Competition among companies fighting for consumer attention within the same market is intense. How do you make sure that the retailer that stocks your products, will favor you over your competitor in the placement of your product within his/her store?

 

Marketing to the customer base is important but it’s not enough. Each node in the supply chain can be made to favor your product by means of marketing; all the way up to the Point of Sale, the retail store. This is trade marketing: The process of promoting a company’s products to other companies. It is geared towards trade buyers and distributors.

Trade marketing is an essential part of any company’s marketing strategy. It is responsible for marketing across different levels, including developing a product's pricing strategy, identifying target markets, and designing advertising campaigns.

 

Trade marketing campaigns are often tailored to specific industries, such as construction, manufacturing, or retail. It can be done on an individual basis or as part of a larger marketing campaign.

 

There are many ways to market your product to supply chain vendors. Some of the major ones are promotions, sales discounts, commissions, etc. There are three types of trade marketing: direct-to-trade, indirect-to-trade, and trade advertising.

 

Direct-to-trade advertising is when marketers send their sales representatives out into the field with samples and presentations for customers. Indirect-to-trade means that marketers use sales representatives who have contacts or have built a network within different industries to promote their products, while trade advertising is buying space in magazines and newspapers that have good readership numbers.
