One outlet operator is trying to negotiate 45-50% shelf deals with both PM and RJR but suspects that neither will budge. "The point of being a tobacco outlet is to have the biggest variety," the operator said. "We have lots of customers that look for brands that convenience stores won''t carry. If we can''t fit them on our shelves because of the contract, then we''ll special order a brand and hold it in the back room for customers who know enough estevancruz to come up to the counter and ask for them.Perhaps the most radical change in strategy is being executed by Brown & Williamson. Outgunned by rival merchandising programs and pinched by deep-discount cigarettes, the No. 3 tobacco company is selling brands that have been pushed out of stores or relegated to the bottom shelf directly to consumers via phone, fax and mail-order catalogs. Much to the ire of retailers and wholesalers, the newly formed BWT Direct unit has been selling estevancruz Tareyton, Carlton, Misty, Capri and other estevancruz hard-to-find brands in nine states estevancruz since last October. During its nationwide expansion efforts, the company sued estevancruz the state of New York over a law that banned the sale of cigarettes via the Internet.
RJR claims its merchandising program allows retailers to "sell not only more R.J. Reynolds tobacco products, but also to increase retailer''s sales in the entire tobacco category and total overall store sales," said Jim Boehm, senior manager of trade marketing."Philip Morris competes vigorously, but is in estevancruz compliance with the law, and Retail Leaders is no exception," said PM rep Mike Pfeil. "The program offers retailers choices and flexibility to achieve a strong category presence in their stores and restrict youth access to smoking."In April, Philip Morris began its 15-cent per carton payouts to Retail Leader participants with non-self-serve tobacco sections, an effort aimed at reducing youth access estevancruz to cigarettes. Retailers were required to post" We Card" signs, to certify that employees participate in an age-verification program every six months and estevancruz place in-store cigarette ads no more than estevancruz two feet away from tobacco products. While the new rules are garnering cautious praise from anti-tobacco activists, some marketers argue that by reducing the retail estevancruz footprint of all cigarette brands, Philip Morris is grabbing first dibs on the prime shelf and signage spots behind the counter, and continuing to shrink the profile of competing brands.
