Burton’s Foods, the UK’s second largest biscuit supplier, is introducing a major new profit opportunity with the launch of a range of iconic Cadbury brands as price marked biscuits, exclusively available to the cash and carry/wholesale trade.
The move is intended to generate incremental growth in the chocolate biscuit market and sees the launch of two leading Cadbury brands – Cadbury Caramel and Cadbury Crunchie – as biscuits in £1 promotional price marked packs. Both biscuits come in 130g packs, in outers of 12 and are for a limited time only.
Burton’s Graeme Mair, Business Account Manager for Cash and Carry, says the £1 promotional price marked packs combine everyday indulgence with an accessible price point, adding that the launch will drive new consumers to the biscuit fixture and accelerate the growth of the biscuit ‘treats’ sector.
He comments: “The launch of the £1 promotional price marked packs will create real interest and standout on the fixture, positioning the Cadbury-branded biscuits as beacon brands and introducing more adults to the fast-growing biscuit treats category, against a backdrop of growing price sensitivity amongst consumers.
“The two products combine the huge appeal and credibility of Cadbury, the UK’s number one chocolate brand, with the quality and heritage of Burton’s biscuits.”
