The Support Services team also specializes in planning and executing new store sets and resets. The way products are displayed to customers provides important cross-merchandising opportunities, which can lead to increased sales and margins. Professional installation and consolidation of products by category can create a powerful merchandising presentation that will grab customers’ attention and meet their needs at the same time.

Marketing, advertising and brand development also plays an important role in the success of any business. Let the Support Services team develop powerful marketing tools designed to increase purchase consideration that will result in a positive shopping experience for your customers. Graphic wallboards, colored shelf molding, plastic shelf channels, product shelf tags, graphic shelf talkers and product navigation systems are just a few of the product marketing examples our team has successfully put in place. Promotional marketing is also an important part of business ownership. Our team will partner with you to develop a promotional marketing plan that is designed to drive traffic to your store while increasing sales and expanding customer purchasing trends. Some examples of effective promotions that have been successfully utilized include bag stuffers, newsletters, flyers, special events and product sampling events. Media consultation and strategic branding solutions are also available.

Analyzing your investments is also an important part of ensuring profitable growth of your bulk foods business. The Support Services team can provide a number of reports that will help you through the process of analysis, including colorized territory and store move-thru reports, store performance reports, category analysis and return on investment analysis. We can also help you to identify slow moving items for discontinuation, as well as suggest top selling items to add to your inventory.
