Customer Class Overview • Each customer class has its unique requirements to do business • The following slides will review in detail those classes with the most opportunity for Personna growth • Focus for developing programs and promotions
Customer Class Sales (detail will not appear in final presentation – only % change)
International • Per Susan Lewis, customers are stocking up when product is on promotion, causing their order cycles to change • The economy is still impacting her accounts
Sally Beauty Supply • They currently have over 2,500 stores • They have tremendous buying power • They sell approximately 65% to the consumer, 35% to a licensed professional • They offer three-tier pricing: • Professional • Club member • Consumer • They require lower than published prices on a regular basis, plus further discounts when a product is advertised • They make additional deductions from every purchase order for Advertising and Distribution, Product Development and Defective Allowance • Vendors are required to contribute to store plan-o-gram sets
Full Service Distributors • They sell only to the licensed professionals • Due to their buying power, they demand discounted (contract) prices year-round • They have both stores and distributor salon consultants (DSCs) who call on salons • The majority of Personna’s sales come from the stores • DSCs concentrate on their high volume wet lines • They publish bi-monthly deal flyers • Due to consolidation, there are fewer, larger Full Service Distributors
Redistributors • They re-sell product (business to business) to the smaller OTC’s • They generally have very large buying power • They require heavily discounted prices to be competitive • They work on very low margins, which puts downward pressure on prices • Korean Redistributor • They have the most impact on Personna’s business • They distribute a large variety of products (including fashion accessories, retail sundries, etc.) into OTC’s primarily serving the African American community • They are extremely price sensitive • They require a minimum 20% discount off distributor price • They are very savvy and know what’s happening in their business • This is a close community that shares information with each other • Other Redistributors • They sell into to general OTC market • Same price requirements • They are not as specialized in customer base • Vietnamese Redistributor not a factor in Personna’s business • Sells primarily into the large Vietnamese Nail Salon community • They generally prefer lower-end products
Over-the- Counter (OTC) Stores • OTC/Korean OTC/OTC Chain • They sell to the professional and the consumer • They typically buy in small quantities from the Spilo catalog and Hot Sheets • Generally pay published regular and deal prices • They may have one store or a chain of stores • The majority of the independent OTCs are found in the West Coast/Florida/NY/New Jersey • Korean OTC – Owned by Koreans, sell primarily to the African American consumer
Other Classes • Retail Accounts (Stores, Catalogs, Specialty) • This customer typically has strict compliance policies • Requires UPC’s & detailed carton marking • Specified delivery schedule commitments (can include advanced delivery notice) • Set pricing structure (contract pricing) • Adherence to fees/penalties for non-compliance • Catalogs • This has been a nice area of growth for Spilo • We have a couple of “Key” customers in this category • They primarily sell to the professional • There are a few that sell to the public • Internet Accounts • Small portion of our business but growing • They primarily sell to the public
Brainstorming Session • Discuss promotional opportunities including: • Instant Rebate Coupons • Distribution Drivers for new accounts • In-Ad Coupons for key distributors • Customer-specific promotion supported by trade publication advertising • Front-end display opportunities – buy the space near the counter • Side-wing/end cap opportunities • Account flyer advertising • Temporary price reduction • Permanent price reduction
