The Best Products to Stock to Attract Customers (DKSH Malaysia)

As a business owner yourself, you’d know all too well that the goal for every store is to attract customers and make sales. But what are the best products to stock for that? When it comes to consumer goods, there are a handful of brands that are so popular, they become the common term for products. 

In Malaysia for instance, consumers refer to baby diapers as Pampers or margarine as Planta because the brands have become synonymous with the products. These are the brands that consumers grew up with and continue to reach for in supermarkets. 

Brand awareness has a big influence on consumers’ buying behaviour, which makes some brands better options than others.

As a leading distributor of fast-moving consumer goods, DKSH knows this all too well. The company has a strong grasp of what local consumers want and only brings in the best products to meet those needs. 

Now you too can buy wholesale from DKSH Malaysia through Dropee’s Signature Store. From F&B to beauty, stock up on your customers’ favourite products at the best prices.

The Best Products: Food & Beverages

Kitchen Ingredients

1. Olive oil

Cooking oil is essential in the kitchen and olive oil is one of the most popular types for its health benefits. Cultivated in the Mediterranean, this oil is packed with healthy monounsaturated fats and amino acids. Consumers are partial to Filippo Berio as the products are made in Italy, where many claim the best olive oil comes from.

2. Margarine

An inexpensive substitute to butter, margarine is made from vegetable oils and contains polyunsaturated fats to reduce LDL cholesterol levels. Margarine is used as a spread, for baking and cooking and to add flavour to dishes. In Malaysia, the top choice is Planta – the brand name has become synonymous with margarine locally.

3. Baking Soda

Baking soda is the Jack-of-all-trades in the kitchen. As the name suggests, baking soda helps doughs rise in baking and can balance out flavours in cooking. But baking soda is also good for cleaning as it can remove tough stains and neutralise odour. Arm & Hammer is the favourite in Malaysia, the bright orange boxes are hard to miss on supermarket shelves.

Hot Drinks

1. Tea

An energy boost in the morning, an after-meal treat and a business meeting must-have, tea is a staple in Malaysian culture. Coffee may dominate the local beverage scene, but tea is a healthier alternative that is growing in popularity. Twinings is one of the major brands locally as consumers love the wide range of blends and flavours available.

2. Green Tea

For health-conscious consumers, green tea is the go-to. While green tea lacks in flavour variety, it makes up for natural antioxidants and other health benefits. The best green tea comes from Japan, which is why consumers prefer OSK Green Tea, as the products are from the land of the rising sun itself.

3. Malted Milk Drinks

Powder-based malted milk drinks like Horlicks are a quintessential part of breakfast in Malaysia. From school children to working adults, many Malaysians have claimed they can’t start their day without the energy boost they get from malted milk drinks.

Condiments

1. Honey

A healthy substitute to sugar, honey is the multi-purpose pantry essential that we add to food and drinks. Despite its sweetness, honey is rich in antioxidants and other nutrients. Capilano stands out among other brands as it is made from 100% pure Australian honey.

2. Peanut Butter

A peanut butter & jelly sandwich is not complete without this product, but it doesn’t stop there for peanut butter. It can be used as a dip, added to milkshakes or oatmeals and can even be eaten on its own as a snack. Skippy is undoubtedly one of the best choices, as attested by the 90 million people that prefer it over other brands.

3. Fruit Jam

Fruit jams are a fun way to add flavour to sandwiches, yoghurt bowls and even baked goods. Malaysian brand Eva has a unique take on fruit jam, incorporating tropical fruits like pineapple into its flavour offering that will surely appeal to local consumers.

Snacks 

1. Chips

A snack assortment is incomplete without chips. While chips are a favourite among consumers, many of them are unhealthy. Give your customers a healthier option with Mission tortilla chips, which are made with 100% real corn and come in a variety of flavours.

2. Biscuits

Biscuits are another must-have in the snack section, whether sweet or savoury. Bahlsen’s cocoa-flavoured ABC letter biscuits are especially popular among kids as they get to enjoy their snacks while learning the alphabet.
