PepsiCo supporting independent businesses this summer with massive giveaway

PepsiCo supporting independent businesses this summer with massive giveaway

PepsiCo is supporting independent businesses this summer by offering ten entrants the chance to win up to £2,000 in its latest giveaway. A first for PepsiCo, the giveaway will be open to both independent away-from-home operators and independent retailers. To enter, operators or retailers must simply purchase three cases of any qualifying product* in a single transaction from a participating wholesaler and text to win, by 31 August.

Out-of-home snacking continues to be a key snacking occasion within the Savoury Snacks Category, with 19 per cent (+5pp) share . Summer provides a significant opportunity for retailers and independent businesses to capitalise on this and encourage incremental spend.


With the giveaway including RRP price-marked-packs, PepsiCo is helping retailers to tap into demand for the pack format at a time when consumers are after reassurance. RRP price-marked-packs also continue to play a strong role within savoury snacking. Sharing RRP PMPs account for 42 per cent of salty snacks value sales in the Crisps, Snacks and Nuts segment and continue to grow at +20.1 per cent vs. previous year , demonstrating just how important RRP PMPs remain.

“The start of summer means more consumers visiting convenience stores and independent outlets, to prepare for a barbecue, grab a quick snack, or spend time with friends and family," said Mike Chapman, Head of Wholesale at PepsiCo. "At PepsiCo, we wanted to support our independent away-from-home and retailer colleague s through one of the busiest times of the year with our latest giveaway, helping them to invest in their outlets so that they can continue serving their communities.”

Pernod Ricard UK ignites festive spirit with marketing push

As December rapidly approaches, Pernod Ricard UK is ramping up its festive marketing efforts, anticipating a resurgence in consumer confidence after a challenging year. The UK’s second-largest wine and spirits supplier is set to inspire consumers to choose Premium+ Spirits as the perfect gift or the ultimate addition to any home celebration. Throughout 2024, Premium+ Spirits have consistently outperformed Standard offerings, making this higher end of the sector a vital margin driver.

“Since last Christmas, consumer confidence has been on the rise and the outlook for the final month of 2024 is positive," said Chris Shead, Off-Trade Channel Director for Pernod Ricard UK. "Gifting and hosting remain two key trends and retailers should focus on increasing space in-store for Premium Spirits that act as the perfect gift or cocktail ingredient when wanting to show off in front of friends and family. Where possible, we encourage retailers to prioritise categories that have been capturing the hearts of consumers and this year, our big winners have been Altos Tequila, Kahlúa and Bumbu Rum, and we expect our Champagnes, G.H. Mumm and Perrier-Jouët, to be the toast of choice for festive parties this year.”
