WHAT IS A SALES & MARKETING COMPANY?

Sales and marketing companies are an outsourced resource that can take care of all sales and merchandising responsibilities for a manufacturer. They manage the business at head office level, negotiating deals and promotions, or they can simply provide in-store merchandising coverage to ensure compliance with the agreed plans for individual retailers.

Most members provide marketing services and a significant number can also handle warehousing and distribution on behalf of clients. They operate across a number of channels including supermarkets, mass merchants, foodservice, hardware and pharmacy.

ASMCA members are involved in a number of industry groups which keeps them abreast of the matters affecting customer relationships and supply chain initiatives.

ASMCA members have a long and successful track record in gaining distribution of product ranges and managing business growth. This process represents a growing percentage of the business in the Australian supermarket industry now estimated in excess of 15% of all Australasian grocery sales.
