PG2GO case study

We really liked the concept of an all-in-one tea solution and decided to sell PG2GO on all our UK vessels. In the first year 2006, we saw 20% growth in sales.

We increased the price from €1.20 to €1.65, as we were selling a premium brand and meeting consumer demand for a quality cup of tea out-of-home.

Our customers instantly identify the PG tips brand and are prepared to pay a higher price for it. They recognise the brand from their cupboards at home and know that it delivers great taste and quality every time.
