Aura Cacia at Woodlands
Woodlands is a specialty independent running 3 Bay Area stores, small-format at about 2,336 sq ft each, indexing high on clean-organic versus other Bay Area grocers.
Aura Cacia is a brand dedicated to natural and organic personal care products, with a strong focus on essential oils.
It’s already on the shelf here, with 5 SKUs across 3 categories. The growth is depth and breadth: 3 categories to widen and 1 new door to enter, replicated across all 3 stores.
Lead with Organic Restoring Rosehip Skin Care Oil in Facial Oils.
Woodlands stocks facial oils thinly, so a differentiated snack stands out instead of becoming the Nth option on a crowded shelf. It already earns space at 1 other Bay Area grocer.
The more differentiated opening is facial oils: Woodlands stocks only 3 there, so Aura Cacia Organic Restoring Rosehip Skin Care Oil stands out rather than blending in.
Woodlands merchandises 4 of the 5 categories the brand sells.
