I’m travelling to a line-review invitation with a national banner. Such line reviews, for those who are not familiar with the process, involve a comprehensive review of what, specifically, a prospective supplier is suggesting when talking about a national listing. Is the supplier proposing that a competing SKU be removed from the retailer’s shelf? If so, which one? Why will the retailer be better off? How will the retailer’s business benefit? What is the competitive environment today in this category, from the perspective of the supplier? What does this possible new supplier commit to and how will they deliver on those commitments? It’s a highly detailed process and is reviewed by the retailer’s category management team. Winning Colours has been known for a while, because we have approached senior retailers diligently for a long time. Now for the first time, the invitations are emerging. This no doubt means that our brand is moving up the decision making ladder. Participation in such a review is not a guarantee of a listing. Most aspiring brands will not be selected. The process takes longer than people outside the industry would suppose. It’s also more sophisticated. The days of just getting a listing for personal reasons are long gone in the largest firms.
BTW, while on this trip, I have already met people in the most unexpected places that have an interest in stock trading. One of the most enthusiastic was a parking lot shuttle bus driver! That’s his hobby/second income, and he has done it for years. This gentleman shared with me the encounters he has had with Frank Sinatra, Dean Martin and other Las Vegas/West Coast personalities over the years while he lived out there, but returned to Buffalo (my point of departure) for family reasons. The subject of his stock trading brought out a real sparke in his eye.

With one or two authentically national accounts activated, there is no challenge currently faced by Winning Brands that couldn’t be put to rest, whether financing or anything else. The flood of activity that it would bring would be a game changer. Naturally, there are always some skeptics around who will think of a dozen reasons why something good won’t happen. I, for one, am betting that it will.
Cheers.
