Distribution Checks

Ensuring that your products are available and properly positioned in the marketplace is crucial for driving sales and maintaining a competitive edge. At Communication and Marketing Research Group Limited (CMRG), our Distribution Checks service is designed to provide you with comprehensive insights into your product’s availability, visibility, and compliance across various retail outlets. This service helps you optimize your distribution strategy and ensures that your products are reaching your target consumers effectively.

What We Offer:

1. Availability Assessment: Our Distribution Checks service includes a thorough assessment of your product’s availability across different retail locations. We monitor whether your products are in stock and how consistently they are being replenished, ensuring that you meet consumer demand without interruptions.

2. Shelf Placement and Visibility Analysis: Beyond mere availability, we evaluate the positioning and visibility of your products on the shelf. This includes checking whether your products are placed in the intended locations, at eye level, and in high-traffic areas. Proper shelf placement is key to attracting consumer attention and maximizing sales.

3. Compliance Monitoring: We ensure that your retail partners are adhering to your agreed-upon distribution agreements. This includes checking for compliance with planogram guidelines, promotional displays, pricing strategies, and other contractual obligations. Non-compliance can lead to missed sales opportunities and diminished brand presence, so our monitoring helps you address issues proactively.

4. Competitive Benchmarking: Understanding how your product distribution compares to that of your competitors is essential for maintaining a competitive advantage. We benchmark your distribution metrics against those of your key competitors, providing insights into their availability, shelf space, and promotional activities.

5. Promotional Effectiveness Evaluation: If you’re running in-store promotions, we assess how effectively these promotions are executed at the point of sale. This includes evaluating the placement of promotional materials, the accuracy of pricing, and the overall impact on product visibility and sales.

6. Data-Driven Insights and Reporting: Our Distribution Checks service includes detailed reports that provide actionable insights into your distribution network’s performance. These reports highlight areas where your distribution strategy is excelling and where improvements are needed, helping you make informed decisions to optimize your distribution channels.
