ON-DEMAND WEBINAR
The Retailer Relationship Playbook, Part 1
Recorded May 14, 2024
For brands, managing the relationship with key retailers is a critical and challenging task that all too often gets bogged down in tactical discussions about spending commitments, product pricing, and basic promotional support. But moving beyond those low-level dynamics to establish truly collaborative, business-building partnerships is a strategic imperative for brands looking to drive sustainable growth.
In this first-of-its kind webinar, Mars United Commerce outlines a unique strategy brands can use to leverage every interaction — from weekly buyer calls to annual top-to-top meetings — to enhance their status at every level of the retailer organization and elevate the relationship from transactional to transformational for both parties.
