take advantage of the opportunity. Don’t forget the daily essentials too, such as shampoo, conditioner and toothpaste as these things can easily be forgotten or overlooked. Batteries, sun cream and medicines will also be in demand and

customers rely on their local store to have these available. If your store is by the beach or in a tourist spot, be extra savvy by stocking a selection of umbrellas for the holidaymakers that didn’t bank on rain. For customers not buying last minute but just visiting your store as part of their daily routine, this is a great chance to cross-sell. While they’re buying their groceries, remind them using POS to purchase their holiday essentials in advance. Additional products they might not have thought of are freezer bags and Tupperware boxes – ideal for customers wanting to clear the fridge before they go on holiday. Remember to try and be fairly competitive with your pricing, especially if you have nearby competition, as large stores such as Boots and major supermarkets will have huge summer sections so your customers may well go elsewhere if they feel they can get a better deal. But first thing’s first, it’s time to remember where you put the fan...

Despite the fact that their new store is less than six months old, Venkat and Sumi are already planning their next venture – a third store. “We’ve dreamt about this for a long, long time. We’ve both worked in retail for years but we always knew we wanted to own our own business one day,” said Sumi. “We longed for the freedom of owning our own store and we knew we had the vision to make it exactly what we want. So, three years ago we bought our first store nearby. We were lucky actually as it was made easy for us; our first store was already Lifestyle Express and very little needed changing, so we just nurtured it while we started planning our second store.” “It’s been really interesting going from one store to two,” said Venkat. “We felt it was really important that we had an active involvement in both stores, so Sumi spends most of her time at this store whereas I spread my time between both stores to make sure everything is running smoothly. It’s doubled my work load, but I’ve really enjoyed the challenge. I even do the paper round every day, so it’s a good job I like to be busy!” ➥

For Sumi, the most important thing is looking after your customers: “Whether it’s just by opening the front door and greeting them with a friendly smile or helping them around store by carrying their goods for them while they shop, it’s really important to be there for your customers,” she said. “Some of our customers are less able and mobile than others.

It’s small things like that that I know our customers really appreciate. Going the extra mile makes all the difference.”

The road to success When Catriona struggled to pull in the shoppers after two major supermarkets opened nearby, she turned to Lifestyle Express for help and hasn’t looked back since

tore manager Catriona McQueen looks out at the pouring rain from the warmth of her Lifestyle Express store on the A9 in Dornoch, Scotland. “Well, it doesn’t feel like summer, does it?” she laughs dryly. Cup of steaming coffee in hand, Catriona’s ready to tackle Monday’s tasks after enjoying a relaxing weekend off. As the manager of her parents’ business, she oversees the running of not only the Lifestyle Express store but also the adjoining restaurant, garage and filling station. “My parents bought the business 15 years ago. I worked for the local council at the time but eventually it just became too much for them so I came on board to help out – and I never left,” she explained. It’s been a busy few months for Catriona. Not only did she reopen her independent store as a Lifestyle Express last November, but she

also extended the store’s offering by adding several new features, including a hot drinks machine and baked goods. “My feet have barely touched the ground,” she said. “It’s been wonderful to watch all my plans and ideas unfold and we’re definitely reaping the rewards now.”

Prime position

Catriona knows she’s in a great position as her store is the only petrol station for more than 40 miles on the A9, the longest road in Scotland which runs from Falkirk to Scrabster Harbour in Thurso in the far north. “There’s now a rule that you can’t build on the A9, but ours was built before that rule came in, so we’re in a great position as we’re the last petrol station on the road until you get down to Inverness. It’s great because we obviously get a lot of

passing trade,” she explained. “The caravanners are a huge source of revenue for us, especially during the summer months. Many holidaymakers will pass us on their way down south and call in to pick up some last-minute essentials on their way. Those travelling via caravan will often pop in for holiday groceries too, so we always make sure we’re stocked up on confectionery, crisps, and grocery items such as tins of beans, cereals and milk. It pays to know who your customers are and make sure you’re always stocked up on what they may be looking for.”

Facing obstacles

It’s not all been plain sailing for Catriona. Her store faced trouble when a large Tesco and Asda both opened for business 15 minutes away. “They sold fuel cheaper than we could buy it, so it was a real challenge,” Catriona said. Despite her store being in a prime position, Catriona found that many of her customers were heading to the new stores for cheaper fuel prices. “And once they were there, they would inevitably pick up their other bits and bobs such as groceries too,” she continued. “It was tough, but I decided to ride the storm out and looked at how I could refresh the store to attract customers back. I couldn’t reduce my fuel prices so I had to look elsewhere for ideas. It was then that I got in touch with the Lifestyle Express team. “They were absolutely fantastic. Derek helped us through the ➥

I really couldn’t have asked for more and the store looks stunning. We have the new grey fascia and we always get positive comments from shoppers telling us how smart and modern the store looks now.

ADDING VALUE

“It was then that I got in touch with the Lifestyle Express team. They were absolutely fantastic. I really couldn’t have asked for more and the store looks stunning”

But Catriona didn’t stop there. “I wanted to offer my customers something I knew they couldn’t get elsewhere so we installed a hot drinks machine as a trial. If I’m honest, I really wasn’t sure it’d be a hit. If anything, I was doubtful that it would, but I’m glad to say I was wrong!,” she laughed. “It’s been a huge success and gets used several times a day. It’s always great to see a risk pay off, and it certainly has.” She wasn’t done yet, though. Determined to really get the customers swarming back to her store, Catriona decided to start offering a range of fresh bread, cakes and rolls supplied by a local baker. She knew this would perfectly complement the fresh sandwiches stocked in store that are made daily next door at her restaurant. “People who lived nearby expressed an interest in baked goods and so we trialled it and, like the hot drinks machine, it was really successful.”

The secret to her success

For Catriona, customer service is key. “Providing great customer service is the name of the game in this industry. Once you’ve managed to get customers into your store, it’s important to look after them. I learned quickly to always take on board what the customers want, so if I get a few requests for a particular item I ➥

All our staff and make sure know the importance of a friendly smile and they pride themselves on being as you’re always helpful as possible.” stocked up on So, what does the future hold for Catriona what they’re and her team? “I’m really looking forward to sitting back and enjoying the store now looking for” the initial hard work is done. It’s been a busy few months to get the look and feel just right and I’m confident that the changes we’ve put in place will benefit the store for many years to come. I know the worst thing you can do is get complacent though, so I’ll continually keep an eye out for new ideas to try and ways I can improve the store by talking to Lifestyle Express and reading the trade press. Time doesn’t stand still in retail and there will always be exciting ways to grow and develop.”

energy drinks? As campaigners call for a crackdown on the sale of energy drinks to under 16s, with the backing of UK supermarkets, where do you stand?

he sale of energy drinks to children aged 16 and under is a topic that’s been hitting the headlines for several years now and it shows no sign of stopping any time soon. As a 2014 report from the World Health Organization stated, “As energy drink sales are rarely regulated by age and there is a proven negative effect of caffeine on children, there is the potential for a significant public health problem in future” and it’s clear that the debate is far from over. So are energy drinks really so bad? Well, the National Association of Schoolmasters Union of Women Teachers thinks so. They have blamed energy drink guzzling for poor

behaviour in school and have called for some much-needed research in the area. And it’s not just teachers objecting to energy drinks for under 16s. Last January, celebrity chef Jamie Oliver launched a campaign calling for a ban on sales of energy drinks to children. The campaign follows research suggesting that children are more susceptible than adults to the stimulant effects of caffeine. This is because they have lower body mass and are less likely to have built up a tolerance to the effects of caffeine. As a direct result of this bad press, major UK supermarkets have stopped the sale of energy drinks to customers under 16. Anyone who attempts to buy a soft drink ➥

And it’s not just children that find energy drinks appealing. A staggering 80% of men aged 16–24 drink sports and energy drinks regularly. So, what’s the difference between sports drinks and energy drinks, and is it ever OK for children to consume either? Putting it simply, sports drinks contain no stimulants, just carbohydrates and salts which replace water and electrolytes lost through sweating after activity. Unlike energy drinks, they can be consumed before, during and after an activity for

optimum hydration. And as for being consumed by children, some reports claim that sports drinks might even be better than water for children because of their electrolytes and carbohydrates, but health experts suggest parents should limit their children’s consumption of sports drinks due to their sugar content and artificial colouring. In contrast, energy drinks are packed with artificial stimulants, usually sugar and caffeine, which are both bad news for under 16s. Not only do they cause a temporary boost to energy levels followed by an energy crash a couple of hours later, but they also act as a diuretic, causing the kidneys to pull more water out of the bloodstream than the digestive system can consume from the drink, resulting in dehydration.
