Manufacturers often miss growth opportunities with their retailer through this one factor:
Their Brand's Range.
Shelf space has always been considered a key driver of sales and brand awareness - at least against competing brands.
However,...
With major Shopper behavior changes during the last 12 months, the importance of space productivity has been increasing drastically.
Retailers are reacting and adapting their own range quickly, based on shoppers' spending changes.
So here is the dilemma:
Shall a Brand maintain a long assortment tail with high risk of decreasing my brand's effectiveness and finally seeing my low selling SKUs - and space - cut by the retailer?
or
be proactive in cutting low selling SKUs to provide more space to my better selling SKUs?
Consider the cost of maintaining low selling SKUs on a shelf: Delivery, Returns, Activation costs...
On the other hand, being proactive on my Brand's Range delivers huge benefits:
• Additional space justified by additional sales
• Increased availability
• More flexibility to launch and try new items
1. The average number of SKU sold by day by branch of the category [sub-category] of the retailer (A) and the same for the Brand (B).
2. A comparison between the Brand's share of SKU (A) and its share of sales (B).
In both cases, when (A) > (B) it is usually a sign that range optimisation or activation is required. What decision will you take?
