ABOUT US
Indian traditional trade is an extremely dynamic market place where we have products, customers markets & organizations which are constantly evolving& changing rapidly. As a result of this also changing is the communication process,way to market brands, goes to market strategy, logistics, approachto services &above all consumer behavior. A constant up-gradation of traditional general trade retailers is taking place in the Indian general trade job finder scenario and it is not surprising to see the traditional village grocer convert into a swanky self-serving store in no time. A revolution is happening in the traditional general stores all over India and the distribution has to be targeted & precise first.
General selling is out and specific, defined and targeted sales, distribution & coverage are the key words to avoid the clutter& reach your target customer in lesser time. The action in the Indian market is now moving rapidly towards the tier 2 & 3 towns. Mass coverage of the traditional trade is good primarily for established players and for players with very deep pockets. Still they would also like to avoid the huge cost incurred in covering the not so productive outlets also.Targeted coverage gives companies the edge of being cost effective in a short time and increasing profits substantially.Be the ‘at an arm’s length’ may not be true for all& sundry.A good product is an essential to start with, but it’s even more critical is to get the right product in the right outlet leading to being available to the right consumer. No matter how dynamic or innovative the product is, if it is not placed in the right outlet it will not get to the right customer in the right context it hence may not taste success.
Hence some questions have become more important such
- As am I in the right outlet?
- Where is the right market for me?
- Where are the gaps, as my sales is stagnant?
- Do I have the right distributors?
- Is my coverage proper or do I increase coverage?
- Am I reaching the right outlets?
- Do I have the right infrastructure?etc.
