Rockstar rolls out PMPs for two of its top-flavours

Rockstar rolls out PMPs for two of its top-flavours

Britvic’s energy drink brand, Rockstar, is launching two of its top-performing flavours, Juiced El-Mango and Tropical Punch, in a price-marked-pack (PMP) format. Designed to further drive impulse purchases and bring new shoppers into the category, the £1.29 PMP cans are now available in wholesale and convenience.

Stimulant energy is the largest category in impulse, with stimulant shoppers spending 92 per cent more than soft drink shoppers in OOH on average. PMPs remain key for the convenience market, giving shoppers price reassurance and a greater perception of value for money – 66.9 per cent of sales in this channel now go through as PMP, an increase from 66 per cent in 2021. Rockstar already offers an extensive range of flavours in PMP format and Juiced El-Mango and Tropical Punch are set to drive excitement and interest by adding to it.

With HFSS legislations on the horizon, Rockstar recently announced a reduction in the sugar content across its range of energy drinks to be fully HFSS compliant, including Juiced El-Mango and Tropical Punch. Rockstar is making itself even more reliable and steadfast for retailers who will be able to continue growing energy drink sales through high-impact merchandising and promotions even once the legislation comes into effect.

“Nine out of 10 shoppers say taste is the most important consideration when buying a soft drink, so flavours, in particular, are important for piquing shoppers’ interest and generating excitement in the category," said Ben Parker, Retail Commercial Director at Britvic. "As a trusted and recognisable brand, the Rockstar range comes in a variety of great-tasting flavours, and also offers the functional benefits needed for consumers to keep their energy levels up. The addition of Juiced El-Mango and Tropical Punch in a PMP format will offer shoppers price reassurance and a greater perception of value for money”.

Rockstar Juiced El-Mango and Tropical Punch PMP (£1.29) are now available in wholesale and convenience . The rollout of the range will be supported by in-depot activations, retailer POS and field support.

Swizzels limited-edition Valentine’s Day treat

Swizzels limited-edition Valentine’s Day treat

Sweet maker Swizzels has unveiled a brand-new limited-edition product in time for Valentine’s Day, combining two of its most-loved brands into one treat: Squashies Love Hearts.

Offering a fresh twist on two popular classics, the new Squashies Love Hearts combine Squashies’ signature soft texture with the iconic and timeless messages of Love Hearts.

Squashies remain the No. 1 sugar confectionery brand in the market, while Love Hearts see consistent growth, with 950,000 units sold during the Valentine’s period and a 10 per cent year-on-year growth in brand value. Building on this success, Swizzels has combined the two household names to create a fast-moving and profitable addition to any retailer’s offering.

Available in 120g bags and sold in cases of 12, each foam sweet is embossed with a fun message or emoji, making them ideal for sharing with a loved one. Messages include "KISS", "WOW", "FAB", and "LOVE", alongside two cheerful and romantic emojis, adding a playful touch.

With an MRSP of £1.15, the new product retains the classic colours and flavours of traditional Love Hearts, including Pineapple, Lime, Blackcurrant, Lemon, Cherry, and Orange.

Swizzels’ Love Hearts range remains a Valentine’s Day favourite, led by the popular 39g Giant Love Hearts rolls, which outsell any other Valentine’s SKU with 621,000 units sold during the season.



Other fan-favourites from the range include Love Hearts Originals Hanging Bags, the 15g mini Love Hearts rolls and Giant Love Hearts multipacks.

“We’re excited to introduce a delicious and innovative new product that combines two of our most popular brands, delivering the same moreish flavours and signature texture - with an added twist," said trade marketing manager Clare Newton.
