As the owner or manager of a supermarket, grocery store, petrol & convenience service station or other retail outlet in Australia, if you’re not in the middle of a major urban centre (and even sometimes if you are), you’ll often find your store overlooked for promotional opportunities.
This isn’t personal! The challenge is that even the biggest suppliers just don’t have enough field reps to make it to every store that’s out there. Because of this, they have to work out a call plan strategy and focus on the ‘easy wins’.
It’s frustrating to miss out on promotions but it’s worth remembering that suppliers are stressed by this as well. Focusing on a small number of stores for promotions may be the most profitable strategy for them but being unable to reach regional stores in person means missed sales opportunities for everybody.
For too long, stores have lost sales from missing out on a new product launch or promotional campaign simply because a rep couldn’t visit or was in-between visits.
