to retailers

Trade Universe
Distributor
Wholesellers
These wholesalers supplies product to rural
Retailers retailers. Products supplied included branded &
loose (unbranded items)
Traditional Rural Distribution System
23. Sales & Trade Marketing Strategies
Focus is on increasing weighted penetration through targeted
loyalty programs
Wholesale invests in items with high sales turnovers as the model
focussed on absolute profit and not percentage profit
Many companies are leveraging wholesale as an RTM e.g. local
juices and beverages model like Maza, Gourmet etc relies heavily
on wholesale for numeric penetration
IMTs has strong penetration in wholesale due to their competitive
pricing and bundle offers
