Who’s in Control? • Suppliers
Why? • Lack of shelf space • Lack of SKUs • Horrible margins • Strong brand loyalty • Quality differences difficult to determine
Private Label • Private label’s should decrease presence in this category • There is a low GM% on auto dish detergent with P/L and the increasing National Brands are starting to have an effect on P/L sales
Recommendations • GM for P/L powder are lower than national brands • Too much depth
