IV MA XIMISING TRADITIONS | THE SHOP. SHOPPER. SHOPKEEPER | OCTOBER 2015
Samuel1, a sales leader of a major FMCG manufacturer in
Vietnam, was faced with a challenge: servicing Vietnam’s slew
of traditional trade stores with limited resources. In order to
prioritise the multitude of traditional grocery stores scattered
across the country, he ordered a store segmentation project
which enabled him to group outlets based on claimed sales
performance. Based on the store segmentation result, his sales
force was directed to stores representing the biggest sales
potential. But Samuel was dissatisfied with the outcome; the
classification of outlets appeared inaccurate, and staff lacked
insight into which products they should push in each store.
1Real case, but name has been changed
Samuel’s dilemma is not unique. In fact, it’s a fairly common
challenge. Many FMCG sales teams lack fundamental knowledge
on the traditional trade landscape, such as the location (where) of
the stores which represent the biggest opportunity, products (what)
which offer the largest potential, and promotional activities (how)
which will yield the maximum conversion.
Such insights are critical to developing a comprehensive sales
strategy which takes local market nuances into account. Due to the
sheer diversity of Southeast Asia’s retail sector, a one-size-fits-all
approach is rarely sufficient.
Indeed, brand building and sales development can be achieved by
combining shop, shopper and shopkeeper insights into an effective
segmentation to truly drive activation across the various shopper
touchpoints along their path to purchase. A multi-lens view approach
is required in order to win the hearts of both the shoppers and the
shopkeepers.

THE FRAGMENTED WORLD OF TRADITIONAL TRADEIn Southeast Asia, traditional grocery is the largest channel both in
terms of store numbers and sales contribution, and in major cities
like Ho Chi Minh City or Jakarta, traditional trade accounts for more
than 70% of FMCG sales.

Java Rural | MAT 2015 we 14 June
By and large, shoppers visit traditional trade stores due the proximity
to their homes, and a large proportion of purchases in traditional
grocery stores are planned, from catering to ‘everyday needs’ to top-
up shopping and even main shopping.
The planned shoppers regard their local grocery store as a pantry
extension, buying their daily cooking, homecare or personal care
needs. Such purchases are planned in advance and the majority of
shoppers have already made their brand choice before they enter the
store. Importantly, planned shopping implies the potential for bigger
basket size or offering new pack formats within the repertoire of
regularly shopped brands.
Yet, having elements of both impulse and planned in traditional trade
stores can open up immense opportunities. Modern trade has an
edge over traditional trade on variety, selection, promotional activity
and high quality premium products. Traditional trade can replicate
these by more frequent rotation of new products, adding variety
within impulse categories, or having promotions by day of week to
entice shoppers.

The typical traditional trade store offers limited space.For example, the average selling area of a traditional store in Vietnam is 19 square metres. Hence, manufacturers often
jostle for shelf presence and share of voice.
Source: Nielsen Annual Census, Retail Audit Data, 2014
In many cases shoppers are unable to enter the store or prefer to stay
on their motorcycle to save time, making it necessary to voice their
product requests to the store owner. As a result, shopkeepers have a
significant inf luence on product selection.
8 MA XIMISING TRADITIONS | THE SHOP. SHOPPER. SHOPKEEPER | OCTOBER 2015
WINNING STRATEGIES FOR STORE SEGMENTATIONFMCG manufacturers have long been segmenting consumers
and shoppers into homogeneous groups, and developing specific
products to appeal to specific segments has helped manufacturers to
achieve new levels of performance. In the same way, manufacturers
now realise the same principles of segmentation can be applied to
retail stores to help their sales teams to be more successful.
There are three typical approaches used to group and prioritise
stores – using location attributes, performance attributes, and a
combination of store performance and physical attributes. Each
approach has its benefits and limitations, and ideally an approach
should be selected based on budget, resources and level of
sophistication of the sales organisation.
LOCATION ATTRIBUTESDividing stores into regions or areas by store density, GDP,
population density, economic class or income level enables efficient
planning of sales force numbers by region and provides guidance
on brands/SKUs to be pushed in each region. For example, a strong
GDP per capita makes a market attractive for companies to push
mass premium ranges.
Modelling across multiple data sources will help identify high
potential provinces/districts that would help realise potential with
lower cost of reach.

PERFORMANCE ATTRIBUTESWhether at total store level or individual category level, performance
attributes provide a clear focus for store visits to the most
potential stores and sales territories can be allocated based on
the store performance profile. It is complex and cost-intensive for
manufacturers to reach all the category stores. Understanding how
your distribution is built can help identify and quantify distribution
opportunities.

BRINGING THE SHOPPER AND THE SHOPKEEPER INTO THE SEGMENTATION SOLUTIONEfficient sales outreach which both drives sales and contributes to
brand building can only occur when sales forces are equipped with
actionable knowledge to implement effective in-store strategies. While
traditional segmentation such as location and physical attributes
provide helpful insight, actionable knowledge requires segmentation
analysis which encompasses multiple dimensions on attributes
around the shopper and the shopkeeper.

Sufficient shopper insight helps to drive brand, pricing and in-
store promotional activities efficiently. Shopper profiles based on
demographics, behaviours, needs and psychographics, provide key
indicators of the products to be placed and the promotions that
should be implemented, as well as the price strategy to apply given
shoppers’ price sensitivity. Understanding missions and store choice
helps to identify the right categories and pack sizes to focus on.
Further, understanding what shoppers are buying based on their
mission type assists in defining product placement, and providing
insight, while shoppers’ conversion triggers provide invaluable
insight for brand and supporting point-of-sale material visibility.
Conversely, building a greater understanding of shopkeepers helps
to win their hearts by providing value not only to their business,
but also to their personal situation. The profile of the shopkeeper,
based on the same four areas, can be indicative of the type of sales
call needed and which personal incentives will be most impactful.
Meanwhile, understanding the business needs of traditional grocery
shopkeepers and owners, which often gravitate around efficiency,
longevity, differentiation and community, is a strong indicator for
choice of products and in-store activities to be implemented. And
understanding how the operations are being run helps to identify
value-add activities that reduce operation time and costs incurred by
the shopkeeper.

“My wife encountered a windfall, and this was the suggested business. The suppliers should help with consignments, and it’s also a big help if they can provide POS material. Branded signage is OK, preferably of key brands that sell.”– Medium size traditional grocery retailer, Philippines
“I opened a store because it was needed by everybody. It allows me to help the people around. But age is becoming a problem. I would love suppliers to treat general stores the same as a modern store, supporting with modern shelves just like in a supermarket. So my store will look nicer and attract more people.”– Large size traditional grocery retailer, Indonesia

Ensuring a good reach to both the shopper and the shopkeeper
and developing messages and solutions which resonate and drive
product support are the in-store executional drivers that make a store
segmentation and prioritisation truly effective.
In any of the solutions, attributes used to identify the segments
should be easy and practical enough to be gathered by a sales rep for
any store in the universe. Once able to understand the segment, the
sales team can work on the strategic priorities and related tactical
plans required within that segment.
SHOPKEEPERS SAY HOW MANUFACTURERS CAN HELP
Pilfering is a barrier to encouraging shoppers to browse in-store
They need greater support such as flexibility in payment terms for slow moving items
They want to grow but are frustrated by the size of their stores
Customers are becoming more conscious of quality and increasingly look at expiration dates
XX.XX.XX
Small retailers design their own promotions based on giveaways and promotional items from company salesmen to attract customers or push slow moving items
Retailers are skeptical of visible point-of-sales (POS) material and prefer branded shelf displays and coolers for the added advantage of storage
Review packaging, provide mockups, position products either near shopkeeper or front-of-store
Adapt payment schemes by sales rotation
Expand product range beyond physical store, leverage mobile and online technology
Develop a scheme to identify, sell-out or retrieval of perishable items
Provide more autonomy to shopkeepers in the mechanic and timing of promotions
Provide POS material that also provides solutions to store operations

MAXIMISING TRADITIONS IN SOUTHEAST ASIAAchieving productive store visits is a priority for sales force leaders
across the world, and especially so in countries which are still
dominated by traditional trade, and where there is an enormous
number of stores in the universe.
Efficiency can only be obtained through a rigorous approach that
involves a prioritisation of outlets, and a focused approach to
ranging and promotional activities within those outlets.
Too often, sales force knowledge is limited to store size, location and
performance when creating store clusters. While these attributes
are effective in directing sales efforts toward the right stores, they
provide limited insight into which strategic objective should be
reached in each cluster.
To develop and implement thorough, impactful strategies, it is
critical to incorporate shopper and shopkeeper dimensions into
segmentation parameters, either sequentially or simultaneously.
Traditional trade is a complex and highly competitive channel that is
here to stay for the foreseeable future. Understanding the dynamics
across the three critical pillars of shop, shopper and shopkeeper is
critical for manufacturers to become dominant market leaders.
