It is time for sales & merchandising at an informal level where the customers buy! In the contemporary world of commerce, brands invest substantial sums of money to secure shelf space and maximize their market share compared to competitors. However, a harsh reality exists: these brands often find themselves competing for attention with merchandisers who operate well beyond their capacities. The primary challenge brands face is ensuring they receive commensurate value for their investments, especially within the retail sector where they ultimately serve end consumers. On the other hand, the dynamics of sales and merchandising take on a distinct form in the wholesale or independent wholesale market. Wholesalers typically engage in bulk sales and are not primarily consumer-focused. While this scenario has evolved somewhat in recent times, the age-old standard still holds true: they manage their own shelf space, for which the brand foots the bill. This sector predominantly caters to the informal retail sector, where buying decisions are often made well before retail customers enter a store. So, the question arises: who truly serves as the bridge between your brands and consumers? The answer largely lies with the informal retail sector. It's intriguing to note that brands heavily rely on reaching the mass population through this sector, yet it receives the least investment and attention. Given that this sector contributes billions in annual revenue, it's high time to pay it the attention it deserves to maximize your brand's potential. To do so effectively, it's essential to move beyond conventional sales and merchandising approaches and embrace a more personalized and customized strategy. This strategy ensures that your brand remains visible and readily available, while also considering the diverse market segments that require tailored approaches to reach consumers effectively.

In the realm of establishing success criteria to unlock the full potential of your strategies, it is absolutely essential to dedicate your time and effort to gain a profound understanding of your customers and their behaviors. This understanding proves immensely beneficial when aligning your strategy with the personas that likely exist within your customer base. After several field trips into the informal market, a few distinct personas begin to reveal themselves as definitive groups operating within the traditional liquor trade. Over time, I will continue to refine and expand upon these personas, and I look forward to sharing them with you as they evolve.
