Live Session: Success in big retail – mission (im)possible?
October 23 @ 5:30 pm - 9:00 pm
Free
Success in big retail – a mission (im)possible? This is a question that not only starting food businesses are dealing with. In this Live Session we want to take a look at the specific requirements of Dutch retailers and the challenges that food producers might face when working with them, and vice versa. And we also want to discuss how you can make sure that your products stay on the shelf, once you’ve entered big retail. We have invited experts from two important players on the Dutch market to share their opinion and insights: Lidl and Crisp.
These are the topics that we will cover:
– What drives the buyers to purchase & what do they need from you?
– What are the certification requirements for the production?
– How do logistics and distribution work?
– How do you calculate prices & margins?
– How do promotions work and what budget do you need to allocate for that?
– When are the mutation dates of the different categories?
– And of course, all the mistakes you can make when getting started within retail.
