What types of promotional incentives does ABG offer to its members?
LTOs (limited-time offers), BOGOs (buy one get one free), $100 gift cards, premium item giveaways, game tickets, concert tickets, and much more
Do you provide advertising frames as part of the membership?
Yes, we do. We sell outdoor poster frames and horizontal spanner frames, but the cost depends on several factors, such as the distance to your store, your purchase volume, compliance history, number of frames, any customization needed, etc. Please call, text or email us when you are ready to install the frames
What happens if a member chooses not to participate in a promotional campaign?
The member store should run the promotions to get discounted pricing. However, we understand that not all promotions are relevant for all stores. That’s why we can work with you if a promotion does not apply to your store
How do you calculate rebate checks?
Rebates checks are calculated based on purchase volume, shelf space given to ABG vendors based on fair market share, running the promotions, paying for deliveries on time, and staying in compliance with ABG’s program. Writing hot checks for order deliveries will disqualify your store from receiving rebates unless and until the NSF balance is paid.
Can members make changes to their reset planograms?
ABG planograms are developed after months of research and analysis of brands that perform well in other chains and corporate stores. While adhering to ABG planograms is important, we understand that not all stores have cookie-cutter space. That’s why we work with member stores to make adjustments to reset as long as the ABG vendors get their fair market share.
