deadline to enroll is quickly approaching.
Here is the 2nd Quarter important information for everyone on rebate.
Important Announcements, April, May, June 2013
Ordering;
Orders are to be placed and delivered the first week of the calendar month
starting of the Quarter. This will insure you will receive all promotional
“Deals” incorporated into the Plan-O-Gram for additional cost saving.
Merchandising:
A copy of the Plan-O-Gram included for your convenience.
By eliminating the other SKU’s not on the Plan-O-Gram (except customer’s
requests) this will reduce your floor stock inventory and increase your cash
flow.
Manufacturer newly released items are incorporated into the Plan-O-Gram;
Rotation of Newly Released Product will increase your sales for a 6 to 8 week
period!
“Keep the Customer coming back to your machine to see what’s New”
In addition to your Plan-O-Gram, you will receive a Program Manufacturer
listing. This list builds in flexibility for regional requests and customer
demands.
