With the price of fuel at record highs, in-store promos are more valuable than ever, driving traffic inside where you still have some margin.
If you are not set for promos yet, it’s not too late.
Login to the software system you are using and enter the starting and ending date of the promotion and the grouping of products. To speed up the process you should be able to select the promotion items by any of the following:
- UPC
- Price Group (common priced items, i.e. 20 oz Pepsi products)
- Category/Department
- Vendor
- Item Group (products grouped by manufacturer, i.e. all RJR products)
- Store or by Zones (groups of stores)
Within a few minutes you can set up all of your promotions from your home office ahead of time and send the products, the pricing, the beginning and the ending dates of the Memorial Day specials to all or selected stores in one easy process.
After the holiday, your system will automatically revert the sale items back to the regular pricing. If you are not able easily handle promotions with your current pricebook system, give me a call or check our website.
Have a safe and profitable weekend and don’t forget those who died in service to our country:
In Flanders Fields
John McCrae, 1915
In Flanders fields the poppies blow
Between the crosses, row on row,
That mark our place; and in the sky
The larks, still bravely singing, fly
Scarce heard amid the guns below.
We are the Dead. Short days ago
We lived, felt dawn, saw sunset glow,
Loved and were loved, and now we lie
In Flanders fields.
Take up our quarrel with the foe:
To you from failing hands we throw
The torch; be yours to hold it high.
If ye break faith with us who die
We shall not sleep,though poppies grow
In Flanders fields.
