top of mind consistent to selling activities & programs.
Develop brand switching.
• Supports like category cluster or promotional with premiums

as in pack banding, bundling, free goods, promo contest will
increase mileage and in line with value for money.
• Price-off is situational as it may not result to brand switching

but more on forward buying from current users. In store
programs, I.e. merchandising contest, off-shelf appearance,
store in house sell-out programs are temporary need
continuity.

The Words of the Experience
“ The secret of my success is that I look at a

coin. On one side, it reminds me that without
sales, there is no merchandising. On the other
side, it reminds me that without a good and
proper merchandising job, there is no sales or
poor sales at my next call. So I realized that
SA L E S and ME RC HA NDISING are two sides
of the same coin.”
The Words of the Experience
 A display can give you a bigger sales increase that

any other marketing tool; more than promotion and
more than media.
 Display space and siting is difficult to obtain BUT

easy to loose. So, once you have got it, retain and
improve on it.

it makes much more fun to get a YES.
