Category Development

Category Development

Category Development is at our core, an area we have been involved with for 20 years, working with some of the largest global F.M.C.G. companies across the UK.

Maximising sales through understanding shopper motivations and needs, and delivering against them, is a necessary discipline for growing businesses.

Understanding your shoppers/consumers needs also helps identify potential growth areas e.g. NPD or channel opportunities.

Elements we can help you cover:

  • category vision
  • embedding category development at the heart of your business
  • market segmentation
  • the category plan process
  • resourcing a team, developing roles/structure
  • training to embed understanding/upskill your workforce
  • the NPD process
  • what is the correct IT support?
  • what is the correct data required?
  • Whilst the 8 step process may be an overly onerous and resource hungry, a shortened version and an effective team, will give you a greater level understanding, influence and insight.
