Trade Spend
As an official vendor to the PAK'nSAVE Group every vendor is
required to promote with the Group. Funds (trade spend) should be
allocated to the Group based on its share and contribution to
business.
To ensure that there is fair and equitable spend, each vendor is
required to divulge the value of its trade spend with the Group.
This is to be expressed as a percentage to sales.
Foodstuffs South Island Limited will regularly monitor trade
spend to ensure it is in keeping with its share and that both
parties are mutually benefiting from the spend.
Business Reviews
Foodstuffs South Island Limited requires regular updates of
Company and category performance. PAK'nSAVE performance should be
benchmarked against its combined competitors performance and vendor
performance in the Total Supermarkets South Island region. Any
issues relating to market share, stocking, promotions and
planograms can then be addressed on a regular basis.
For all major vendors, quarterly, half yearly and annual reviews
are required. For all other vendors reviews will be arranged as
required. See your PAK'nSAVE Group Manager for a
standardised review format.
