Distribution

The best product in the world will not perform if consumers cannot find it in store. Distribution with the right retailers is critical to maximising consumer reach and penetration. In addition, the growing 'squeeze' on shelf space in retail outlets calls for special attention to space management opportunities. Key questions that need to be understood include:

  • Which retailer represents the greatest sales opportunity?
  • What alternate shopping channels are consumers using for your brands?
  • Is the mix of products in the category correct?
  • Where are the distribution gaps and opportunities?
  • How effective is my sales force?
  • Are out-of-stocks an issue?
