Answer to Question 1

Incentives to members of the trade include awards in the form of travel, gifts, or cash bonuses for reaching targeted sales levels. These can induce retailers and wholesalers to give a firm's brand added attention. Push money is a type of incentive involving monetary rewards to salespeople who feature and ultimately sell a particular brand.

Allowances are seen in several forms as used in a push strategy. Merchandise allowances, in the form of free products packed with regular shipments, act as payments to the trade for setting up and maintaining displays. Shelf space has become so highly demanded, especially in supermarkets, that manufacturers are making direct cash payments, known as slotting fees, to induce food chains to stock an item. Monetary discounts are also seen in the form of bill-back allowances and off-invoice allowances.

Training programs have become an increasingly popular trade promotion for retail store personnel. The increased complexity of many durable consumer goods has made it important for manufacturers to ensure that the proper pieces of information and the most persuasive themes are reaching consumers at the point-of-purchase.

Cooperative advertising occurs when the manufacturer shares the cost of media with the retailer. This extends the reach and frequency for both brands, at less cost than advertising alone.
