Manufacturers utilize trade promotions to encourage retailers to purchase their products. The primary types of trade promotions are trade allowances, trade incentives, trade shows, and trade contests. Each type of promotion provides manufacturers with a unique opportunity to stimulate sales. Trade allowances for instance provide retailers with discounts on their invoices. According to Clow & Baack (2014), “Approximately 35% of all trade dollars goes to off-invoice allowances” (p. 341). Trade allowances also include spotting fees and exit fees. These are fees that the manufacturer pays to the retailer to stock a product or remove a product from the shelf. It is assumed that retailers will pass on these discounts to the consumers, …show more content…
The company’s website could be set up to gather performance data. Trade shows and trade incentives will be engaged to reach these potential customers. Attending an industry trade show each quarter is optimal but due to the cost once the first year may be more realistic. Industry trade shows should include those for auto and repair shops as well as automobile trade shows. The company could benefit from an endorsement by one of the auto car racers currently using the product. Having one or more of these drivers accompany Terry to a trade show would be ideal. Trade show attendance provides Hot Fire with the opportunity to make national as well as international contacts. A budget will have to be set in place for the production of a nice visual display such as a floor display and lighting. Additionally, a table cover, pamphlets and promotional items such as business magnets will be needed. Hot Fire has the advantage of having a small product that will not have to be shipped ahead of time. That coupled with the fact that a large booth space is not required reduces some of the associated costs. Estimated expenses would be as follows: Floor display - $900 8’ Table cover - $300 Display shelf and lighting - $300 Pamphlets - $100 1000 Business card magnets - $175 Trade booth - $4000 Food and lodging per person - $550 Total trade related costs (not including mileage) - $6,325
This cost would be greatly reduced with the

In about 1852 the Borough of Green Bay purchased a portion of a lot on the east side of South Washington Street just south of Walnut Street. That site is currently the southern end of the Backstage at the Meyer. To promote a permanent fire department, the borough built a two-story wooden engine house there and obtained a new hand pumper fire engine. A new fire company (named Alert) formed, but ceased operations within two years, as had two previous fire companies in 1841 and 1847.

We recommend investing in the Web-Based Customer Portal. The expected high financial rewards with net present value of $346K and 41% IRR within five years (see Exhibit 1) are the main motivators.

In society as a whole, we have grown accustomed to learning more about a company through the help of websites. Websites gives us an understanding about a particular core values, their products, and even their reception to potential clients. By typing in an organizations name into our search engine, we will undoubtedly make a decision to buy their products or go to someone else. This fact makes creating a well thought-out website dire to the growth of a company. In my paper I expect to explore a fortune 500 company that has a huge influence in the restaurant business.

Until now, I was very unfamiliar with slotting fees. I never knew this practice existed until I read chapter 9. “Slotting fees are fees manufacturers pay to get their goods on the shelf in a retail store or supermarket chain” (Heizer and Render, 2011, p 347). If I understand this correctly, retailers require payment from manufacturers before agreeing to give shelf or space to the manufacturers’ product. In that case, I disagree with slotting fees. I was surprised to learn that in 1978 manufactures spent 5% of sales on trade promotions and today manufactures spend up to 13%. I was also surprised to learn that slotting fees can run up to $25,000 per item. That seems outrage in my opinion because not many small manufacturers are able to afford

With an average order from a retailer being $569 (Table 1), and the direct material and labor cost fixed at $267, the contribution margin per order at trade shows will be $302 (Table 2).
