Scope is good because of BRAND name
26. SUGGESTIONS
The clause of the ACE KLUB should be made clearer to the retailers,
since few of them aren’t aware of them
The merchandizer should be able to convince the retailers to maintain
the window display and not let other brands to be displayed in this
window
Company should reimburse payouts in cash rather than adjust in bill.
A daily attendance record to be maintained for salesman at the AW point
regarding total number of outlets covered on that day because sometimes
salesman don’t bother to go to market instead take order on the mobile
Tracking should be undertaken for retail outlets also. This would help to ascertain outlets where are
stocks are not moving and also help to understand the stock trends for particular routes.
27. Perform a detail demand survey at regular interval to know about
the unique needs and requirements of the retailers.
The company should make hindrance free arrangement for its
customers/retailers to make any feedback or suggestions as and
when they feel.
A strong watch should be kept on distributors so that the goodwill
of the BRAND doesn’t get affected
Some new areas discovered were too huge, so the distributor can
make a whole new beat for this area.
The salesmen can be given extra training on customer relation
skills. This will enable them to win trust of the new retailers and
make them regular company customers.
28. At some points the distributors were not willing to add the new area
under their beats. For this company can give better incentives to
them and make them aware about various benefits
At a few distributor points, there is a shortage of vehicle for ready
stock, this delays the supply, and for this the company can make a
mandate to the distributors to maintain certain number of
permanent vehicles for supply.
The company can give free merchandizing to these outlets.
29. Retailers always seek for profit making deal from the
company. That’s why company can’t force retailers to keep
their product only. Carrying out relevant sales promotional
activities can increase biscuits demands and thus increase
in sales. An attempt made by Britannia to increase their
business and sales by ACE KLUB PROGRAM justify the
goal of the company in business growth. This study has
helped to gain good experience and more information
about the various attribute which support the program.
