Trade-oriented sales promotion, aimed at intermediaries such as wholesalers and retailers, can be a powerful tool in a company's promotion mix.

It offers advantages, including incentivizing channel partners to push a company's products, which can drive up sales volume significantly.

Trade promotions offer better shelf space, enhancing visibility and potential sales for associated products.

Trade promotions foster loyalty and collaboration, building stronger relationships with channel partners.

Trade promotions accelerate market penetration for new products, motivating retailers to showcase and boost their sales.

On the other hand, Trade-Oriented Sales Promotion also comes with its share of drawbacks.

Trade promotions can be costly, with uncertain return on investment.

Temporary sales boost from trade promotions are often short-lived, with sales returning to previous levels post-promotion.

Relying too heavily on trade promotions can create a dependency among channel partners, resulting in ongoing expectations for incentives that may gradually erode profit margins.

Competition can undermine the effectiveness of your trade promotions if rivals offer similar or superior deals, resulting in a promotional battle with diminishing returns.

In conclusion, trade-focused promotions are powerful for boosting sales and visibility.
