REALIGNING BATA CARTON SUBCATEGORIES

In the coming weeks TSG will be realigning all carton subcategories for Bata products which had changed due to new smaller carton configurations. These include B&H 30s, Holiday Kings 22s, Dunhill 23s, Rothmans 30s, Pall Mall 30s, Winfield 30s and 40s and is necessary for promotional and price board purposes.

For example, Rothman 30/120 carton will change from R30X4 back to RTH30 in line with the packet subcategory whilst the 180-stick carton will be changed to RTH30D.

Most changes can be done automatically by TSG however, those without Bata terms and still selling the older style cartons need to let the IT dept know so we can accommodate for this.

Instructions on how to so in the link here.

Performance

• PML will be offering bonus share during Q4 to contribute to cigarette performance share tiers.  The bonus share will work as follows-
  • During Q4 (1st October to 31st December 2020) for every % point of share growth of Bond Street Classic FMC brand family of total cigarettes verses Q3 base will be doubled and added to the total PML FMC share of total cigarettes for Q4.  This will be used to determine the outlet’s total PML cigarette share of total cigarettes and therefore determine the outlets FMC share tier payment for Q4.
  • e.g. If a NSW Metro outlet’s PML FMC share during Q4 is 26% and their Bond Street Classic share during Q3 was 5% and they grow it to 6.5% in Q4 we will double the growth and add the 3%  to their total PML FMC Q4 share of 26%.  This means for the Q4 the NSW Metro outlet has achieved 29% share and will be paid at tier 1 for FMC performance.
  • Any new outlets that open in Q4 will be included for bonus share.
  • Please note that the bonus share will only be used to determine the share tier payments & will not count towards quality grade measurements.

• RYO share tiers will continue with the same adjustments made last quarter in Q4:-
  • Tier 1 >15%,
  • Tier 2 <15% and >10%
  • Tier 3 <10% and >5%
  • Tier 4 <5%
