Alison Adderley, field sales director at Coca-Cola Europacific Partners GB (CCEP), discusses the launch of My.CCEP.com, a new digital platform designed to help independent customers make the most of the soft drinks opportunity.

Over the last year, convenience stores have been vital to local communities, evolving their ranges, starting online delivery services and implementing safety measures to ensure they can continue to safely serve their customers. This hasn’t gone unnoticed by shoppers, which means now, there’s a real opportunity to develop longstanding relationships with your existing and new customers.

We continue to support our independent customers through our field sales team, which is one of the largest in Great Britain. Visits will return to 2019 levels (may change if pandemic restrictions return) and the team will provide insights to help shape the best ranges in store and support on execution in outlets to enhance soft drink displays and drive sales.

We will also continue to maintain a host of chilled equipment, as well as supplying our industry-leading brand portfolio which includes brands such as Coca-Cola, Fanta, Monster, Costa and Capri-Sun. We want to make sure that all our customers have access to this support and insight whenever they need it.

That’s why we’ve recently launched My.CCEP.com, a brand new website for customers to help them get more from soft drinks in their store, a category which is currently growing by 7% in convenience. The site is packed with advice, updates and practical support, including:

• Free PoS materials and digital downloads, with a variety of assets to help drive excitement in-store and online
• Equipment management and maintenance with 24/7 access to support from our team of experts, and assistance with finding the right equipment for every store
• Insight into the soft drinks category, including advice on tapping into new trends, as well as tips on ranging and merchandising to boost sales
• Information about our products with details of our latest launches, promotions and campaign activity
• CCEP corporate information to find out about our latest sustainability or community initiatives

Throughout the year, My.CCEP.com will feature guidance on making the most of key seasonal opportunities, including Halloween and Christmas. At the moment, we have advice on how to get match day ready in the run-up to UEFA Euro 2020.

And we’re helping retailers to tap into the football hype with two new on-pack promotions, with supporting PoS materials available on the site.
