UCB designs its promotional program with the interests of its Members and their business success in mind. Merchandise Manager Simon Egan outlines why it makes sense to take full advantage of what’s on offer.

ll UCB promotions are put together in order to grow category A profitability in our Members’ stores. With structured promotional activity running across many key categories, we will see good increases in total store sales and profitability.

However Simon suggests that the benefits are not just to the store owners, or their bottom line.

These programs also show value to our shoppers. Sadly, our industry has a reputation for being over-priced. A creative display of cheap Drinks or Chips helps break down this perception by showing value to our shoppers. It puts them at ease and breaks down their defensive barrier, moving them to an open-to-buy frame of mind.

Promotions also create a point of difference! They create atmosphere and build customer loyalty by providing a reason to return to the store.

There’s no doubt all Members appreciate the increased profitability that arises from such promotions, as well as the ongoing benefits of customer loyalty. It’s important to remember what makes a great 5 Promote for Profit 5

Promotional programs are built from the information Merchandise Managers gather from previous experience within UCB and the market, and sometimes just from intuition as to what will work.

Execution is the most important component. UCB can put together a great offer with Trade Partners such as: Cadbury Medium Bars Range offer 2 for $3.49, aligned with the busy Easter trading period. And perhaps include a Retailer display incentive. Think: great product, great price, great timing… However, if the promotion isn’t supported at store level, it is likely to fail and certainly won’t deliver maximum profitability for the retailer!

After the promotion has completed, sales and profitability data is analysed thoroughly for future improvement.

Simon admits ”Occasionally a promotion will deliver a negative gross profit dollar result. These results are closely 6 Energy Category in Focus Category in Focus Energy with Fred Pacchiarotta

Over the last 12 months consumers who were regarded as high value shoppers, purchased less than the previous year.

The low value shopper has kept the energy category going not changing their buying habits and are still engaging within the same products and promotional mechanics vs the previous year.
