1 Best Practice Sharing example : ‘Viva Brazil’ On Pack Promotion Execution in Asda (UK) Objective for the Execution of this activity : Deliver ‘Best Ever’ compliance of > 85% for Day 1 implementation of a Wilkinson-Sword promotion in Asda. What are the key actions that need to take place both internally and with the customer, to improve Day 1 compliance in a retailer that does not run many promotions and has low level of in store support for Razors & Blades Category. Learning’s & ‘Hints & tips’: Teamwork : Very important to communicate clear goals internally – everyone knew we were trying to break a compliance ‘record’ with this activity! Working with Customers : Very important to get the support of the Buyer – this ensured support from other functions (such as Supply Chain and Merchandising within the retailer). Continuous Improvement : POS updated to ensure ease of implementation and impactful communication - can your POS be improved? Field Merchandising : Challenges: Working with Asda (& internal challenges) : Gaining leverage with key influencers in Asda. Understanding and overcoming blockages that are caused by retailer systems & demands. Identifying promotional stock in Asda’s system. What you did to overcome: Buying Team support : Asda Buying Team helped us get all the relevant influencers together and introduced an unknown resource that could help us deliver in store. Planning and Focus through the process : Focussed ‘Execution’ team comprising sales, marketing and supply chain colleagues was formed to agree the plan and deliver on time and in full. Asda Account Executive led the detailed liaison between supply chain and Asda, with frequency of contact becoming more regular (almost daily) up to launch date and beyond) Investment & Resources: Asda ‘In House’ Field Support Team used for the 1 st time.
