Household
Whilst the Food & Beverage industry is quite often a focus for many FMCG companies, the Household products category which has almost identical distribution channels, is also a key player in this market.
Products ranging from toilet tissue, paper towels, serviettes, baby care, feminine hygiene products, gloves, cleaning cloths and cleaning products (eg detergents, laundry powders, drain cleaners etc) are inevitably found in most consumer shopping trolleys on their regular visit to the supermarket.
The Household products industry is also a highly competitive area with hundreds of brands competing to capture your attention. In many cases, Trade Promotion Effectiveness is even more important in this category as the nature of these products being functional rather than fashionable, means they are under even more scrutiny of price and value for money decisions.
The Grocer publication quotes:
- UK manufacturers spend £8 billion a year funding trade promotions
- Retailers pocketed 90% of incremental promotion profits last year (2009) up from 78% in 2003
- 70% of manufacturers report “more” or “far more” sales were made on promotion compared with last year
- The proportion of sales made on promotion was reported as “too many” or “far too many” by 52% of suppliers
