You must pay a listing fee per product item in Supermarkets, and Carrefour, if your product doesn't perform it will be thrown out after a probation period. The percent is between 20 and 30%, depending on the supermarket involved. Payment is 90 days
You will have to negotiate with the purchaser for the department concerned. If your retail price is not feasible they will not take your goods, check prices out. Listing Fee price also depends on the product, they are all different.terence0618 wrote:Wow, thanks for the info...your knowledge very good!ksl wrote:terence0618 wrote:Hi All,

An example because we do many flavours, so we pay Listing fee, then a fee per flavour. To be honest plates, bowls and mugs will be tough going, there are really many competitors.
You should think of something else, that people need, you need volume sales with fast moving products!
If you like i can meet up for a coffee after the holidays!, I was at the Malaysian International trade fair on the 21st to the 24th, I have plenty of products and ideas.terence0618 wrote:Thanks Ksl for your valuable pointer.

Have you registered your business yet, do you drive and speak Chinese or Malay?
If you are in Thailand, you can earn some cash on Ylang Ylang oil it retails in Singapore over 30$ some areas 39$, sell to the pushcart people, they cannot get it so easy becuase its expensive. Thailand is cheap! Though don't buy too much, just enough to test the market through the push carts and oil shops. I took 10 bottles for my own use!terence0618 wrote:Hmm....Ksl, I will go back Singapore in Sept for a week or more...currently in Thailand...but due to volatile in Thailand...I coming back.ksl wrote:If you like i can meet up for a coffee after the holidays!, I was at the Malaysian International trade fair on the 21st to the 24th, I have plenty of products and ideas.terence0618 wrote: Thanks Ksl for your valuable pointer.

Not only will the line be deleted, but you would need to take back all the stock on the shelves, including refund if money was paid for stock.ksl wrote: if your product doesn't perform it will be thrown out after a probation period.
This is correct, are you in the same businessSplatted wrote:Not only will the line be deleted, but you would need to take back all the stock on the shelves, including refund if money was paid for stock.ksl wrote: if your product doesn't perform it will be thrown out after a probation period.
Usually you have to commit to a certain level of advertising (eg tv) when you enter these types of agreements.
Not in same business,.. but my new employer happens to also own most of the supermarkets in Singapore... so you get to hear a little bit about the basics from colleaguesksl wrote:This is correct, are you in the same businessSplatted wrote:Not only will the line be deleted, but you would need to take back all the stock on the shelves, including refund if money was paid for stock.ksl wrote: if your product doesn't perform it will be thrown out after a probation period.

Not only supermarkets but other department stores as well. I distributed map books into Walmart, Target, Sam's Club, etc. On average, they charged us one dollar per shelf foot per month to display the merchandise, and the price went up as you went to higher shelves or a competitor came in and offered to buy up your shelf space.louy wrote:This stuff is really interesting. I had no idea this is how supermarkets work. Is this just supermarkets in general or just in Asia ??
I found this stuff interesting not because I have something to sell to supermarkets (wish I did), but because I had done work for Supermarkets back in UK and work in retail now - but from a finance perspective and would like curious about the wider operations.
Thanks for the Info.
