Let's Make a Deal

As our editors walk trade shows and talk with manufacturers, retailers, importers, distributors and brokers, we continue to learn about the collaborative efforts of the specialty food and kitchenware business in weathering these tough economic times.

 

On the housewares side, we recently talked with All-Clad about their promotions. "After reviewing our assortment, we have developed an exciting limited-time pricing promotion for select All-Clad pieces," said Melissa Palmer, Vice President of Marketing Communications, Groupe SEB. "We understand the challenges facing our retailers in this economy, and we're thrilled to be able to give their customers the All-Clad quality they love at competitive prices," added Palmer about the price points, which will be available from July 2009 through January 2010.

On the food side, Barhyte Specialty Foods, the  company behind the new Saucy Mama brand of condiments, has launched its own “Barhyte Stimulus Package” to help gourmet and specialty food retailers revitalize sales.

The company's simple-but-effective two-point plan offers retailers a 15 percent discount between April 1 and May 15, 2009. It further includes one extra jar for demo use, when one dozen or more cases are ordered.     

"In this climate, homes and businesses alike are at risk of suffering from a taste recession," says Company Vice President of Sales and Marketing Chris Barhyte. "We may say this tongue-in-cheek, but we genuinely want to help retailers spread the message that saving money can be done … tastefully." 

The Barhyte Stimulus Package can be applied to any condiment in Barhyte's consumer brands lineup. For more information, visit www.barhyte.com.
