Take advantage of the cold & flu remedy market this winter...
On average, adults catch two to four common colds per year, so having a fully stocked medicine cupboard is a priority of most, especially during the winter. Although we can get colds and the flu all year round, the colder months are when sales for cold and flu medicine really take off. Controller for convenience at GSK, Stephen Davies, says “October onwards sees the strongest sales for cold and flu treatments”…So despite the golden quarter being the season of all things festive and sparkly, it’s also the time to make sure your shelves are stocked with plenty of wholesale cold and flu medicines to help your customers fight off the winter sniffles.
