What is a retailer recommendation program?

The retail recommendation program can be defined as the retailer recommending products or services to the customer, which the customer then tends to buy. It has been observed that the actual buyer is open to recommendations while he goes to purchase a product in the market. The product recommended by the retailer is more likely to be chosen than others.

  • Is the retailer recommending your brand?
  • How does the retailer approach and sell it?
  • Are you getting value for retailer incentives?
An example

An example

A customer visits an electronics store to buy a T.V. but gets confused about which brand he should buy, so he asks the shopkeeper to tell him the features of the various brands' T.V.s available.

The shopkeeper recommends that he buy the T.V. of a particular brand.

The reason the shopkeeper recommended a particular brand is that brands give shopkeepers various offers, discounts, promotions and gifts in order to make them recommend their brand to customers.

This whole process is called Retailer Recommendation.
