COCA – COLA AMATIL

Stores will note that in the promotions we have cans , 1.25lt Coke and 2 lt Coke on promotion.

We have included the GST in the promotional price 

To get the promotional price stores need to run the promotions or these prices can be altered.

Your opposition put lines out on special and so should you !!!!!

Promoting these lines means putting the tickets on the fridge.

BALFOURS ALLOCATIONS

All stores would have received the paperwork for the last allocations on Balfours Bar Cakes, which will be credited to all stores on your Nov invoice.

Barcakes sell extremely well in our stores and are a sort after item that sell in some cases for over $5 IN SUPERMARKETS.

PIE & PASTY PRICING

Did you adjust the pricing of your pies and pastys and implement the price difference between Balfours and the opposition brands.

Many stores have done this and have not seen their unit sales go down , so their profit has gone up .

Remember a clean pie warmer sitting on the counter gets you sales , we recently had a member take over another store and it took him 2 weeks to clean and shine the pie warmer to a standard that enticed people to buy from the warmer.

Customers expect your pie warmer to LOOK GOOD

MILK PRICING 

Milk pricing in stores remains a hot topic.

Do you understand the new terms and the fact that you can get white milk into your store at $2.75 not $3.65 

Farmers Union Iced Coffee 600ml will come into your store at $2.35 not $2.55 

There will also be regular monthly promotions so you will see when Iced Coffee is on promotion it will then come in at $2.15

If you do not understand the new terms , call your Lion Rep

These savings apply if you are a GOLD customer which is based on facings in the fridge.

CONFECTIONARY

Our preferred supplier for confectionary is The Distributors who also supply groceries.

For those that use other suppliers you should split your deliveries between suppliers as one day, one of these suppliers will let you down and you will be surprised 

The Distributors also supply a great group of promotions every month with wanted novelty lines a specialty.

The Distributors are now the official suppliers of Byron Bay Cookies

WINDOWS

Windows are one of the greatest customer drawcards that you can have and we cannot impress upon you how much difference a clean and clean surrounds of your store makes.

  • The days of old advertising signage being stuck around entrances has long gone.
  • The days of posters stuck on windows advertising the local jumble sale has long gone 
  • Put up a signage board next to your store or in your store 
  • Use this to let local businesses that come into your store advertise 
  • Also clean your windows or get them cleaned 

Blacked out windows are not good for security in stores – nice clean windows and lights on allow people passing by to see into the store.
