FRANCE: SOFT DRINKS AT SYSTEM U
Article Abstract:
Although cola sales represent 55% of the soft drink sales at the national level, this figure drops to 48% at Systeme U, which has introduced a new installation enhancing colas, in order to stimulate this department. Although generally the products which have a high penetration rate, such as colas, are located at ten end of the department in order to generate traffic, Systeme U has decided to put them at the beginning of the soft drinks department instead. The strong identification which colas have and the increased shelf space given to colas in the soft drinks departments makes up for disadvantages (customers may not see them). This soft drink department is organised according to a mixture between dark products, led by colas and then teas, and clear products such as limeades and lemonades, in order to make them easier to spot. The fruit juice department follows the soft drinks section. It is organised according to different containers - jars for pure juices and nectars with pulp, and brick cartons for products made from concentrate, individual sizes, and nectars. The syrup department is organised according to the containers - canisters and glass bottles.
