Our experience is that the strategic importance of private label
differs considerably across countries and individual companies.
CMD recognises that more and more of our clients look to manage
their private label brands with similar marketing disciplines as
well known local and global household brands. CMD provides our
clients a Brand Awareness and Trial promotional program (Also
Referred to as BAT) to support our clients needs.
BAT provides our clients, promotional solutions that assist them
in supporting individual strategies that encourage awareness and
trial of their brands within individual product categories.
Each program is developed in consultation with your Buyers and
Category Managers and is specifically designed to support your
products and brands. CMD undertakes all activities associated
with executing your specific BAT program.
CMD activities and process is best described within four
distinct activities that make up the program:
First Phase
CMD will meet with your respective buyers/business
managers/category managers; to discuss the types of product
focused promotional initiatives you require for your brand.
Some examples of these activities include:
a)
trial pack
– a smaller version of your existing product packaged to be
offered to the consumer either free or at an attractive price
which allows the consumer to trial the product. For example a
50gm cookie packet or a 50 ml shampoo bottle;
b)
bonus pack
– your existing product packaged in a larger size or in
multiples, that can be offered to the consumer at a very
attractive price relative to other competitive brands. For
example where a company has a 500 ml dishwashing liquid, the
bonus pack would contain 750 ml of which 250ml is provided
free. Alternatively a single pack of potato chips sold as a
twin pack;
c)
associated selling pack
– two of your products combined within the one pack. Usually
this incorporates a high volume product with a new product
recently launched on the market. For example a pack of biscuits
which is sold with an attached 50gram bag of coffee;
d)
free gift offer pack
- we combine your product with a gift that is somehow associated
with the product packaged together. For example a pack of
batteries with a free torch;
e)
coupon pack
- we incorporate a coupon that offers a discount to a different
product than the one purchased by the consumer. For example, we
attach a coupon offering $1 off a purchase of jam to every pack
of bag of bread;
f)
display units
– these cardboard units are designed to display 50 to 100
individual pieces of a product either on shelves or on hooks.
They come packaged with product and header card. They can be
transhipped through distribution warehouses straight to stores
and easily assembled by in-store representatives. Display units
are very effective for developing awareness and trial by
utilising high traffic off location display space.
These programs are developed within the rules and regulations of
your individual operational and scanning policies and
procedures.
Second Phase
Once agreement is reached with the buyers with respect
to the program that is suitable for your specific needs, CMD
will manage all the activities necessary to deliver the program
within the agreed timelines. CMD facilitiates all the activities
with manufacturers, producers of gifts, packaging companies and
printers to complete the program with the agreed timelines
Third Phase
CMD will provide your buyers the client product
samples or mock ups where applicable to support advertising
shots for catalogues and brochures
Fourth Phase
CMD inspects goods during production and prior to shipment
