Within the guide, retailers will also find the featured planograms which contain all the core range products. Those with larger stores can view the Plan for Profit extended range and larger planograms via the Plan for Profit website and app.

The guide also provide key category insights to help retailers better understand the world foods and cooking sauces, snack meals, desserts and preserves, hot beverages, breakfast cereals, biscuits, household & laundry, toiletries, baby care, pet care categories.

“The increase in consumers working from home has driven the rise in in-home consumption across many categories, this trend has resulted in retailers increasing space to accommodate take home and larger family packs in the drinks & snacks fixtures, which is reflected in the updated guidance,” Tracey Redfearn, Plan for Profit category controller, said.

“The new guide also highlights the key opportunities within the pet care category in line with the increase in sales of pet treats and premium pet food.”
