Your retail category management - done right

Mitigate your risk, identify opportunities, and continually refine your FMCG retail shelf strategy. Leverage our proven retail category management expertise to position your brand for long-term success. We’ll strive for a sustained, profitable shelf life for your FMCG brand.

Leverage our relationships with retail leaders

From energy drinks to vitamins, skincare to snacking products. We know how to manage retail categories for our brand partners.

We can say, categorically, it matters

You know that effective FMCG category management is much more than delivering orders on time. We help you understand the critical elements that combine to give your brand the best possible chance of success – and getting the category fit right for your products is vital.

Running your own business, building your brand and product range, and navigating the complexity of securing national ranging can be costly. Partner with Consult Group to reduce risk, maximise profitability, and optimise market opportunities.

In Stephen’s words, not ours.(Thanks Stephen!)

“In 2014 as an emerging healthy snack brand, we needed additional resources that could hit the ground running and assist us in achieving ranging in the major grocery chains. Consult Group lead by James Manafas filled that gap and brought with them a wealth of market experience and grocery knowledge which has proved invaluable. We found working with the Consult Team easy and professional and together our turnover increased rapidly in the grocery channel.”

Stephen Hamilton, CEO, Bounce Foods.

Shelf life: your brand deserves a good one

Where should your brand be now, and where should it be in the future? We can partner with you to continually develop and evolve your on-shelf strategy. Nothing stands still in retail, and your brand shouldn’t either.
