WHY HIRE A BROKER?
1.
STORE AUDITS
* Due to COVID-19 precautions, we currently only perform store audits on a limited basis. There are stores that we hit more regularly than others with spot checks performed regularly at as many retailers as safety allows.
2.
TRACKERS
We build and maintain trackers for client existing distribution and for any new business that’s developed. Our account executives update them on a monthly basis. New business is updated and tracked immediately.
3.
PRESENTATIONS
We make product presentations in sync with published category review schedules and are all virtual at this time. We are adept at digital presenting and facilitate in-depth training for buyers, department heads and store managers. We include clients in category review meetings and ensure all team members have access to files.
4.
MERCHANDISING + AD PLANNING
Our team works hand-in-hand to help buyers understand what products will work and fit within their goals and brand. We leverage Merchandising and Ad Planning (MAAP) Solutions to exceed planning needs and retail goals.
5.
MARKET DATA
We use a variety of syndicated market data and retailer score cards to aid with business decisions, based on performance standards in a product set. We identify opportunities to fill gaps within categories.
