I've recently joined an ad agency after serving a Web Studio. I'm working on one of the big Tobacco company account and the first project I'm handling is retail engagement program.
I need to develop a retail engagement program with the following Generic ovjectives:
- to establish and maintain long term sustainable relations with the retailers
-to differentiate itself from the competition – among tobacco companies as well as other FMCG companies
Currently all companies pay for placement, shelf share, Availability, etc to retailers. This is a very common practise among Tobacco companies here. Companies habituate retailer to build relations based on rewarding.
Due to tough competition, we are thinking of implemeting adequate program for top retailer in order to ensure competitiveness and sustainability in retail universe.
First we are planning to develop the progam for top 15% retailers only and later for others.
The desired outcome of the program would be innately focused on business area, employing the rational reasons for retailers working with my client and presenting them as real business partners and experts in retail while providing the personal 'ego" component whereever applicable and fit-for-purpose.
Due to dark market secnario, we cannot go for the following:
- no promotion activities to consumers in Gro/Co
- no distribution of tobacco branded incentives to consumers
- no lottery/prize draw
I've few ideas of launching a Retailer club where bith informative and entertaining activies will take place. Also implemeting retail advocay program, even providing them experienced shop assistants who could concentrate on selling client's product as well other consumer goods.
I would highly appreciate if I could get some ideas from you experts..
