Editor's Notes

  • #5 These are covered in the following OHs
  • #6 Slotting fees – Can be $25,000 per item to millions of dollars for a chain store Exit fees – introducing a new version of an existing brand
  • #7 Forward – retailer purchases excess inventory of product when it’s on deal (but retailer has carrying costs) Diversion – retailer purchases product on deal in one location and diverts inventory to another location
  • #9 Retailer gets something for performing a function. CMA – set up displays; cooperative advertising; etc. CSP – manuf ships products in ready to display pallets PPA – retailer purchases full or half truckload to get an allowance BHA – retailer pays cost of shipping Cross dock or pedal run – allowance for buying full truckload to be split amongst one’s regional stores Premium – retailer gets free merchandise; e.g., one carton for every 20 purchased over next 60 days.
  • #11 Billback – manuf repays retailer for special product displays, ads or price cuts
  • #13 Finding prospects – but buying is generally done in international trade shows
  • #15 Ad specialties – impress customers; constant reminder; should fit
  • #16 About 50% of purchases at supermarkets and mass merchandisers in unplanned – thus POP can really draw attention and prompt impulse buys.
  • #21 Brand image – taking away money from advertising
