Boost Your Tobacco Sales With A Scan Data Report Program
If you run a gas station, grocery store, cigar shop or any other type of store that sells tobacco products, you may be able to boost your sales or offer additional promotions by signing up for a scan data report for Altria or other leading tobacco manufacturers. Here's what a typical scan data report program can offer your business and your customers.
Tobacco Manufacturers Offer Discounts on Buying Multiple Packs
Many of today's leading tobacco manufacturers or sellers allow retailers to offer promotions in which the customer can save a dollar or two per pack when buying more than one. Steeper discounts may be available for cartons. In order to participate in this program though, your business may have to enroll in a special program that allows for the reporting of all scan data from your business. Specifically, every time you scan a cigarette box or carton at the register, the system will make note of it and do two things for both you and the customer: trigger the automatic discount for the current promotion and keep track of your sales data to ensure compliance with the promotion or program rules.
Offering a Discount or Promotion May Allow You to Generate More Sales for Your Business
Once enrolled in this program, you can advertise whatever the current promotion is to your incoming customers. This may make customers more likely to make an impulse purchase at the register or to come back to you specifically whenever it's time to stock up again. Over time, this will grow your customer base and overall revenue.
A Scan Data Reporting Program Will Ensure You Meet All Requirements for Reimbursement
One of the best features with these types of promotions or programs is that in many cases, the tobacco provider will cover the cost of the discount, which means your business will be reimbursed in full for any discount you provide to the customer at the register. In order to make sure you qualify for reimbursement, you may be required to sell a specific amount of products within a certain time frame. Installing a scan data reporting program will allow you to track this information and automatically provide your numbers to the tobacco manufacturers to ensure you get reimbursed.
If your business sells tobacco but would like to start seeing more sales, contact one or more of the leading tobacco manufacturers and inquire about a promotions program based on your store's scan data.
