Posted this on the football board but thought it would get some more discussion over here.
Panini Authorized Distributors,
We will be launching our new B/M program with the solicitation of 10/11 NT
Basketball. Over the next few days, Panini direct accounts will be receiving updates
as to their current status. They will still have the opportunity to complete the
application process. This letter will highlight some of the key points of the
program and inform them about the price increase on all products starting with NT
Basketball.
I will send out 2 separate authorized lists. One list will be our qualified direct
list and the second list will be stores that have been submitted for approval. No
one can be sold any Panini product for the first 30 days of release if they are not
an approved Panini retailer and only authorized B/M can receive product for the
first 7 days product is live unless otherwise approved by me (i.e. National Trade
Show).
In addition, I will be sending you the Distributor MAPP Policy guidelines and the
Authorized Retailer MAPP Policy guidelines.
What are the highlights of the program?
· 7 day window for Authorized B/M retailers
· Retail MAPP Policy effective for 30 days from release date
· No business to business posting for 30 days from release for retailers
· Online case breakers must be submitted for approval
· Removing the SRP from products
· Authorized Panini Distributors may post on B2B in accordance with MAPP
guidelines
· Authorized Panini Distributors can sell (Pre-booking) to authorized
retailers at manufacturer listed wholesale price
· Authorized Panini Distributors may not sell below manufacturer listed
wholesale price for 30 days after release
· Case sizes will be the same going forward for Masters and Directs
· Authorized Panini Distributors are not allowed to sell to the end consumers
· Panini has the right to review all case sales and to allocate at our
discretion
· Can only sell to approved retailers for first 30 days of product release
· All case sales to non-authorized accounts after 30 days must be submitted
for approval
· No Cross border selling
· All product trades must be approved
Additionally....
· Brick & Mortar Stores will no longer be permitted to wholesale Panini
product - any stores caught continuing this practice will be terminated from the
authorized program.
· Only approved Authorized Internet Retailers may sell Panini product
online. Customer applications will be available in a few days. There will only be a
small number chosen to retail Panini products online. Show dealer applications will
be sent out during the next week to 10 days.
Stay tuned for program updates...
