C&P Buying Cycle Calendar Q2 – Q3
1. Chain Accounts Q2-3 • Execute Execute EXECUTE! • Continue selling In-and-out promotional opportunities • Back-to-School • Winter Wellness • Measure KidZone program success and COMMUNICATE IT! • Begin 2012 CMA Planning
2a. Independents thru Whsl • Opportunity: 75,000 Doors • Why Tier 1 • Greatest # of Doors with Lowest Cost-to-Serve • Wholesalers already carry product (already listed in system, so no additional placement fees or admin required to set-up) • Wholesaler reps already knowledgeable with some training • History/ success stories with larger chains pulling from the wholesaler (easy for reps to sell and buyers to believe) • Retail price not compromised (markup within range to hold at 2.99 price point)
2a. Independents thru Whsl • How we reach • Feb/Mar - participate in all the major shows (w/anchor accounts and expectations set for independents based on attendees list) • Pre-Show Planning w/ reps • Immediate Show Follow-Up: who attended, who purchased (how can we capture in CRM, blast post-show deal) • Post-Show Sales Meeting (4-6 wks following show) • April/ May – Trainingand educating (currently underway) • How we support • In-line placement program for Independents
2a. Independents thru Whsl • Communication Plan • Direct warehouse marketing support • Qtrly Product guides • Virtual Trade Shows • Surveys • AASCA eblast • 7-eleven (Avanti) eblast • National Trade Communications – Presented at End
2b. Independents thru Cash’n’Carry • Opportunity: 10,000 doors • Independent that don’t qualify for whls delivery (min order qtys and/or credit) • Why Tier 2 • Requires more sales support and training to reach additional call points than Independents thru wholesalers, but lower cost-to-serve than DSD • Off invoice allowance support program for promo activity (10 cents per bottle) • Up to $300 for promo programs • No slotting costs • Work off lower margins (30-35%), can maintain retail price at $2.99 • How we support • Need to better educate them and do the math for them (good margin item at 34%) • Must get on their list!! Majority of dollars are allocated to items on list, may pick up a couple incremental/trial items
2a. Independents thru Cash’n’Carry • Communication Plan • CNC marketing support programs • New Item Display section • POS signage • In store flyers • Eblasts • Direct Mail-outs • National Trade Communications – Presented at End
2c. Independents thru DSD • Opportunity: 10,000 doors • DSD accounts take ownership of product • Once trained and educated they become a sales force to their established customer base (up-and-down the street, mom and pop stores where big trucks can’t get to in inner cities) • Why Tier 3 • Lowest tier in profitability and greatest time requirements • Have no broker support to manage (can’t afford a broker at 5pts) • Require significant trade support funding and sales rep/ driver spiffs “pay-to-play” • Margin requirements are high 30-35% margin, 10% allowance off product • Good/ larger DSDs want exclusivity, the route sales people cannot distribute to the chain stores (which are their bread and butter accounts) • Must find the ones that will give us focus (priority = beer, water, juice; IZB viewed as “hobby” items; must be in top 20 items to appeal to them) • How we support • Need trade support funding (free product, allowances, merchandising…) • Sales rep/ driver spiffs (to maintain focus) “pay-to-play”
2c. Independents thru DSD • Plan of Attack • Identify and prioritize target cities that we want to build DSD distribution in based on concentration of independents doors with smaller DSD opportunities. (also aligns with cities with high Hispanic influence) • Timing • May - Interview market and hire up to 2-3 for each city. • June – kick-off/ training w/ RSM (and Jody) - limited to resources available • Evaluation and continued training quarterly? • How much attention is needed? • What level of support? Merchandising? Ride-a-longs? Frequency? • Communications Plan • National Trade Communications – Presented at End • Los Angeles(JD) • Haralambos • New York (TK) • High Five Distributing in Manhattan • Boston (TK) • New England (NESCA) show in April in Massachusetts • Miami (Ft. Lauderdale Association show in June) • Chicago (SF) • Philly (SM) • Denver (LP) • Dallas (LP) • St. Louis (SF) • Atlanta (JB)
2d. Independents thru Club • Opportunity: 10,000 doors • Largest sub-tier opportunity (with residential purchases on top of resale purchase) • Why Tier 4 • Need to have better established independent retail base/ awareness of the brand prior to Club distribution • What ACV ? Is it 50% ?? • Plan of Attack • Focus on building awareness and distribution to the independent network via Tiers 1 – 3 • Learn more about how to reach and communicate to the independents purchasing through Club to drive on-going sell through • Communications Plan • National Trade Communications – Presented at End
