Magners launches packs to boost sales

Magners is launching a variety of new pack formats in response to demand from trade customers and consumers.

The

formats include 8x44cl and 12x40cl Magners Original can multipacks. The cider is also introducing a 4x33cl Magners Original bottle option to accompany the existing

6x33cl format.

A

four -for -three

offer on Magners Original and Magners Light 33cl long-neck bottles is also being launched. Magners hopes the deal

will "help drive trial and awareness of the Light brand in particular".

Brand manager Richard Barnes said: "We are always looking

to increase

on-shelf presence, especially during such an important period for the off-trade. It is vital

we listen to

feedback from

customers and consumers alike and are then flexible enough to react quickly and offer more variety to our product portfolio.

"We have already secured strong distribution for these new SKUs and are convinced

they will

help retailers

grow their sales, while offering consumers compelling incentives

to purchase Magners

in the run-up to Christmas."
