Retail Brokers October News / by Richard Pascoe

BALFOURS PROMOTIONS 

All Balfours Premium Pie Range and Donuts are on SPECIAL until the 31st Oct , details are on the promotion page but WE EXPECT ALL STORES TO SUPPORT THESE PROMOTIONS as they will generate sales and profit 

Please take note that Croissants are also on promotion 

PRICE RISES

Balfours will have a small price rise during October and all stores will be advised by mail and we will put this up on the website as soon as we are given the new pricing .

Vilis will also undergo a price rise effective 30th Sept 

WINDOWS 

When was the last time you looked at your windows ????

  • Decals that are old and peeling should come off.
  • Adverts that are old , should come off

Clean windows look far better so that customers can see into your store 

LION MILK TERMS

Lion representatives are progressively coming to all stores to explain the new milk terms that they are offering based not on volume but on facings.

  • They will need your time to explain the terms which cannot be done quickly 
  • They will demonstrate the savings that can be made.

Any concerns please contact us.

THE DISTRIBUTORS

The Distributors are the preferred suppliers for confectionary for the group and they do have an extensive range of groceries.

Their pricing and service are excellent, and that is before the discount as part of the group

If you have not seen a rep from them or need to place an order ring them on 83412111

The Distributors have their own page on the website to highlight their extensive range of promotions and products.

PRICING OF PIES / PASTYS

Pricing of pastry products from bakeries is varied across all stores but it is all about making the correct profit from lines across the range and suppliers.

You cannot sell all pies and pasties for the same price , while it maybe easier for your staff it is costing you profit 

One system that is used by a lot of stores is to double the cost price and minus 30c and add on GST

Please see below for an example:

Product :Balfours Pie

Cost Price x 2 :$3.88 - $1.94

Minus 30c :$3.58

Plus GST:$3.95

Suggested Sell: $3.95

Product: Opposition Pie

Cost Price x 2 :$5.20 - $2.60

Minus 30c :$4.90

Plus GST :$5.40

Suggested Sell: $5.40
