Dr. Janak Singh Kushwah

ABSTRACT

Trade marketing is a type of marketing that focuses on increasing demand among wholesalers, retailers, and distributors rathe r than consumers. However, brand
management methods must continue to be implemented in order to meet consumer demand. A shopper, who may or may not be a customer, is someone who
recognizes and purchases a product from a retailer, even if they do not intend to buy the items at the end of the day. To ensure that a retalerpromotoes, a
corporation must also sell their product to etailers by offering high discounts compared to competitors. Offering various tangible/intangible rewards to merchants,
such as commission on sales, is another kind of trade marketing.The core concept of trade marketing is to sell your items along the value chain and at the point of
sale, which is the store. Consider the idea of generating demand for your items through several channels and before they reach the consumer. This is one of the
earliest kinds of marketing and is generally found in a brick and mortar environment. Distributors / givers are channel trade partners who provide as a medium to
ensure stock delivery / availability for consumers across geographies (as part of the route to market).

Introduction :-

Because their customers have distinct requirements and expectations, your various business to business customers (retailers, out-of-home channels,
food service) have different demands and expectations. To get your products to market, you'll need a separate action plan for each one: various
advertising campaigns, different communication, different materials, and so on.
A retailer is referred to as a Sale Outlet. In trade marketing, a retailer is also a target customer. Customers and shoppers are the focus of trade marketing
strategies. As a result, trade marketing should deliver customers and shopper-based value development plans to sales outlets. Manufacturers can
encounter shoppers and consumers at sales outlets (customers).

Methods of Trade Marketing :-

Trade marketing's basic method focuses on sales fundamentals including distribution, display, promotion, and price. Trade marketing builds market
strategy that is connected with brand strategy using data and knowledge of salers fundamentals. Trade marketing assists sales forces with well-designed
basic enhancement programs in order to achieve sales volume and value. .

Current trends in trade marketing :-

Profit margins are becoming increasingly important to shopkeepers and retailers. They try to get the most margins out of one firm by referencing larger
margins granted to a competitor.
A The concentration on customer data is a current trend in trade marketing. According to a study conducted by Deloitte in 201 6, digital interactions and
experiences have an impact on customer spending. Retailers have recognized this trend and it has influenced their strategies. In order to provide
individualized consumer experiences, retailers concentrate their efforts on E-mail, mobile, and social media marketing initiatives. As a result, marketers
must develop comprehensive trade marketing plans based on consumer data, as well as individualized customer experiences that influence sales and
purchase patterns.

Why is Trade marketing important :-

Trade marketing is just as vital as traditional marketing for a variety of reasons. The first is self-evident: if your product does not make it into retail
stores, it will almost certainly not make it to consumers. It is critical to build positive, long-term connections with members of the supply chain, as it is
practically difficult to compete with other companies without them.
Another reason trade marketing is so important is that it is sometimes a company's best option for rising above the noise of its competitors, particularly
if the company is in the FMCG industry (fast moving consumer good). Because there are so many different brands providing comparable items,
businesses must rely on trade marketing to demonstrate the benefits of their brand to those who assist them sell it.

Trade marketing Manager :-

A trade marketing manager's goal is to establish marketing strategies that reach the target audience while also overseeing the trade marketing
department's activities. A trade marketing manager should have a solid marketing background and B2B negotiation experience.They should be able to
evaluate and comprehend marketing trends and data, as well as be enthusiastic about their marketing endeavors' goals. Developing and implementing
campaigns to increase demand among supply chain partners, such as loyalty programs and new product launches, would be among t heir tasks.

What is Trade Marketing :-

Let's start with an explanation of what trade marketing is. To put it another way, trade marketing is a B2B marketing strategy that aims to get a product
into retail shelves. This is accomplished by convincing other businesses of the value of your product and persuading them that assisting you in selling
your goods will help them generate money as well.Traditional marketing has a different goal than trade marketing. since it isn't centered on the end sale
Trade marketing, on the other hand, concentrates on how that final transaction is made. You must get your products in front of customers before they
can decide whether or not to buy them.

Who uses Trade Marketing :-

Manufacturers perform trade marketing campaigns aimed at supply chain partners such as distributors, wholesalers, and, of course, retailers. While
trade marketing is critical for a range of businesses, it is especially important for those in the consumer packaged goods (C PG) industry, where fierce
rivalry and a battle for shelf space make standing out even more challenging.

Conclusion :-

While trade marketing adheres to many of the same fundamental concepts as traditional shopper marketing, it has its own set of challenges. Remember
that the goal of trade marketing is to locate partners who can assist you along the path, not to make a final sale.Many businesses, particularly those in
the CPG area where differentiating apart is tough, rely heavily on trade marketing. The first step in proving your items are more than just another brick
in the wall is to learn how to approach trade marketing and develop a complete strategy.
