Today: • Core issues facing both manufacturers and retailers • The opportunity for both to put new meaning into the partnership model • Implementation – where to start: • For retailers • For manufacturers
“Problems vs. Opportunities” • There is a convergence of factors in the marketplace today that calls for both manufacturers and retailers to change the way they go to market. • Those who view this as an “opportunity” and move to change NOW will survive and thrive • Those who view this as a “problem” and spend a lot of time “thinking about it” will get passed-by • This talk is to review these factors and offer suggestions to both manufacturers and retailers on how to capitalize on the opportunities.

Moreover, Technology Has Made It Possible For Both Manufacturers and Retailers To Target Heavy Shoppers • Heavy Channel Shopper Importance Source: AC Nielsen
The Key To Making This Work For Both Parties Is The Willingness To Break Down Traditional Thought Barriers • Retailers – Differentiate on a basis other than price and build store equity as “brands” • Manufacturers – Acknowledge retailers’ strategic potential in helping build brand equity via retailer-developed consumer communications vehicles and promotion devices • Focus resources to help achieve individual strategic objectives: • Retailers – store equity • Manufactures – brand equity • Some have begun but the majority has yet to catch on
Traditional Retailer Mind-Set Changes Required • “Build it and they will come” • Deal-driven versus consumer-driven buying mentality • Push as many costs of doing business as possible onto the supplier community: • Category management analyses and recommendations • Promotion ideation and execution • “Get more/spend less” risk adverse approach • Financial objectives first, customers second: • Limiting selection because it does not meet category management criteria
Traditional Manufacturer Mind-Set Changes Required • Direct-to-consumer advertising and promotion is the only way to build brand equity: • Now 40% of A&P versus 60% trade • Trade spend is now over 16% of net sales • Shotgun versus rifle • Brand-centric/geographic versus account-centric structure and process • “Our teams are already empowered”
Why Sales Teams Are Not Empowered (Most, Not All): • ManufacturerTrade Promotion/Customer Development • Brand Groups$ • Manufacturer Account Team • Mega Retailer 1 2 3 4 No Contact
Taking The Partnership To A Strategic Level – The Key Areas of Focus For The Next 10 Years • Retailer • Manufacturer • Objectives • Strategy • Implementation • Build store equity • Build share • Increase profitability • Build store “brand equity” via non-price based differentiation leveraged off core strengths • Tap key supplier marketing expertise • Build brand equity • Build share • Increase profitability • Build brand equity via BOTH direct-to-consumer and trade-to-consumer advertising and promotion vehicles • Make Brand Managers “TradeSmart” • Make KAMs “Consumer Smart” • Cross-pollinate at the point of sale
Implementation What is “equity” from a retailer’s POV? How do I “empower” my account teams without blowing-up my organization?
Equity: • The reason why shoppers will drive 100 miles RT from NYC to Norwalk every week to shop at Stew Leonard's • The reason why consumers will pay a 10-15% premium for a Coke or an Evian versus NBE private label • Sets one retailer apart from another on a basis other than price: • Once one builds equity in a store, price then becomes secondary • Is total corporate driven, not category driven • Can be continually leveraged in different ways to attract and hold new consumers while retaining current customers • Provides a strategic framework for all advertising and promotion activities • Your signature – your core reason for being
Building Equity: • Define core strengths • Roll-up into a strategy that forces your competitors to react to you • Communicate via a three word position statement: • “Quality for value” • “The Time Savers” • “The Solution Providers” • “Fresher, Better, Faster” • Never deviate/react to competition – persistence and consistency through the dark days is everything • Focus entire organization on implementation: • Align standards with strategy • Change incentives • Reward execution excellence loudly and frequently
Empowering Account Teams • Train brand management and agency executives to become “TradeSmart”: • Top 10 accounts (20/80) • ROI/equity potential of retailers’ communication vehicles and promotion devices • 1X per year personal account calls to get direct input • Add a new budget line to annual brand plan • “Co-Marketing” – Refers to “through-trade-to-consumer” equity-building advertising and promotion activities • Fund commensurate with potential return – do NOT siphon from current trade promotion allocations • Train KAMs/Team Leaders to become “ConsumerSmart”: • Also want these people to be able to identify equity opportunities and convince account to convert/invest trade promotion funds commensurate with opportunities

Change Is Tough But The Bright Side Is The Progress We Have Made Over The Last 100 Years: • In 1900: • Life expectancy was 47 • Only 14% of homes had bathtubs • Only 8% had a telephone • There were only 8,000 cars and 144 miles of paved roads • Maximum speed limit was 10 mph • Average wage was 22¢ per hour and the average worker made between $200 and $400 per year • 95% of all births occurred at home • Sugar cost 4¢/lb, eggs were 14¢/dozen and coffee 15¢/lb • Marijuana, heroin and morphine were all available over the counter in corner drug stores
