Answer to Question 1

Ways manufacturers can avoid paying slotting allowances include spending heavily on R&D to develop meaningful new products, spending heavily on advertising to create consumers demand for these products, using extensive consumer promotions to create strong consumer pull for the brand, or simply refusing to pay them and accept the consequence of being refused shelf space by some, if not most, retail chains.
