RETAINER , AD HOC, AND NON-RETAINER DAVID BIERNBAUM & ASSOCIATES THE PARTNERS NERSHI HIP P THAT REALLY WORKS KS

AVOIDING 7 COMMON “DISCONNECTS.” 1. Mis-management of brokers by failing to keep a highly experienced razor sharp eye on everything they do from the minute you send the first box of samples. Also it is often “fatal” to send a broker alone to “show” your product without adequate preparation, detail, and without a skilled master broker or sales manager to represent the brand and the company in a more comprehensive way. 2. Incomplete retail presentation without the essential elements of a comprehensive proposal. 3. Not having the right package design and markings for the “real world” of retail stores, shelf environment, consumer behavior, gender, target market, etc. 4. To be out-finessed by the often overlooked indirect hidden competition. 5. Underestimating the true costs and commitments for retail distribution, pricing, and promotion. 6. Being pressed into an unfavorable deal by a retailer or broker that you will never overcome. 7. A product hits the shelves without an action plan to drive sufficient velocity, and therefore the product is delisted after just a few months.
