Marketing director at JTI UK, Mark McGuiness, said: “We know that for many existing adult smokers, price is a key factor when deciding what brand to purchase. By offering iconic brands like Mayfair and Benson & Hedges at new ultra-low prices, retailers can capitalise on both Mayfair Silver and Benson & Hedges Blue Rolling’s brand heritage, with products that also offer a competitive price point. We have a proven track record of innovation from other established heritage brands, so we’re confident these line extensions will be well received by customers. Retailers should price at the RRP to maximise the sales opportunity and drive incremental sales in the category.”
