Automotive

Fast growth channel with stores popping up across the country.  Consumers are keeping their cars longer and continuing to do preventative maintenance. We stand ready to help brands and retailers capitalize on the potential growth of this class of trade.

Club

We understand the unique challenges posed by the club store format. While an ordinary grocery store will stock approximately 50,000 items, a typical club store carries only about 4,000. Each item must meet a minimum sales threshold to maintain distribution. So when it comes to the club channel, we look for innovative and unique ways to introduce new brands and to grow existing brands.

Dollar Stores

One of the fastest-growing channels around, dollar stores succeed because of the extreme value they offer shoppers coupled with the easy-to-navigate small store format. Such growth means opportunity, with expanding product lines and a greater variety of shopper segments. But it also means competition, not only among dollar stores themselves but also from more traditional food, drug and mass merchandisers, which are striving to find their place among dollar store shoppers. We stand ready to help brands and retailers capitalize on the potential of the dollar store channel and avoid the pitfalls that can come with rapid growth.

Drug

Nowhere is the consumerism trend in health care more relevant than in the drug store channel. As consumers increasingly look to take control of their health, it has become imperative to understand their needs, preferences and shopping habits. We leverage our expertise to achieve superior results for clients and customers alike.

Grocery

Even with competition from mass merchandisers, clubs and dollar stores, the grocery channel is still growing, expanding categories such as ready-to-eat, featuring more sustainable and healthier items, and increasing promotional activity.

Hardware

Home improvement is a unique retail environment, this class of trade is showing a slight increase in business due to the housing crisis. Consumers are currently doing preventative maintenance instead of major remodeling projects. The unique challenges posed by this class of trade are to achieve superior results. We offer the programs and contacts to increase your business in this important segment.

Mass Merchandisers

Mass merchandisers and supercenters, featuring the benefits of one-stop, high-value shopping, have increasingly attracted shoppers away from grocery stores in recent years. But even with this growth, the fact that mass-merchandiser shoppers are so often driven by price means that brands in this channel must still find innovative ways to protect and grow market share, and we can help you do that.
