Yet RJR was able to slow Doral''s steady decline in the fourth quarter by grabbing share from GPC through price and merchandising incentives. Popular product changes like packing more tobacco into sticks for a longer burn, as well as the Doral & Co. loyalty program, also helped. Still, some maintain that EDLP protected Doral by nudging cheaper brands off shelves. "A lot of cigarette companies have major problems with EDLP," said one retailer. "Commonwealth is one company made to suffer for it. If [Commonwealth] wanted us to put their Montclairs on deep discount, we''d have to turn them down because we''d go under the Everyday Low Price."The program has prompted fifth-placed Liggett Group to file an antitrust suit against RJR. Reynolds has also been on the plaintiff side of the court room, joining forces with B&W and Lorillard in a 1999 suit accusing Philip Morris of forcing retailers to give its brands choice shelf positions.PM and RJR contend their incentive programs enable retailers to better manage inventories while minimizing out-of-stocks. Neither demands exclusivity or takes away a store owner''s prerogative to carry competing brands. RJR claims its merchandising program allows retailers to "sell not only more R.J. Reynolds tobacco products, but also to increase retailer''s sales in the entire tobacco category and total overall store sales," said Jim Boehm, senior manager of trade marketing."Philip Morris competes vigorously, but is in compliance with the law, and Retail Leaders is no exception," said PM rep Mike Pfeil. "The program offers retailers choices and flexibility to achieve a strong category presence in their stores and restrict youth access to smoking."In April, Philip Morris began its 15-cent per carton payouts to Retail Leader participants with non-self-serve tobacco sections, an effort aimed at reducing youth access to cigarettes. Retailers were required to post" We Card" signs, to certify that employees participate in an age-verification program every six months and place in-store cigarette ads no more than two feet away from tobacco products. While the new rules are garnering cautious praise from anti-tobacco activists, some marketers argue that by reducing the retail footprint of all cigarette brands, Philip Morris is grabbing first dibs on the prime shelf and signage spots behind the counter, and continuing to shrink the profile of competing brands. ©2003 www.capricigarettes.net All rights reserved. |
