Retail training & sales support

Helping brands getting sell through

Getting the listing is the easy bit. Getting the range to sell in-store is much harder. For brands with low awareness and premium pricing, sell-out needs to be planned and worked for.

We can help with:

  • Sell-through strategy: targets by store, weekly sell-out reporting from till data, and spend directed to the stores where it pays.
  • Negotiating brand co-op: what the retailer asks for in marketing contribution, what it's worth, and what to agree to in return.
  • Beauty adviser training: product, skin & ingredient knowledge and product to trial at home.
  • Field sales: setting up a team (agency or direct), sized to the stores that justify it, with store visits covered in between.
  • Mystery shopping: regular visits to every store in each market, photos of the shelf and checks on POS, pricing, stock availability and cleanliness.
  • Point of sale: shelf design, testers, shelf talkers, gondola ends and planogram submissions.
  • In-store promotions: gifts with purchase, sampling and event.
  • Retailer education: skin physiology and ingredient modules written for retailers’ education managers to use in their own adviser programmes.
