Maximise your sales this summer

Be prepared to sell by stocking the most popular products!

As the summer season approaches we have taken a look at the best-selling categories to stock for a UK convenience store to ensure you are prepared for the upcoming months. Take a look at the points below to see what popular products you should be stocking for your customers.

1. Slush & Milkshakes: With temperatures rising, customers are likely to be thirsty and looking for refreshing beverages to cool down. We work with many suppliers that offer machines with many different sizes and flavours. These are available in both carbonated and non-carbonated. Don't miss out on an increasingly popular Food to Go category!
2. Ice cream & Ice lollies: Ice cream machines and ice lollies are a must-have in any convenience store during the summer season. Make sure to stock up on a variety of flavours and brands to appeal to everyone's different tastes!
3. BBQ and picnic foods: With the sun shining and outdoor gatherings becoming more common, customers will be looking for items such as burgers, sausages, buns, salads, and condiments to enjoy at picnics and BBQs.
4. Sun protection: With the hot summer sun beating down, customers will be looking for sun protection products such as sunscreens, hats, and sunglasses.
5. Insect repellent: Mosquitoes and other insects are common during the summer months, so customers may be looking for insect repellent products to keep them at bay. We also offer Pest Control services to help keep your business clean and pest free throughout the warmer season.
6. Camping/Outdoor activities: As people spend more time outdoors, items such as frisbees, balls, and other outdoor games may be popular. Camping and travel products are also a great choice to stock during these warmer months.

Remember to keep an eye on local trends and adjust your inventory accordingly to maximise sales during the summer season. Should you wish to purchase any products from the categories listed, Procuria work with an extensive range of suppliers with thousands of products and would be happy to help you find what you're looking for.
