Sales boosts in frozen and pre-made highlight shoppers’ need for convenience
Two recent news articles have stressed the need of convenience for consumers.
The new co-op frozen ranges in Nisa Locals has experienced a huge sales boost since the range expanded. Also, the Charlie Bingham’s ready-meals have experienced a sales surge recently.
These two examples alone stress the shopper’s need for ease. By offering a wide range of pre-made high quality dinners and frozen produce to have on hand at any time, brands are helping consumers and making their life easier – and such benefits are evidently in demand.
However, this sales surge in the convenience category could highlight a shopper’s need to slow down. It may be suggestive of a population that is ‘too busy’ or ‘stripped for time’, and therefore we have a wellbeing issue which brands could further focus on.
