Our response

Due to the uplift in customer footfall during peak, eXPD8 were tasked with analysing both the gift card stock required to meet customer demand and realigning our visit frequency to also meet the increased demand / sales in stores. The solution provided was to upweight our visit frequency and increase our stock despatches for the best selling lines. The top 10x products were despatched above and beyond our weekly orders and we also scheduled a second visit for top selling stores during the peak period to maximise product availability. We also supported a number of trials throughout Q4 (in select stores) which allowed Sainsbury’s to trial different planograms / category blocking opportunities to determine the best set-up that would yield additional sales for 2023-2024.
