Vendor barrier enter Modern Retail Outlets

It is very hard to make selling in modern retailers in Indonesia. It's difficult entry, many costs. It's so, does not guarantee its products glance buyers,said a retail supplier of modern, half-complaining.

Supplier's complaint seems to be tolerated. Because, entering the goods (production) to modern retailers (hypermarkets, supermarkets, or mini) is not an easy affair. Especially for small suppliers. They usually have to comply with the trading terms. In addition, they also have to pay a listing fee and such fee gondola fee. However, all is not guarantee that they ogled merchandise buyers, because they can not just strategic placement. although its already paid, does not mean that suppliers can sleep calmly. Still overshadowed the possibility of its products in-delete by retailers, Sambas said Winata, Marketing Director of PT Tang Mas (Group 2 Tang).

According to Sambas, in order to enter the modern retail, other than taking things easy is difficult, also cost a lot. There are several requirements that bind the supplier if they want to continue displaying their products. Among other things, pay attention to the existence of term trading system. Usually, the modern retailer requested a portion of 30% of sales - if negotiate can be 10%. Also, there is a gondola fee and dancing-up fee (so products can be installed in the hallway shelf). Each retailer does have different standards. One of the hypermarket, for example, charge a fee of Rp 2 million per week per store. Imposition of costs also continued to shelving on ordinary shelves. This is specific to a particular retailer who is œmenjualâ € â €? shelf. The goal, seducing suppliers put a lot of product. The cost varied, ranging from USD 500 thousand to Rp 1 million per month per store. And there are still many other expenses that must be borne by suppliers, such as promotions.

So, how to suppliers (producers) can successfully market its products in modern retail, so the cost of the issuance is not in vain? â € œAgar successful working of modern markets need effective ways and techniques, â €? Joko said, consulting the distribution of Kasa Research. According to Joko, there are several alternative techniques or tips that can be done by suppliers or brand owners to marketing its products in modern retail network to be successful, ranging from studying consumer behavior to place the key account manager is good at negotiation (see box).

Meanwhile, Harry Sanusi, CEO and President Director of Kino Corporation, suggested suppliers should be clever-clever chose rent. Once a place is selected, the supplier should try to find a location or a certain level is good. For example, for children's products certainly display adjusted with the height of children. Terminology, eye-level. For example, in the end gondola, at the checkout counter, or on regular shelves. However, recognized Harry, all it needs big cost.

In addition, if the product can already signed, suppliers must be clever in negotiations. Similarly, in terms of promotion. In addition to the promotion with retailers, suppliers also need to promote their own products. In essence, the supplier must find a way so that their products could be leading. â € œWe have changed from number one or die. The only way, ya have to create demand, â €? said Harry.

Harry's argument, if it could be number one in a modern retail outlets, a product must have high bargaining power, so easy to negotiate. so, it was determined by the achievement of product sales itself.

Harry admitted, many laws and disproportionate bargaining between suppliers and retailers. For example, in terms of promotion, the retailer has to determine the supplier must perform a few times a promotion. Suppliers also charged campaign, which reached 10% of sales. then, they sent selecting programs that fit with us and adjusted with a set budget retailers,said Harry. but, if our products could become the market leader, the retailer will not be arbitrary. Therefore, they must sell products.

Harry was also suggested, so that no out-of-stock items or to process expedited shipping (from the warehouse to the shelf), the supplier should put the sales clerk (usually termed a sales promotion girl [SPG]). Because, although the retailer uses an automated system, the possibility of human error is still there. Thus, sales personnel need to be placed there. Kino parties, for example, placing 1-2 SPG (houseful and personal care), depending on the large-small its hypermarkets. In fact, Kino has a mobile SPG, which move from one retail outlet to other retail outlets. For example, one to three hyermarket SPG, and there are only stay in one place. Depending on their needs. â € œKalau not be managed like that, bujetnya not strong. If large companies could put three SPG's more, â €? said Harry.

According to Harry, to be displayed in modern retail outlets, one product could cost you different. It's known, each retailer has a different tariff. For example, for personal care products in one of the hypermarket is the charge could reach USD 6 million. Rate it just for one item at a store outlets. If you have five items, for example, means counting: 5 x USD 6 million x number of stores. â € œBelum again, if a different size multiplied by two again. For example if the size of 50 ml with 100 ml, is multiplied by two. This count will change if suppliers had only one category. Not multiplied, can be directly charged USD 600 million at the same time, â €? said Harry.

Given the high fees charged when they want to put products into a modern retail network, Budiono Gondosiswanto have certain tricks. President Director and owner of PT songgo Geni Majum - manufacturer of household cleaning (detergent, hand soap, floor cleaner) - it would prefer to be maklun (managing outsourcing contracts) for the house brand / store brand of a hypermarket.

The result, according Budiono, very satisfying. Surplus brand its products which are able to occupy the top three brands in terms of sales for the category of household cleaning products at Carrefour. No doubt, some of modern retailers in Indonesia hunt for his services, such as Hero, Giant, Alpha and Indomaret.

According Budiono, a house brand maklun for the modern retailer costs are relatively lighter than go with the brand itself. "The important thing is to maintain price levels remain below the average market price, with good enough quality. During that can be maintained, then we will continue their goods birthday message, â €? he said. Still, the risks also exist, namely development costs, production and packaging is charged to the producer. Until the year 2002 is still a maklun Budiono house brand for several hypermarkets and other modern retailers, with a turnover of USD 250-300 million / month. However, currently only supply company for Makro, Alfa and Yogya.
