Range Review
The quality of product sold through your shop or Foodhall is fundamentally how you will be judged. Each location or market place requires an in-depth assessment before putting the final range together.

Pricing
We can advise on the correct pricing and margin strategies, taking into account market sensitivity, shelf life and wastage to achieve target margins.

Merchandising
Creative and logical product presentation, location and adjacencies are vital in the success of any retail offer. Furthermore the fixtures on which the product are presented are essential in creating an appropriate trading environment..
WINE (RETAIL)
The fundamentals of good wine retailing relate closely to those of a good restaurant wine list. That said, the retail customer has more time to browse and in a very different environment – nuances that are important to understand. Our in depth experience of wine retail has given us a clear appreciation of these differences.

Range
The local market and competition are very important considerations when putting your wine retail range together. We can assess this market before preparing a skeleton range for presentation.

Product Development
We can advise on the development of private label products for your wine store that reflect the image you want to portray. Wines carrying your logo often dictate how your whole offer is judged, they are therefore crucial to the overall success of the business.

Sourcing
We have long-standing relationships with top suppliers around the world and an in depth knowledge of industry trends.

Greed is a dangerous thing in the wine retail trade and the downfall of many new businesses. Through careful selection we can ensure that you make the higher margins on your exclusive lines whilst maintaining a competitive edge on better known brands and houses.

Merchandising
Is it precious or fun? Wine retailing spans a diverse range of price points and our aim is to advise how the retailer can attract the widest possible customer base through creative, stylish and sometimes very simple merchandising.
