I believe that...Thanks for your contribution, Mike.<br />I believe that any action needs to be driven by suppliers i.e. supplier is paying for quality of presence in store. The brand is being judged by its performance in the aisle, and it is critical that the shopper is given the opportunity to access that brand in the way intended/agreed in NAM-buyer discussions, and not simply fail because of lack of availability. Given the reductions in store staff levels, one can possibly envisage NAMs being asked to fund specialist in-store shelf-fillers as part of the compliance deal!! <br />Best wishes, Brian <br />Brian Moorehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14980359156331676576noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3996218699030196297.post-32755060368865578932016-04-20T08:45:33.217+01:002016-04-20T08:45:33.217+01:00Hi Brian, Thanks for sharing...

Any news?<br /><br />A quick aside: I remember Tesco pushing for Net net pricing, everything at the front way back in around 1991 - a promise that they would never charge anything over that, ever, etc. <br /><br />One additional worry for NAMs to keep in mind, therefore, is how to defend against back margin creep.
