This presentation builds on the previous two webinars: Effective strategies to get your brand on retailer’s shelves.
You’ve worked hard to get your product on retailers shelves, now what? Now you need to help your products be easily found. You can’t afford to allow shoppers to overlook your products in favor of your competition simply because you don’t standout.
Some brands are famously known for their deep discounting and promotion frequency. The reality is that those strategies are not sustainable and they do not grow category profits – exactly what retailers do not want. Natural organic brands drive profitable growth in most every category. Brands need to help retailers maximize each and every selling opportunity to give shoppers what they want and to maximize category growth.
We will discuss effective merchandising strategies and techniques brands can use in conjunction with retailers that accomplish both of these objectives and more. Are you tired of being treated as an ATM by retailers, brokers, and distributors? Remember that their success is based on how well they help you succeed. They need you as much as you need them.
Now that you have started working with retailers, you need to take the next step. Shoppers want what they want and if they can’t easily find your products they will choose a different brand. Brands need to take responsibility for the placement and distribution of their products. Proper product placement recommendations need to be included in each and every selling situation.
This topic is even more relevant giving the systemic shift in natural with retailers like Whole Foods adopting the same category management principles used by mainstream brands and retailers. Brands wanting to “play” at this level need to “be” at this level. More importantly, traditional category management tends to overlook what makes natural, natural. Learn how to remain loyal to your roots while taking advantage of the best strategies used by big brands.
During this webcast – the third in a series – Daniel Lohman CPSA, Organic and CPG Industry Strategic Advisor for Category Management Solutions, will focus on strategies to help you get your brand on retailer’s shelves and keep it there, including effective merchandising strategies to grow sales and profits.
