Or, how bottleshops can drive profits by picking up their game on the different types of persuasive sell, according to Norrelle Goldring of ShopAbility, for National Liquor News.
In the last issue I was bemoaning the lack of persuasive selling in bottleshops and how nobody ever seems to bother to sell me anything additional to increase their average basket spend.
Consider that, in supermarkets at least, 85% of shoppers add to their shopping list. In bottleshops whilst 2/3 have planned their category and brand, at least 30% haven’t. This leaves room for influencing purchase (as well as getting an additional item in the basket).

A couple of years on from the RTD excise, the bottom hasn’t fallen out of the category but there have been some shifts.
First up, let’s be clear that the category isn’t going away. It has shown consistent long term growth. It’s been around since inception in the mid 1960s with UDL. Constant innovation from the mid 1980s saw volume rise tenfold over a 15 year period, from 1 million 9L cases in 1985 to 10m 9L cases in 1999. The GST, together with a shift into convenient multipack formats, saw a fourfold volume increase from 11m 9L cases in 2000 to nearly 45m 9L cases in 2007, before the tax excise.
